Traitors as well.

I'd have an easier time agreeing with this if the terms pedo and child groomer and sex trafficker and traitor weren't just used to label pretty much anyone you disagree with these days.  I realize calling someone these things and legal conviction are two different things, but I also feel like we might need to dial back the zeal we have for killing people who "deserve it."

I may need to step back from the internet for a bit.  I just feel like we're doing a lot of labeling of people and asking the government to eliminate them for the good of society, and we clearly have a tenuous grasp or a lack of interesting in grasping who and what is really dangerous. 


EDIT - I'll add I'm not making legal decisions here or saying right/wrong.  I'm just pointing out that our society has a possibly unhealthy zeal for the concept of killing people for good reasons.
