Using a proxy to commit violence is ( IMHO ) not going to make one less culpable than if one commits the violence "hands on".  How many agree with this ?  If a woman uses a man to beat someone up , she is no less guilty than the man.  If a man uses a group to beat someone up , he is no less guilty than the group.     #usingAproxy

So I argue, one should consider punishments carefully before lobbying for them.  I think Ray Rice was over-punished by the NFL.  I think Adrian Peterson was over-punished by the NFL.  I think Vladislav Miftakhov was over-punished.  I think drug users are over-punished. 

You can't take punishment back.  Once it has occurred... there it is.

I don't favor punishment .... nor do I desire to be punished.  #pppunishment

Voting is violence because every time a human pulls that lever they are legitimizing a proxy to use force to exact tax tribute, regulatory compliance and the maintenance of a police state. The state quite literally goes into your neighbor’s house on a consistent basis and demands a portion of that person’s wealth at the end of a gun; they don’t knock, they stroll in and take what they wish under color of law.
