    That world isn’t a better place. The problem with violence is who decides when it’s used, and why it’s used.

    I don’t want politicians I support (who in my view are taking reasonable, legal actions) to be assaulted by opponents. It’s why we have due process, so that it’s not just a case of “we have a mob big enough to do this”.

    Quartering? That’s awful. Violence or detainment should not be used as punishment or to inflict pain, only to prevent future harmful actions.

      Yeah but have you seen the parliamentary brawls from other countries? Way better than the WWE or UFC
