I'm pretty sure there are a few rape victims of his that would have a good argument for killing him.

Not the limit of what the US can do, but what can be done with a minimal US death toll.

Interesting! I'll check it out. Thanks

If everyone was like you and me, anarchy would work perfectly fine as a social system. I don't want to control anyone and I don't care how anyone lives their life as long as it doesn't directly harm me. But rules aren't developed for reasonable people, but because of unreasonable people. Ultimately I'm more afraid of unreasonable people with no restrictions than I am of the present system.

I'm not going to pretend I don't think some sort of hierarchical system is most effective for minimizing instances of mob rule. I think it's fair to say it is an inevitability that sometimes the majority will want something that is very bad for a minority or an individual.

I have a hard time thinking of a non-hierarchical method of preventing the tyranny of the majority. For example, what happens when a To Kill A Mockingbird type situation happens where someone is falsely accused of a heinous crime and the public wants blood? There won't always be an Atticus Finch in reality to persuade people to choose logic over emotion.

The remaining 23% would get shot by Trump and then blame liberals for moving the bullet.

Zero argument from me on that one.

Chattel slavery sure, but slavery in general predates the existence of nation states by centuries. That is beside the point. While lynching has become associated with chattel slavery, it refers to any extrajudicial vigilante execution. The term "Lynching" was coined during the American revolution after extrajudicial corporal punishment or killing of British Loyalists. It was later used quite a bit against Chinese and Mexicans in the American West. Current racial associations arose after the Civil War. (Justifiably so. I'm certainly not arguing that African Americans didn't get the worst of it.)

Lynchings are also what happens when people learn to speak and act for themselves.

You tell me who the overwhelming offenders are of child marriage. Just take a wild fucking guess.

You sound exactly like people who cite black crime rates and then swear they aren't being racist.

Michael Savage is still alive? I assumed he died years ago.

Okay, follow me here. If the marriages to underage boys aren't gay marriages, then what would the gender be of the adults marrying the young boys?
