They're just speaking to a hypothetical person who thinks this will solve a problem. In no way does their post imply they'd be ok with it if it solved some problem.

A little wild to me that so many of the replies don't understand that.

No no i do get that of course, and i agree. Its just that the thing that struck me about the phrasing was that its a bit revealing. We are reviled by violance but we do allow its use in society everyday. But what violance and for what utility is acceptable seems to be a matter of debate. The line doesnt seem to be universally agreed on given the passion seen in this thread

Not gp, but if they were exceptionally large problems... Yeah.

Violence is never but sometimes the answer.

If it did solve a problem, it's possible it would be legal.

FL crafted a law to help safeguard someone who gets sued for running over a protestor. I think this illustrates how a law can protect problems rather than solving them.

Not true.

Source?

The truth is somewhere in the middle. Overview: https://eu.tallahassee.com/story/news/politics/2025/06/13/fl...

> Source?

    the defendant in the lawsuit can use the plaintiff’s participation
    in a "riot," as defined by the 2021 law, as "an affirmative defense."

    This means that the person being sued can argue in court that their
    action was justified by the riot.

This last bit seems like a pretty firm assertion. What is your source for it?

For starters, the headline of your link disproves your assertion.

Second, a rioter is not the same as a protestor.

Third, someone must have been in threat from a rioter to use that defense successfully.
