Treason to a US State?

[katmai]

I hope katmai gets arrested for his treason of Alaska.

I understand the words as they are English, but can someone explain WTF he is trying to say.

John Brown wasn't engaging in vigilantism; he was fighting a war in the Cromwellian sense against an entrenched entity and those who espoused it, protected by law, custom and prejudice.

John Brown
Cromwell
Brown x Cromwell...

100% agreement...200% if that was possible...

[Neil]

Didn't he kill people in Kansas too?

that was just dust in the wind.

carry on, my wayward son.

Morals and ideas change over the years.  The wheel in the sky keeps on turning.

Having said that, I also don't see the basis of the "sham" argument;

I expect Berkut to have his opinion on the Brown matter, but you?  And as a Jew, no less.  Disappointing.

Actually, your position is the one I find interesting.  In my experience, law enforcement professionals generally don't endorse vigilantism, at least not publicly.

If anything, he was fighting for America's soul...you know, the one that was included in the Declaration of Independence.

John Brown was the 1800s version of those fucks who got glassed at Waco and Ruby Ridge.

Is his charade: the event of the season?

Somehow he knew; he knew more than me or you.

More like the 19th century version of the student radicals who blew up college buildings in the 1960s.

Wrong.  John Brown was not fighting against the government for the sake of fighting the government over such trivialities as gun laws, low taxes or the United Nations.  He was fighting against the institution of slavery, and the states that protected it.

Wrong as well.  John Brown was never a snot-nosed college punk.

The institution of slavery is trivial.

[grumbler]

The institution of slavery is trivial.

The abolishment of it is not.

Sure it is.

grumbler, don't expect a foreigner to understand.
