Silver Tongue

theconcealedweapon:

If you really care about preventing government tyranny, your #1 priority must be making sure criminals have rights.

And that’s not a joke or an exaggeration.

If criminals don’t have rights, then all the government has to do is find some excuse to label people as criminals, and those people will no longer have rights. It’s what literally every tyrannical government in all of history has done.

If you believe that people who break the law should forfeit their rights, you’re literally as pro-tyranny as a person can get.

A government that strips the rights of criminals has a vested interest in labeling those who oppose its agenda as criminals
