Historically Japan would have executed someone like this and that's not an exaggeration there have been examples in the past. Now is that too authoritarian? maybe .
But Johnny Somali (apparently he's Ethiopian by the way so he even lied about that and his real name is Ramsey Khalid Ismael and he really hates people knowing that for some reason so im putting it out there. ) being a public nuisance , disturbing the public constantly and insulting the country constantly and yet nothing can be done about it because he's technically not breaking the law.
Now imagine tons and tons of people behaving like Johnny Somalis/Ramsey Khalid Ismael and creating public chaos and nothing can be done about it cause they are technically not breaking the law.
Suddenly authoritarianism makes more sense
Yeah ok but why does the government have to step in? Did they take a vote on the Australian punching him out?
Yeah someone could punch him out but technically the person doing the punching would be the one breaking the law. i hope he didn't get in to trouble for doing that. . In a democracy Johnny Somali can get away with being a public nuisance but the guy punching him out is technically the one that is breaking the law.
