@WrrrdNrrrdGrrrl @CTWritePretty Yes, lots of people think that way. Let's leave this matter aside. Such people support things like three strikes laws, zero tolerance policies, and mass incarceration--after all, people did things that can't be defended, so we must punish them harshly, right? I say no. — PolitiTweet.org

@ecclisiastamort @overstory1985 The most terrifying thing about the Puritan mindset is when someone says *don't throw stones at the person who did the bad thing* and someone in the crowd turns on that person and says *he must have done/thought a bad thing too*. Do you want to be that person in the crowd? — PolitiTweet.org
