Columbus teen shot by police

[volbeast33]

More white people are killed by police that black people are, LeBron must be ok with that.

Nobody realizes that bc it is not played out over and over again on social media.

I think I saw that one posted here yesterday. I took the "you're next" as youre the next cop to get found guilty of murder (like Chauvin). Was there something more sinister in play?

Putting the cops identity out there invites retaliatory strikes.

Freaking Free Masons run the country. Errybody knows that.

I know a few Masons, if they're running the country it explains a lot.

I'm still developing my Canada invasion platform. Once I iron out the kinks, I'm filing the paperwork.

You have my vote.

I think a good rule of thumb is to never dox anyone for any reason. Lebron's intent may have been relatively innocuous. But no one controls how his words will be perceived, and it's simply irresponsible to blast the man's picture out with any kind of threat attached.

I disagree it was a threat, intent to threat, or meant to incite others to take aggressive action. Possibly poorly chosen wording but that's the extent of it for me.

He did suck at it, no doubt. He sucked at everything

Except pissing the Democrats and media dimwits off, at this he was very good.

You wanting to go vanilla with your invasion, then?

 

[Weezer]

Good point. We have 3 branches for a reason. Very refreshing after 4 years of hero worship and a desire for authoritarian rule

At least you don't hide the fact you're in no way objective.

He'll never admit that it was a mistake to tweet it, but he clearly knows (or someone in his camp tapped him on the shoulder) it was stupid and he shouldn't have done it.

most likely.

for me the issue here is that how these statements get perceived is highly correlated to one's political persuasion. few have a consistent viewpoint and as a result see two similar statements in very different ways.

We are putting a lot of hand wringing into what might happen. If someone reads Lebron's tweet and does something stupid, that's on that person; not on Lebron.

Not for some time. That, or they just completely abandoned what the Founding Fathers believed in.

Such a necessary characteristic for a potus. He was basically an internet troll

Even without a threat attached. No reason to reveal the man's identity. Let the legal system do what it's supposed to do.

From a legal point of view, I absolutely agree with that. But when you have a large platform there is a moral imperative to use it responsibly.

You never struck me as a "This is Sparta...300" kind of guy

It's going to happen eventually and I'm getting old. Let's just get the fight over with so we can get to the beer afterwards

That's one. How many more do I need?

 

[allvol123]

I don't think it gives us an accurate depiction of who people really are. It's a funhouse mirror that gives us a distorted picture of who people are. In no way do I think we get an accurate picture. How could you from random thoughts with character restrictions?

I think it paints a pretty accurate picture of the person posting.

Take LJ for example, what of his posts would make you think he isnt the person that the posts would make him out to be?

Kind descriptor. Don't mistake my posts as defense. The country needs good people at the helm. Do you think we have them at the present? Do you think we improved last election?

yup, I am not phony

I think we've been in trouble for decades. Trump was so bad he made Biden possible

Why even put the cop's identity out there? It's not his responsibility to do so. Let the legal system work. The world, and the crazies of the world, don't need to know his identity. It served no other purpose than to incite. It was a poor decision made in haste, which is what Twitter allows people to do. The fact he removed the Tweet leads me to believe LeBron realized it was a mistake. But by then, the damage has been done. Which leads me back to my complaint that the real problem is Twitter itself. People post things with little to no thought. That's dangerous, IMO.

Shock and awesome.

That's a non-starter for many, because they see it as being racist and rigged against them.
