@PattyHanson @cdarwin But he didn't have that right. It was his delusion that's at fault here, not his rights.

@LouisIngenthron @PattyHanson @cdarwin but he /did/ have a people killing device.

Just because society might be doing the right thing here doesn't mean the point is wrong.

@ketmorco Maybe I missed the point, then. What do you think it was?

@LouisIngenthron that people believe they have the right to be judge, jury, and executioner. And that's bad.

which... seems like that's not a hard thing to get behind 🤔

@ketmorco Yeah, if that's all it is. I think we can all get behind the idea of lunatics harming innocents due to delusions being "bad".

But when the concept of "rights" get invoked, there's usually a little more to the message.
