Ex-Reporter Deletes Tweets Questioning Whether Assassination Would Save Roe V. Wade
Amid concerns about the safety of the conservative Supreme Court justices, a former reporter pondered online whether assassinating Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito would save Roe v. Wade.
“Interesting real life trolley problem in America now,” tweeted Simon Gwynn, whose public profiles say that he worked for Haymarket Media Group as a journalist before he reportedly resigned over “unwise” tweets. “If you had the chance to kill Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, the two oldest right wing Supreme Court judges, should you do it while Biden can get his nominees to replace them confirmed?”
“It’s interesting as an abstract question but becomes a real conundrum if, say, you’re terminally ill and have little to lose yourself, but know that it could save many women’s lives in the future,” Gwynn continued.
He has since deleted the tweets, which were preserved by the Washington Examiner’s Jerry Dunleavy, saying that Twitter “is not often a good place for” thought experiments of this kind. – READ MORE
