I Don't Understand Why Democrats Keep Calling For Free Speech

[ChristisKing]

My very first statement clearly addressed it. Quit repeating an issue already addressed.

You didn't address the fact that that is equal to or can be equal to violence and I'm pretty sure that it does here.

People like this I want legally executed as they're dangerous.



These people already had a history of violence though. I thought that you of all people would have realized that.

You should be executed for espousing murder under your own rules.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

A lot of you keep asking me this question. Even some of you being Republicans. Well this is why. Tell me honestly, do you think that any of these people should be allowed to walk free in society?

Just remember if restrictions are put in place they apply to the right as well as the left. Be careful what you wish for.

The college can limit what its students place or hang on their property. if the college really thinks the students are being threatened, they can remove the signs.

Yeah and they can also notify the FBI, which they already have done.

Prosecute them for what they do, that is legal and right.
Provide an alternative argument for what they say. Easy choice.


What you silly bastards overlook is that once you do this to them, when the pendulum swings they will be doing it to you, following YOUR precedent.

If authorities decide there is a real threat of violence, that has never been free speech.

Yes, but when do Republicans ever act like this and if they do act like this they most certainly should be prosecuted for it!!

I don't understand what the problem is because anybody who is this dangerous should be prosecuted no matter what their political party is.

That's exactly what's happening here!!

 

[Unkotare]

Liar!! The constitution never allowed for anything like this to be happening NEVER!!

What's the title of your thread?

Then the authorities can deal with it. No new restrictions are required or called for.

This isn't what our founding fathers had in mind though. As it leads and has led to violence.

That is considered a restriction then if it gets them arrested for it and it probably will.

The guys whose rhetoric led up to a bloody, violent, revolution, those founding fathers?

Actual threats Has never been free speech.

Proposing silencing what you oppose.
There is no significant 1st amendment difference from talking shit and actually meaning it.
Acting on it is another matter.

 

[ChristisKing]

That was a different kind of violence. It was the work of war to gain our freedom. This is terrorism.

Actual threats Has never been free speech.

So you don't find this threatening? They might not directly verbally be threatening anybody but anybody with eyes can see what's going on here.

A distinction without a difference.

What about Tyler Robinson? If anybody put a stop to him and his nasty speech that he had posted on social media Charlie Kirk would still be alive today.

Its irrelevant what I find threatening. Its up to the authorities.

Now.

There is an example of stomping on free speech.
