If there were individual posts advocating cop killing, then they could easily have been pulled.

There wasn't, not a single post. The closest anyone had come to anything that could even be slightly construed as a possible "cop killing might be okay" message were the people that said they were sorry to see both the nut and the officer dead.

Bull. There were posts that clearly insinuated that the shooting may have been justified. And posts that agreed with the position of the guy who shot the cop, that there was no Constitutional authority for a traffic stop, when that is bullcrap.

Most of the time, I am proud to call myself a member of this forum. But the occasional day rolls around when some of the people on this site make me sick. This is one of those days...

I agree that no posts advocated cop killing on the other thread. I do think, though, that the name "Mumia" could have easily been subsituted for the suspect's name in some of the posts that were the most sympathetic to the alleged "patriot".

Then you hadn't read the posts very carefully. One poster declared that a mere traffic stop is a constitutional crisis. Others were speculating on some conspiracy to murder the driver because he was a nuisance to local governments.
