The government is made of people. Those people might refuse to do their jobs too.
A protest is SUBSTANTIALLY more likely to happen than the original suggestion of charging state lawmakers with murder. There's no murder charge that would qualify.
Reckless endangerment and manslaughter.
They were warned that women would die due these laws and they didn't listen. They recklessly put those laws there and people died... resulting in manslaughter.
I'd prefer homicide too, but I feel like manslaughter charges would stick better because you don't have to prove intent, just that someone died because of their actions.
Riiiiight. Well, have fun storming the castle. Just don’t make a mess on my street, okay? I don’t want to have to clean that shit up.
Protest is a range of actions. Including things like boycott, self immolation, letter writing, emails, phone calls.
I already know you don't want to be inconvenienced by doing the right thing or even thinking about what is actually achievable. Charging lawmakers with murder isn't achievable because there's no legal basis for it. Like literally none. So have fun being a coward ig.
And there it is! Internet activists calling people they know nothing about “cowards”. Typical lemmy rhetoric.
You’re going to have to forgive me if I walk away from this conversation having felt a touch of second-hand embarrassment for you. That’s just me being me.
I’m just empathic that way.
Yeah…. Hey bud- you don’t get to insult people, and then call them out for not playing your shit-tier little games.
That’s not how things work with adults.
I wouldn't say I insulted you, more like described. You yourself said you'd sit inside while people protested women's deaths, and hoped you wouldn't be inconvenienced by it. Is that not an act of cowardice?
Okay bud, I think you’re done here.
No.
