In those comments, among others, Hedgepeth called for rioters to be "hosed down" with liquid human waste by septic trucks.

The fact that "our side" has done something similar in rare cases doesn't make any of it right. I would point out that in the Kirk case, many people are being disciplined for quoting Kirk's own words. People are being encouraged to turn in people they work with. Elon Musk has a list of 30,000 and counting of people to target.
