That one was on purpose:

In the book, just like in the movie, Spearchucker reveals that the nickname "Spearchucker", ordinarily a racial slur, referred in this case to his javelin-throwing prowess.

They use the racism behind his nickname to address racism:

The film also depicts Spearchucker as a particularly skilled neurosurgeon and this, together with the experience of playing football together, helps Duke Forrest overcome his racial prejudices and the two become friends at the end, shaking hands when it is time for Duke to go back stateside.

Other red states have alreaddy gerrymanded several seats, so it should kick in anyway. It has a built in reset in 2028, so it already has enough contingency in it to undue its ugly neccesity.

Worth waiting for reviews. The last DLC was a clown show for months.

They dont have that much time:

The case will likely be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, but time is short: Candidates only have until Dec. 8 to file for the upcoming election.

Id expect the shadow docket will do its shadow tricks and halt the halt, but its not cut and dry.

Its your hypothectical man. I've told you the community will need to come to a consensus on how they handle violence. Thats the only answer I can give if you wont give me the details above.

Id be glad to. Just tell me the name of everyone in the society, their general roles in different social situations, their agreed on laws and rules, and their specific stance on violence and how they want to respond to it.

Once you do, I can answer your very specific questions about a hypothetical community that doesnt currently exist and hasent been defined by any of the people in it.

Sure. You try to head off the behavior before it gets there by ensuring basic needs are met for all and through social tools like shunning and group dynamics.

Your scenario springs up whole clothe without the above, so I would offer the following for it : Jail, exile, death. The order depends on the people involved in the society they created.

Being an anarchist doesn't mean you lack the current tools we use, it means you dont have to use them, or at least you dont have to reach for them first.

Thats pure Qanon mainlining. Your friend is literally in a cult.

Anarchy would shun them from social systems until they made appropriate reperations. They might be jailed, they might be exiled, they might just be cut off from all but basic food/services/etc.

There are law enforcement answers in anarchist societies that aren't "have cops."

We got a West North Carolina now? Fancy.

When are we getting East North Carolina, South North Carolina, or the holy grail, West East South North Carolina?
