      Yeah I legit cried reading that the first time.

      These are not the words of a mentally unsound man. These are the words of perhaps one of the sanest people in this deeply sick country.

        They tried dragging John Brown for the same damn thing. 150 years later and they keep trying to portray the sanest man in history as mentally unwell

          That just shows that they still don’t view the lashes and other ravages of slavery as violence. It’s when the victim fights back is when the violence counter starts. They can’t even admit 150 years later in hindsight that John Brown was sane and correct.

          Also if they don’t want corrective violence, perhaps they should do the right thing prior to violence. In the civil war one side DID fight for slavery, it just happened to lose. And peaceful abolitionists were lynched all the time.
