You can disagree with the position, whilst accepting that MPs have been murdered, and MPs do get threatened online.
What specific level of power hunger makes a threat to life acceptable?
Further, I wasn't in favour of these proposals, but if you have people on HN of all places thinking its acceptable to threaten people, maybe we do need this law.
Law === Threat
That is a threat in the broadest sense.
the more useful comparisons are
law != violence || threat of violence threat != violence
unless youre just equivocating the 2 meanings of threat to construct an argument?
So as law isn't equivalent to violence, why is it acceptable to bring violence into it?
MPs are getting murdered, so they introduce a new law to prevent murder.
Is the parents comment acceptable?
I'm saying that making sarcastic comments suggesting that MPs deserve to be murdered or threatened isn't acceptable.
Its a completely separate issue from the law theyve introduced, which as I said, I'm not in favour of, and I agree they need to make the case before they remove your toilets, I've already made such a comment elsewhere in this thread.
