I remember in the 90s when I was 14 I had a petition I was trying to get people to sign, that would push for a bill to allow for legal violence against the kkk and nazis. This was 1997ish.
Literally everyone thought I was joking. Some laughed. Some scolded me. One old man said he killed nazis in the 1940s, and it was disrespectful to mock his efforts. I said "I'm not mocking you. I want to kill any nazis that may arise in the 1990s." He still didn't believe/appriciate me.
Somewhere out there might exist a man who regrets not signing your petition.
I would have gotten my ass beat trying to pass that petition.
But I grew up in the south.
