A Vox editor has been suspended for tweeting that people should riot if Donald Trump visits their towns.
Emmett Rensin, deputy editor of the website's first person section, violated company policy with the following tweet:
Advice: If Trump comes to your town, start a riot. — Emmett Rensin (@emmettrensin) June 3, 2016Vox founder Ezra Klein posted a statement about the suspension Friday afternoon:
"We at Vox do not take institutional positions on most questions, and we encourage our writers to debate and disagree. But direct encouragement of riots crosses a line between expressing a contrary opinion and directly encouraging dangerous, illegal activity. We welcome a variety of viewpoints, but we do not condone writing that could put others in danger."

I’m sure he was oh-so-reluctant to suspend him.
Fire him!
Beck and Emmett should have plenty to talk about.
Suspension? Jail time should be more like it!
send him the bill for injuries and property damage.
Is liberalism “smug”? In an essay for Vox, Emmett Rensin says yes. “There is a smug style in American liberalism,” he writes. “It has been growing these past decades. It is a way of conducting politics, predicated on the belief that American life is not divided by moral difference or policy divergence … but by the failure of half the country to know what’s good for them.”

Suspended is not fired. Fire him for inciting rioting.
Somebody needs to edit his Wikipedia page to include this nasty tidbit.
Will they fire him if charges for inciting a riot are filed ?
I can only imagine what kind of privileged upbringing he’s had. Not all of Chicago is an inner-city, not by far.
Yet Trump is the bad boy calling for violence?
Someone needs to edit him down to size. (Not that I am encouraging violence, of course).
Liberal “tolerance” on display once again.
These people are coming unglued at the thought of losing their liberal/progressive/statist government so many have worked hard for that last century.
Let’s hope more and more Americans wake up to the damage they have done to our country.

Low life, America Hater, Clinton supporter, Ezra Klein, should have fired him...outright!!! These Obamabots have no spine, unless they are protecting or defending illilegal immigrants or cop killers. Klein is the living sleaze of humanity!!!
“suspended” is code for promoted to some higher paying leftist job.
Kabuki theatre.
He was given a big pat on “butt” and rewarded, I’m sure. Suspended with pay, I’m sure, and, continue working from home.
Rewarded.
Yell “FIRE!!!” in a movie theater and they’ll lock your butt away....
Why is this guy still walking around...He did the same as that...
