    How else can one react to a person defending a violent criminal? Maybe you should remove such comments instead.

      First, a guy carrying a toy sword is not “a violent criminal”.

      Second, even if they were, defending them doesn’t break any of the community rules.

        First of all, it’s not a toy sword according to the law. Second, that guy was carrying it unsheathed. Third, he didn’t have a good reason to carry. But fourth, the most important thing, that guy is a known criminal who already served four years for burglary. He broke not a “community rule”, he broke multiple laws and is a known offender.

          We aren’t talking about what the guy did, we’re talking about you wanting to remove another users comment for imaginary reasoning.

          Nothing in the comment broke the rules, that comment stands.

          The reply to it broke the civility rules, it was removed.
