I just remember that your vote is either a call for state violence or opposing state violence. If you are going to use state violence, make sure it's inline with how Christ taught us to interact with others. We are to give the thief what they want, not be the thief. We are to forgive debts, not impose debts upon others. We are supposed to be submissive when enslaved, not to be the slave owner. We are supposed to protect others against aggressors, not be the aggressors. We are to be submissive to those that claim authority over us, not to claim authority over others.
