Interesting way to put it. If it did solve problems, you would be ok with it happening?

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.

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.

		>> FL crafted a law to help safeguard someone who gets sued for running over a protestor > 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.` https://api.politifact.com/article/2025/jun/13/can-florida-d... >> FL crafted a law to help safeguard someone who gets sued for running over a protestor > Not true. This last bit seems like a pretty firm assertion. What is your source for it?
