I agree up to a point. As long as we have legal means to remove them then yes, it’s not a good idea to use violence, threats of violence, vigilante action, or terror to achieve political aims. Down the road, maybe if the system is too corrupt to be fixed the nice way, then I’ll change my mind. I’m withholding my judgement of what future generations decide is the right course of action.
Typical behavior when you threaten the establishment. They will use their power to make an example out of someone that has challenged their authority. One has to tread very carefully to make change without crossing a legal line that can allow them to shut you down. Sadly it seems like this fellow let emotions run away in the moment and is paying an excessive price for that.
There’s a whole system filled with them. They all got each other’s backs. And they make it very difficult to take legal action against any one of them. Documentation of corrupt behavior and public exposure by journalists are some more effective weapons. Isolating a justice from their peers by marking them as an unsavory embarrassment can still be effective. (with the exception of true MAGA, who don’t care how bad they look)
