Days after board members laughed at the exchange, the Washington County Board of Education called the comments “shocking,” saying “no explanation can justify that.”
Just so we are clear, tarring and feathering is an extremely violent act. I’m not arguing against it, but covering someone in molten tar is not non-violent in the slightest. I’m personally all for it.
Thats because too many people sit on their ass waiting for other people to take care of it for them.
Coincidentally a lot of them are the same ones who call for violent action (and not all of them lean right).
These actions only work if a majority of citizens actually take them, not sit back and complain about how they dont work because things dont magically get fixed the instant a minority of people do it once.
my biggest complaint about the liberal/left is they will do anything but take charge. they seem to love sitting around and quarter backing and demanding someone else do something in their name… and a lot of them don’t even vote, because ‘what is the point’.
He’s a symptom. Violence against the idiots who can’t help but say the quiet part out loud on camera won’t stop the millions that do manage to keep the most blatant statements contained to men’s spaces.
What we need is a culture of nuanced introspection and personal growth, where people like him can admit that they’re pigs without it destroying their lives or moral standing, instead being a first step towards rehabilitation. Women and girls deserve to be kept safe from him and boys deserve better teachers, so he wouldn’t be able to work in education until he has done a lot of personal growth, but violence is just scapegoating.
Of course if the state threatens violence unless you pay taxes that pay for people like him to endanger women, then you can engage in organized mutual self-defense. Hard to get to that culture of personal growth otherwise.
In the mean time, people are entitled to organised mutual self-defense against him, which might also include violence but probably won’t.
And yes, punishment usually is scapegoating. “The offense” is some narrow, visible, and clearly defined thing that makes someone the convenient target to pin all the blame on, regardless of who was responsible for everything leading up to it.
the reason this keeps happening is because people refuse to call for violence against filth like this
There is more effective ways of dealing with it, outside of violence. I do like tar and feather though, just the right amount of violence

What are those more effective ways?
All the ones I can think of that don’t involve violence don’t seem to be working.

Bingo.

That wouldn’t be scapegoating? He did actually commit the offense. It’s punishment.
Scapegoating does not require the scapegoat to be innocent of the thing they are rendered a scapegoat of. When a bunch of kids smash decorative plates and they all say afterward that only one of them did it, that one kid is a scapegoat even if that kid did smash some plates, or even the most plates.
