I generally frown on people saying the appropriate policy is to kill groups of people, particularly groups traditionally discriminated against. Don't do it again.

EDIT: you know what? I'm being to lenient.

christemo, this is a public warning for inappropriate comments. Really don't do it again.

When Clive Lewis just got in hot water for making the comment "Get on your knees, bitch" in front of a load of women at a Momentum event.
