It is utterly appalling that you would defend death-threats. The next time there’s a mass-shooting, I better not see you on that thread complaining that the cops weren’t doing their job. Apparently that’s how you like it.
If you pull your head out of your benighted bunghole for a moment you’d see that I was not defending ‘death threats’.
I wasn’t even defending terrorist threats...which is what YOUR post was about.
What I take exception to is granting the police and politicians a loophole to due process that allows them to classify any speech at all as a ‘terrorist threat’ and then use that exception to attack whoever they want.
Example: Pro-life protesters planning on a peaceful protest in front of an abortion clinic are already being accused of making ‘terrorist threats’ by those who wish to silence them.
The anti-gun rights crowd never misses a chance to label almost every lawful activity by gun owners as a terrorist threat.
Why should we hand these people a tool to steal our rights and oppress us?
There’s a reason why due process is considered an inalienable right and we should not give it up so easily just because the media has scared people into surrendering their rights.
Speaking of threats let’s take a look at what you posted to me:
“... I better not see you on that thread complaining...”
That, my friend, is probably enough to pass muster as one of those ‘terrorist threats’ you’re so worried about.
Should I call the police and have them lock you up, take your guns, and deprive you of your rights all because someone can choose to interpret your post as a terrorist threat?
I ask: DO YOU WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO YOU????
Of course not.
Then kindly don’t give me any crap when I say I don’t want it to happen to ANYONE.
The Constitution doesn’t have any loopholes.
Please don’t make any.
