I'd hardly call a felony a reward. Risk killing someone is not the same as killing someone and ultimately if you aren't actually calling for a murder you haven't murdered them. The same logic that says that this is risking killing them so its as bad as murder when no actual call to kill someone...

Yeah same with death row. More so, I'd say. If you havent actually taken a life I think its a bit extreme to end anothers. Eye for an eye, proportional justice and all seems like a good idea to me.

Why that harsh though? Wouldnt just like making it a felony be enough deterrent?

Thats mildly extreme.

These tactics arent exactly new either. The founder of Mozilla resigned because his donation of 1k to Prop 8 was used against him even though that had nothing to do with the company. This is I think the first time its been used against a bunch of retirees and small business owners though.

I dont know in all honesty, its a hard line to draw. I think PACs should absolutely be open but when you are donating the $5,000 max I think that should be undisclosed given you arent coming even close to having influence over a congressperson at 5k. Like the article pointed out, $200 back then...

There is value to having them be public. You should know where the money is coming from to politicians. Politicians using it to name and shame and get public harassment against average citizens who donated to an opponent though? Pretty messed up.
