An editor at the website Vox, in his outrage against Donald Trump, has declared that it is acceptable to destroy things and be as disruptive as possible in the pursuit of political goals.
In the aftermath of Trumps visit to San Jose, which attracted many protesters and eventually resulted in a riot, many observers were quick to condemn violence for political ends.
Emmett Rensin wasnt one of those people.
Instead, he said that in the right circumstances, it is perfectly justifiable to destroy property, disrupt events, and otherwise derail democracy, as long as one doesnt kill people (Rensin notably identifies as a pacifist):
Rensin, who also authored an April Vox piece denouncing the Smug style of American liberalism, mocked Trump critics in the media for hyping up the dangers of Trump and then being repulsed by violence against Trump supporters.
For what its worth, Vox Media has a pretty nice office in New York. It also has a smaller office in Washington D.C. If somebody wanted to negotiate the destruction of Rensins property, it probably wouldnt be difficult:
That whole left wing liberal media is just plain sick. I’d like to see them try it in cities where there’s open carry allowed.
Yes, someone should dox him and publish his home address.
And his and his wife’s license plates.
I want to know exactly how committed he is to his ideals.
Without the cartoons.

Emmett Rensin
BIO
Emmett Rensin was born in 1990. He is a sophomore at the University of Chicago, before which he attended the finest parochial school in all of Los Angeles. A Huffington Post contributor and ordained reverend, and unable to his shoelaces at the tender age of sixteen, he gave it all up to pursue his true dream: putting stickers on books. This he did with care and devotion for many long hours, ensuring that every book in the reference library of the world-renowned Museum of Jurassic Technology at which he was employed had its lovely laminated ascension number neatly stuck upon its spine. He emerged from this a brighter and more worldly man. Rensin contributes to the University of Chicagos Chicago Maroon as well as the Huffington Post but takes care to balance his stresses with the relaxing arts of coat collection and Richard Nixon enthusiasm. Such balance is necessary, as extremity might cause Rensins untimely death and prevent him from accomplishing his three life goals: penning the Great American Novel, mastery of card magic, and telling the perfect shaggy-dog joke.
It is way past for these cretins to suffer the consequences of their ideas — perhaps a group of angry conservatives should burn his house down and see how he likes it.
