Another Fresno State instructor has run afoul of conservatives, this time for social media posts that wish for President Trump to die

I often thought it would be better for the country if Biden stroked out, but then I remembered Kamala Harris was right in back of him and regretted the thought.
Not terrorism. But this is all they have these days on the Left.
Wishing and Dreaming of something is not an act.
Maximum Liberty. Free speech for all.
Let them speak and reveal themselves.
Now, if one were to say “I will . . . XYZ”, or “I’m gonna . . . XYZ”, or “You all should . . . XYZ”, that would be something different.
Democrats are terrorists.
And traitors.
In fact, they’re demons sent from hell itself.
If all he is doing is wishing, that is not a crime — except on X.
Actually calling on someone to DO SOMETHING is incitement.
Words are important. Twisting and corrupting them is a commie trash trick.
Harris was assassination insurance during Biden’s term. But Biden was assassination insurance during Obama’s term.
I guess “run afoul of conservatives” has replaced “Republicans pounce.”
I know I should probably laugh at that observation, but I think it’s absolutely true!
She teaches “activist anthropology”?
Hell, I’m sure there are no qualifications for that.
“”“I have a dream for this to happen much sooner rather than later,” Shurik writes. She adds a number of hashtags, including “#DieTrump” and #TrumpDead.””
She looks like a witch. May all of the evil “wishes” these cretins have fall back on them, instead, a thousand fold.
Besides Harris, can you imagine what the dems would have done with his funeral? They would try to outdo Kennedy’s elevation to political sainthood. We’d have schools, airports, space centers named after him as well as seeing his mug on our money.
LOL, no conservative I have ever known wished for anything to happen to any Leftist in office, they would name aircraft carriers, buildings, highways, elementary schools, post offices, you name it, after the person, and you would have to view it for the rest of your life!
Leftists don’t view it that way, which explains their behavior!

Tad seems a Tad happy and cheerful and g..?
Speaking about such things in a public forum is an act.
Very specifically, it is an act of solicitation. Everybody understands this at some intuitive level.
There is a very wide and fuzzy line between wishful thinking and a direct request for an unlawful action by "somebody else". A reasonable person will stay well clear of saying "I want somebody else to do XYZ", or "I hope somebody else will do XYZ", or even "I hope XYZ happens". That is assuming "XYZ" is something illegal or immoral.
There are a lot of unreasonable people out there. And there are way too many "somebody else" people who will take the broadcast suggestions of unreasonable people as orders or permissions to act. No direct connection or conspiracy is required. Only shared attitudes and beliefs. That is the problem of "stochastic terrorism".
This Fresno instructor is pushing boundaries. I would have him fired for that. His rights to free speech do not guarantee his job and his stated opinions reflect badly on his employer. Instructors should be "non-partisan", professional, and politically neutral in their public images. They absolutely should not be advocating harm to public officials.
To be sure, he has not committed a crime as yet and deserves no punishment from government.
The Leftists have been quick to "cancel" opponents who hold opinions that conflict with theirs. That includes at-will firings in numerous cases. We should do the same to them.
"Tit-for-Tat" is the only reasonable strategy when dealing with opponents who cheat at whatever the rules of a game may be. The only other possibility is to eject them from the game altogether.
No, we are not "better than that". We must show our presumed moral superiorities in very different ways and strive constantly to live up to them.
That is the reporter’s picture. Not sure why it is displayed so prominently.
