I will happily stand up for the basic human rights of people who may despise me. They're rights.

Even if someone thinks I'm awful, that doesn't mean it's ok to wipe them out. If they start harming people then it is appropriate to handle that however is prudent but I believe that people ought not be tried, convicted, and executed in someone's head.

Besides, solidarity has a marvelous tendency to build bridges.
