My thought: Sure, the comments are despicable, but they are also protected by our 1st Amendment. (The line of course is inciting more violence.)

But we won’t be happy when the left is back in power and turns mass firings around on conservatives who express views unpopular with the powers that be.

Celebrating murder is not free speech

It is Incitement to violence, which is illegal in virtually every jurisdiction.

The Left has been firing, excluding, and vilifying White men , conservatives, and Christians for years. To Hell with them.

Hey Scooter! That happened back in the Covid days.

Pay attention.

The vast majority of the corrosive rhetoric I’ve seen from leftists in the last 48 hours comes from people working in three fields: (1) education, (2) media, and (3) health care.

There’s a reason for this. These fields have very few conservatives working in them, and they’re also areas of work where failure has no real consequences.

The 1st Amendment prevents the government from scantioning free speech and it describes what it includes. What private companies do is another thing. I suggest you go to work and openly critize your boss. You will be fired before the day’s end.

Inside of government, there is no free speech. You try it and you will get fired quickly.

Isn’t that what they’ve been doing for the last couple of decades, and we’ve simply knuckled under and took it?

About time we gave them a taste of their own medicine!

/. So...is the solution to cower in fear over that the left will do what the left already does to us ?

And do nothing ?

If they get back in power, we'll all end up at a re-education camp.
