The proper punishment for tyranny is death and hanging is perhaps the mode of execution most appropriate to that species of villainy. It is far more uncivil to act the part of the tyrant then it is to call for the just punishment of the same, and our government should perpetually fear the wrath of we the people.
Rep. Angel Cruz has boldly sponsored legislation that is blatantly unconstitutional in violation of his oath of office. It is good that he should fear for his personal safety when acting in such a manner. This legislation, by itself, is likely not egregious enough to justify the taking of his life, but our sacred liberty has been dying in small incremental pieces for decades. I can understand how a rational man might have reached that point where the burdens of government are as heavy as he can bear and to heap one more insult, however minor in appearance, might surpasses his capacity to endure. If someone where to kill Rep. Angel Cruz for sponsoring this legislation, I would not convict if empaneled on a jury to pass judgment on the act.
A man's ability to tolerate tyranny or oppression varies substantially with some men willingly accepting any insult, even slavery, to preserve their lives while other men can not abide living subject to another's will. As our government becomes increasingly tyrannical, the number of men who are compelled by conscience to desperate acts of resistance will increase until the government's oppression becomes so extensive and so unbearable that the people, as a whole, will revolt in a spontaneously effort to restore their natural freedoms. On such a day, it will be far more than a single legislator that will find himself hanging from the limb of the nearest convenient tree, it will be the entire class of politicians who have exercised their will over a free and sovereign people.
Respectfully,
