Thanks for the recommendation, I'm looking for new reading material so I just threw it in the cart over on Amazon.

Sure. That's a great thought absolutely; except he has no power to enact such a policy (admittedly not the strongest counter point), and he certainly had no power that day while being interviewed to enact such a policy (probably a comparatively stronger counterpoint).
In the absence of power wielded to actively 'genocide' blacks like myself and others, pre-emptive assault says what about the assailant and those encouraging him?
That said, at the highest level-I don't disagree. I just wonder-again, where this road ends when we're looking for reasons to excuse pre-emptive physical assault at the presence of disagreeable ideas? Where and when do we begin to get uncomfortable with people getting slugged on the sidewalk for wearing a sign that says "I hate niggers?"

Not presupposing any conclusions here, just trying to further the discussion.
IMO it's the weakest of the series not including the reboots in the 2000's which I don't even consider canon and there's nothing you can say to convince me otherwise :P
I hadn't heard about the shooting, but I think you've asked a pretty interesting question-one I will admit just looking at the reaction to Spencer alone I'm afraid to find an answer to.
Regardless of which "side" is more in the right or alternatively (see what I did there?) wrong about it, however you want to define "it", things are escalating towards a weird place and the terminus doesn't look pretty just by how we've gone about the last few weeks.
