All they have to do is get on gab.com if they want a completely free speech platform.
Strangely Trump and his ilk haven’t jumped over to Gab yet. Perhaps because they don’t want to be associated with what actually happens to a platform that allows unrestricted free speech.
Is the POTUS clearly inciting violence or is it another instance of people having a wild interpretation of what he said? I'm so tired of this dynamic that I don't even bother anymore.
> These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!
Worth noting that this is a quote from former Miami Police Chief Walter Headley. In '67, he said the phrase "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" during racially charged protests.
> Is the POTUS clearly inciting violence or is it another instance of people having a wild interpretation of what he said?
The POTUS unambiguously quoted racist Miami police chief Walter Headley who called for violence against African Americans during the civil rights movement of the 1960s. This couldn’t be a more clear example of inciting violence.
You do know that he was talking about MS13 gang members who had murdered people. People need to stop reading media spins and watch actual full un-edited footage.
If you truly believe in what they are doing, then buy their stock and prop up the price, because it is plunging right now. Words alone are about as useful as clapping for healthcare workers.
Even nonviolent protest was never intended to be peaceful. Not in they way many people would use the word “peace”, anyway.
“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action’; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season.’”
That’s MLK in his letter from a Birmingham jail. Who was completely devoted to nonviolence. Even he made abundantly clear that nonviolence does not equal a lack of pressure or tension.
One literally says that they will send military and says there will be shooting. The other doesn’t put the word violent near the word revolt at all.
Of course, everything is subjective. It all depends on how many people interpret something in a particular way. You’re not objectively wrong, but I don’t believe the majority of folks reading share your same view.
