My point exactly! How much more violent can you get beyond yelling "burn it down"? Why is that OK but "Go to DC and stand up for what you think is right" is now inciting violence.
Prior to this event, the left has been inciting violence for 4 years.
If referring to somebody as Hitler isn't inciting violence, what is? Hitler was a mass murder, he must be killed. Therefore comparing anybody to Hitler is incitement to murder. Isn't the whole point of this discussion is "words as well as actions have consequences"? But the words must be explicit that everybody can agree on and the word "fight", has to many meanings to be included in the words that incite violence. It is to broad a word. "Burn it down", "take up arms against the government" are words of incitement. "He must be removed from office" is another set of words with different means attached. It is in the "too broad" category. "You have to die" can never be condoned and is absolutely inciting violence.
Maybe that's the commission we need. Clearly define what is speech that incites violence and what isn't. Then there will be no excuses when someone uses the words that incite violence.
Problem is, not enough of us want to make the changes we all say we want. We first and foremost want to protect "our side" while condemning the other for the same actions.
Make it clear for everybody. Protesting is not wrong, it is not illegal but burning and looting are. Why wasn't there an effort to find every single person that burned or looted a building? Could it be because they were mostly but certainly not all Black? How many Democrat Mayors saw this lawlessness and over looked it because it was "their people". Isn't that exactly the argument being made about the riot we just witnessed? That since the people were mostly White, they got a pass? They were treated differently? Well, how can you complain when you just treated "your people" differently.
This crap that color justifies some actions, has to stop.
And just to be clear what I'm saying, if Jacob Blake with a knife in his hand two feet from a cop was White, his ass should have been shot to.
So let's start by shooting a whole bunch of White assholes.
Can I get an Amen and Awoman?
For all Trump's faults and there were many, the left incited violence against this man for 4 years. That's a fact. That doesn't justify a single thing Trump did but it was incitement to committ violence and you know it.
