    I thought you just wanted him afraid? Sounds like you too actually want him literally killed without charge or trial

    Those are not mutually exclusive. One is much more likely to happen than the other.

    And if someone does end up committing a murder because of some twitter post and going to prison for it, hey, that’s one less ticking time bomb walking the streets. Ol’ nick’s life is far less valuable than those of random innocents. And one more martyr is not going to change anything. They are perfectly capable of substituting imaginary slights for real ones.

      Do you think that “they could be killing us” will get the same response as “they ARE killing us”? Trump and supporting militias are going to have a field day if people like you get their way. If you think it’s bad now, wait until the 134 million American gun owners on both sides are enraged by proven examples that make them fearful of being murdered by their fellow countrymen.

          What examples do you mean? Public/media figures like Fuentes have been killed? I didn’t know that. I’m Canadian, but I didn’t even know that Republicans and Democrats were regularly killing each other based on political affiliation. And nothing happened? No court cases, no escalations in rhetoric, the murders just disappeared? I would have thought it would be big news.

          If that’s not what you mean, what do you mean by proven examples of the things we’re talking about?

          I guess if you guys kill just a handful of people it’s alright, yeah? I don’t know what it will accomplish given the millions of people that fall under the category of “should die” in this thread, other than ruining/ending lives (including your own). But if you’re right perhaps you can get away with a few before it really kicks off. BTW, in case someone reads this - don’t kill people even if you’re angry. I don’t actually think “just a few” murders are the right thing to do.
