Just Losing A Job?

[gatomontes99]

They should be arrested!

People across the nation have lost jobs after posts about Trump shooting

These people are saying things like "you had one job" and "next time aim better". What they are doing is a Clear and unambiguous endorsement of killing am American president. Their rhetoric is nothing less than a death threat.

Imagine a troubled person, desperate to be relevant and seen as powerful. How encouraging is it to know that hundreds, if not thousands, of people will rejoice in their actions? They think they'll be heroes.

The people that lament that Trump didn't die are encouraging another assassination attempt. That is worth investigating, charging and convicting them for their words. There is no first amendment right to incite violence against anyone, much less a president.

A. Definitely in poor taste

B. Losing jobs (social consequence) is clearly reasonable

C. You don't have your fascist state yet, so slow your roll. This is still, for the time being, America. Nobody is getting arrested, let alone convicted or punished for wishing someone dead. Nor even for a basic threat, which these people are not even making. To cross the line from free speech to action it has to reasonably be a "true threat."

The left normalized violence and calls for violence some time ago.  "Punch a nazi" was a big thing  and everybody who was right of bernie sanders was defined as a nazi.   They absolutely believed they were 100 percent justified and called for others to do it. 

only right wing thinkers believe that rights should  belong to all people. The left believes that human rights should be subject to their approval before being exercised

But when people got fired for offensive posts and behaviour, it was the end of culture remember?  Snowflake culture?

 

Looks like we're back to agreeing about civility.

The DemoNazi campaign, with the LIES and vicious attacks on America will make you eat those words about civility.

Last night, the Republican Party showed the most civility our political  system has seen in years.

Watch the DemoNazis throw civility out.

Well, actually:

871. Threats against President and successors to the Presidency  (a) Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President of the United States, or the Vice President-elect, or knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the President, President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

As a former POTUS, this applies.

Another opposite-of-reality post by the right. “Punch a Nazi” came about because the Right produced actual Nazis, one of whom killed a woman after ramming a crowd with his car.   The claim that anyone to the right of Bernie Sander was labeled a nazi is also a made up lie. 
 

Right wingers clearly don’t believe rights are universal which is why the OP wants people jailed for insulting Trump  And other influencers are consumed with “retribution” fantasies of rounding up the media, previously called for rounding up Muslims etc. A core principle of conservatism is social hierarchy where people at the top are to a certain degree “above the law” and social norms and people at the bottom are “below the law” and don’t deserve all the basic rights, which must be earned.  Just look at their views they’ve regularly expressed about the death penalty, torture, civilian casualties, migrants, and so on

Nope. This is just retribution. It's the world you on the left wanted to live in. 

Let us know if you get tired of it, because this will be just the start.

Nope, utter lie. And a lot of people who were very clearly not nazis were punched. And discussions about this were held all over the net at the time, it was quite clear that it wasn't about actual nazis any more than antifa is about actual fascists. 

So once again the left lies to excuse it's violence and tries to retcon it. 

You are a violent angry hateful people and you entirely support violence as long as it's against people you don't like. Pretty simple and the proofs in the pudding. Every time someone they don't like is subject to violence they cheer and encourage more. It was true then, it's true with trump.

You're saying that to deaf ear's, blind eye's and mouths the size of 1000 watt sub-woofers.
