Bullinger’s fourfold argument for fully punishing violent criminals, from: 1. unavenged injury, 2. deterrence, 3. moral improvement, and 4. the multiplication of violence. First, “But if the blood of the guilty be not shed . and by letting them go hath left the innocent.

Bullinger answers the pacifist misuse of Matthew 26:52. “My answer to this is: that throughout all the scripture private revengement is utterly forbidden; but that that is done openly by authority of the public magistrate is never found fault withal. But that was private and.

Violent enemies in the act of ultimate violence are to be disarmed rather than defunded. Here is my fundamental beef with populism in a nutshell. It either breeds unseriousness, or it at least channels that inability to think seriously that was created by the good times of the.
