Re: shawn quinn is a US advocate of murder.
When the homeless camps between the highways and railroads in a city were "cleaned up", the entire areas were clearcut of vegetation. Many were protected wetlands. People's tents and sleeping bags were physically slashed and confiscated. The people this happens to don't have avenues for legal action, they are busy figuring out how to survive. After Occupy Wall Street, which had turned into networks of homeless shelters, this happened across the world. Some blame inaccurate messaging to law enforcement from their superiors. Of course, Shawn stated they are familiar with police abuses.
Re: shawn quinn is a US advocate of murder.
The points Punk-Stasi raises are common anarchist values. It's notable that in the usa the police usually do not physically murder people (although it happens occasionally on a regular basis). The actions of government and enforcement do cause a lot of indirect death that people fight. but most don't think about this. I've been directly exposed to how forced eviction of panhandlers from public areas can murder those with limited options who needed shelter for the winter, but I think people usually consider larger impacts. Community libel is not anarchist, of course. Criticism belongs aimed at abuse of power, not community discourse.
