These people should be hung.

People who say something you don't like should be lynched? Really? How about what you are doing, advocating for someone's murder?

They didn't advocate murder, only a sentence. It's a way of expressing a preference that something be illegal, and have a particular punishment.

There's a difference between someone who says something, and someone who acts out on it - and when they're in the business of selling weapons or profiting from it - and say something like that, which will lead to action or is inherently acted upon because of the nature of what they're doing (the business they are in) - then it's no longer just a "freedom of speech" thing.

You can say you want to kill someone, or even tell them you're going to kill them - but under law, it's only when you act on it OR have a plan to do so that the scenario becomes illegal - and you'll go to jail if you then kill said person (assuming you get caught) or have a plan to do so. Likewise, them just saying wouldn't be illegal, however I feel them acting out and selling actual weapons to both sides (and perhaps somehow inciting war between two parties to then profit) should IMHO be illegal, stating their intent they would and would love to is not only having a plan stated but perhaps one of the most disturbing disconnected inhumane uncaring violent acts a person could partake in.

I don't generally agree that killing of anyone is right - though perhaps with the only exception of those who actively kill others or lead violence - however that's for a society to determine what is acceptable. Unfortunately many things a society deems unacceptable (even existing laws that are enforced) are happening and go unchanged, though we're moving towards a system that is more in line with general views. There are more basic issues that need to be taken care of first to help alleviate people's worries and stresses, removing fear of survival will solve most, if not lead to solving all problems.

War profiteers, the good guys.

Mean, cynical and snarky remarks are a hanging offense, apparently

To note, my comment is under the assumption they are involved in facilitating this process, and not merely just talking about it.

So you said that people should be hung without having the first clue about why? I love hn on the weekends.

You mistakenly are thinking that I literally meant these specific individuals and not in general those who facilitate this kind of thing.

You don't see any problem with this, a conflict of interest, that might lead to incentivizing said weapons company to be more inclined to help incite a war between two parties - which they'll clearly be happy to profit from?

I believe you mean "hanged".

They probably are.

I think you mean hanged.
