What's really depressing is this hasn't actually gotten to the point of "free helicopter rides" and "right wing death squads", but you would think it has if you listen to NPR and CBS, or get your info from Reddit.
These people have no idea. A couple retards fucking around and finding out is not a deliberate policy. In both the cases of Good and Pretti, they deliberately put themselves into a situation where they are interfering with the activity of armed federal officers. Whether doing so is justified or not, if you start stepping up to men with guns, your odds of getting shot go up dramatically. And in both these situations when they rolled those odds, it was because on top of stepping up to men with guns they were also acting fucking retarded.
This is hardly a deliberate policy to gun down leftists in the streets. But if they start behaving like it is, then we have a serious problem. As others have pointed out, people with conservative inclinations have a very different mindset on the use of violent force to liberals. Liberal thinking people really like concepts of proportionality and gradual escalation. "Just shoot their legs bro! Fire a warning shot bro!" Stuff like that. Conservative thinking individuals have no such idea of gradual escalation. The state is binary. No violence, or extreme violence. The moment the decision is made to use violent force by a conservative thinking person, it is immediately lethal. Like Kyle Rittenhouse or that guy who went after the pedo abusing his daughter in Arkansas.
