This is what we are talking about, except that about 1/5 (or 1/2, or 1/10, or 3/4 -- whatever) of the group is pretty inclined to kill someone if they get a chance, and no one in the group is particularly inclined to stop them. Under those circumstances, if you join that group, you have no business claiming later that you aren't a murderer because you didn't personally pull the trigger.

well, that and common law has enacted a felony murder law- have congress propose a new law:

Proposed: A racist result that occurs in the course of voting, even an accidental racist result, to be charged against the voter as racism. A voter can be guilty of racism during the course of the dangerous voting even if the voter is not the one doing the act that has the racist result, as might happen when a President builds a wall -- the voter for financial reasons, as well as the voter in the MAGA hat, may be charged with first-degree racism. The rule extends to unusual circumstances, such as the racism resulting in one of two voters being, say kicked out of the country, by the presdient(the remaining voter may be charged with racism).
