The White Rose Resistance (WRR), where Zacharia sat on the board until February, is best known for its anti-abortion disinformation, harassment campaigns against providers, and for collecting the country’s worst extremists. The group’s national outreach director AJ Hurley, for example, was charged with felony stalking of an abortion provider in San Francisco in 2022.

They do not respond to this logic. The hypocrisy is the point and they consider this hypocrisy good. If you kill, you’re a murderer, have rejected the Lord, and deserve death. Do not waste your breath trying to explain the ethics of the death penalty to someone who supports it because of sheer bloodlust.
If you ask, “What if an innocent person is inadvertently found guilty, executed, and then later exonerated?”, that will not register to them as a valid concern. They think it’s worth it and you are wasting your breath by asking. They believe in a God who ordained a commandment against killing, while also commanding genocide. They think the Creator of the Universe and therefore reality is just like that. It can’t be wrong. By definition.
I wonder if they would respond to the logic that they are playing god. They think it’s fine to do God’s job for him, for them to judge and mete out his punishment in this life, far before the real “judgement day.” That’s awfully presumptuous, considering that’s God’s job and the Bible even says “leave it to me, do not attempt.”
