Even the Earp’s stood trial after the gunfight at OK Corral. A few years back, my neighbor in Texas discovered someone in his home at around 2 am, shot and killed him. He was exonerated, but it still cost him a pretty penny for lawyer fees. Anyone who employs the lethal use of a firearm should understand that there is no get out of jail free card, even dire circumstances, or even in defending your home against invaders.

I don't always agree with the establishment narrative that everything is fine, and I suggest you be approach it skeptically too.<br /><br />I'm a fan of publish and be damned, give 'em enough rope etc. The wrinkle with social media is the way the various platforms promote dangerous ideologies as an accidental by-product of algorithms tuned to maximise advertising revenue. No human editor working at the most despicable tabloid would make the reckless editorial decisions these unattended algorithms do! Twitter (the platform) doesn't care how many people it radicalizes, as long as it delivers eyeballs to its advertisers.
