Murdering Fascists in the U.S.? Don't Do it

Prof. Erik Loomis provides some good material, including his grave and labor segments, often mixing in some nuance. Also, push comes to shove, he realizes the need to support imperfect people in the real world. But, he also likes to talk like a tough guy, including tossing around "fascist" and the like. Fine.

Still, this talk of some "moral" right for this guy to murder people is immoral in my view. The critics might be easy targets but he sorta helped. His death sounds dubious though his own sister seemed to suggest at one point it might be suicide by cop. Oh. John Brown was an unhinged fanatic. I'm wary of the idea that some ICE agent should be labeled in dehumanizing terms. But, this crosses a line. This is not the same thing as questionable use of violence at some labor protest. Loomis is primping too much to see that.
