I'm sure a bit of murdering will totally cool things down and peacefully resolve things, with no innocent deaths or casualties. As we all know, vigilantes never make mistakes.

Violence is sometimes the only way forward, though. It should be the way of last resort, but a way nevertheless. That's why we have democracy: so we can remove the people in power by ballot instead of by guillotine. When the former avenue is blocked, violence is all that remains...

Doesn't this go right back to thinking things through before attacking people people?

Right or wrong, when people are abused repeatedly, and or they cease to believe in governance, they will act out and it won't all be nice.

The root cause here is an authoritarian regime failing to justify their authority. People acting out is a symptom.

> People acting out is a symptom.

Yes, but the discussion here is about whether Apple should facilitate or hinder particular kinds of act by people.

That's not a symptom for Apple, that's a dilemma for Apple, and there is no truly neutral option.

Yes, and I spoke to that in the thread. This comment was in reference to violent and or just not so nice political action.

Regarding apple...
