Oh it was definitely a jab but solely for Carpy and not others. As she has expressed in post after post that she is against stricter gun control measures because it would hurt her business and has a rather lax attitude in regard to mass shootings from schools to concerts etc because any talk of gun control would affect her livelihood. So it wasn't at all surprising to me that she'd volunteer to pull the trigger on a child rapist, or frankly anyone she dislikes and thinks is a "criminal" , so long as she could get away with it.SouthernIslander wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2023 12:23 pmMy comment was in response to the jab that was thrown at people who would shoot a child rapist.Baconqueen13 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 27, 2023 10:25 pmYeah but I wouldn't necessarily advocate random people volunteering to "pull the trigger". And I'd still be wary about legalizing the death penalty for sexual abuse of a child in Republican led states that want to ban abortion and access to contraceptives because depending on how the law is written a miscarriage could then be considered "inhumane abuse of a child" and you're carting an innocent woman off to jail and executing her for spontaneous abortion or an ectopic pregnancy that was non viable. Florida already bans abortion after 15 weeks with NO exception in cases of rape incest or human trafficking. And they are introducing legislation to punish healthcare providers for performing abortions....slippery slope and it really depends on terminology.SouthernIslander wrote: ↑Fri Jan 27, 2023 10:13 pm
I understand guns is a touchy subject, so I know you’re not excusing abuse towards a child and I don’t think you’re that type of person who would.
But it’s not non-chalant, it’s actually the opposite. Sexual abuse towards a child is extreme and justifies an extreme reaction.
In short I really don't trust Republicans and ESPECIALLY not DeSantis...
But as for punishing proven child rapists......The death penalty is too kind.
I don’t like DeSantis, I disagree with death penalty, I have never owned a gun and I am fully aware of how batshit crazy some of these southern republicans are.
But I’m not gonna judge someone for simply saying they would shoot a child rapist because a lot of people would make that exception, including me.
Not saying this should become law, but I can understand the anger that would definitely push me to that point.
Was it a cheap shot? Absolutely.
