That was my point.
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common,
But turns the bigger robber loose
Who steals the common from off the goose.
The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own,
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine.
The poor and wretched dont escape
If they conspire the law to break.
This must be so, but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law.
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common,
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back.

They DID kill everyone they didn't like. And we killed more of them back. WE WON. Violence shut them up.

Good lord, you're actively using "They used violence for good!" as an excuse to forgive violence?

He never said that. He said Trump should be pardoned in the case in which he was found guilty.

Do you have a citation for that 68,000? I bet it's 68k uninsured, but lack of insurance is another matter.
