AFAIK, our society doesn't traditionally ask the bashers whether they feel like they are doing something wrong.


Wouldn't it be sweet if racists got to dictate whether they were harming minorities?

Or domestic abusers whether their spouses and/or children were being physical harmed?

Or whether homophobic citizens were harming "gays" ?


Somehow that would be a very free nation indeed.
