Right now, this is analogous to having an active shooter walking around gunning down people, and a random person safely elsewhere saying ‘Don’t shoot him, he has rights!’. No, people are actively suffering and dying. Fix the emergency first, then consider the ramifications.

The problem is that the ramifications are clear as day and imminent. Other parties have been calling for ISP blocks for the longest time.

Using your analogy, the active shooter is walking around holding a dead-man's switch connected to bombs in a few other areas. People like you are saying "it doesn't matter that bombs are going to explode, just shoot him!"
