Re: When thought crimes carry harsher penalties than actual crimes against people.
There is very little measured and reasoned discussion about this issue and a hell of a lot of peer-pressured virtue signalling.
People don't seem to be very interested in long-term consequences and more interested in being seen to be doing "something".
That is evident by the obvious diversion of the public away from genuinely difficult questions about what would drive someone to do such a heinous act to other peripheral concerns like gun control and hand-wringing about racism and bigotry.
