Seriously Drayke ? He should be equally condemned and haunted by justice like say the folks who pulled in the policeman into the crowd of rioters and KILLED him ? Equally so ? It's only fair when it's on the same priority standard ? Now we have gotten to a point where I no longer wish to debate you.

No. He should be charged with EXACTLY what I posted in the first post you responded to; 'knowingly entering a restricted building' (perhaps you should go back and read that post as you clearly just skimmed over it). That is to say, equally charged along with those others for THAT specific charge. Just like all the other right wing people who are charged with that specific same conviction that also didn't kill the policeman. Why is that so hard to understand from what I said. Why are you continually trying to make it seem I am saying something different to what I have already written in black and white? Please read an entire post and in context before posting and you may, just may alleviate the last 10 posts between us of me trying to say one thing and you claiming I said another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the RIGHT CAN BE accused of this, the LEFT SHOULD BE accused of it as well, but only if it is deserved, whereby in this case of trespassing it is. You cannot have one person doing the same thing someone else does and not be treated or punished equally for it. In this case trespassing. Forget about the whole left vs right issue. Treat it as 2 normal people people trespassing into a restricted area and only one gets punished for it. It would be an injustice. Just because one is right and one is left makes no difference to the issue. The problem comes now however in that there is such division between those two that if they are not treated equally for doing the same act it will harden and draw out that division, cause angst and potentially be disastrous for the USA's reputation and democracy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is more than fair to compare the BLM riots to the riots at the Capitol. Both saw a break down of law and order, both caused untold damage, grief and distress. Both seemed like acts of terror in the eyes of the other side. Both were fighting for causes they felt were righteous and just. And both were wrong. Well, the Proud Boys were involved. And it is completely wrong -- again, I hope merely rhetoric -- to draw an equivalence between BLM events of the summer and last week's Capitol insurrection. At no time did anybody involved with BLM so much as suggest overthrowing the constitutionally elected government of the United States, which was the entire purpose of the attack on the Capitol. Nor did BLM protestors have a stated goal of slaughter, as did the insurgents at the Capitol. "DEFUND THE POLICE," though an unfortunate shorthand slogan, is in no way comparable to "KILL MIKE PENCE."

ildiko Evergarden Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Let me just say this. Second life ( As far as I know) is a private company not owned by the government. That means just like twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube. They have a right to remove any speech that incites violence and or racial discrimination.. However, they aren't patrol guards on surveillance watching what every resident or group does 24/7. It is up to the residents to mute,ban,eject, report any speech that incites violence. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you think there shouldn't be a death penalty, tell that to the family of the woman that monster strangled to death and whose body she cut her baby from. We need more death penalty. Some people are monsters and cannot be fixed . They should not linger after being convicted of heinous crimes. I will admit that my view on this may be biased as I have experienced a homicide in my own family some years ago. The monster who committed the act did not receive the death penalty and it's really a shame, he should have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is what you learn after you know it all that is important. When a readily available medicine has been proven to be able to flatten the covid 19 death curve, then there is something grossly wrong with your "science" when you continue to promote the idea that only an expensive and mostly unproven vaccine is the only salvation. 100,000's of thousands of unnecessary deaths because you don't like the political figure who first mentioned it. Yay you. Let me summarise your breathtaking enlightment. You basically say that every government on the planet, every "mainstream" scientist on the planet as well as the the "left" and whomever you dislike has the intention to let 100,000´s of thousand people die unnecessarily? Really? Why should they do that? Explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet Voxel Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Can we just get the elephant in the room out of the way here? "I'm not an American, but...." is saying "I'm a right winger similar to a Trumpist in my country and I feel...." in this context. It's not magical debate armour. Comparing a D list celebrity holding an effigy to insurrectionists is ridiculous. Comparing a 60+ year old singer saying "I'd blow up the white house" is not the same as actually putting pipe bombs in a government building. That is the difference between free speech (free speech some were vehemently defending the first couple of pages) and crossing the line into treason. Right wingers gon' right wing, no matter what country they're are in. Trump incited an attempted coup, it looked ridiculous, it failed, many of participants are going to jail, and Trump is getting impeached today...again and most likely will face criminal and civil charges. No amount of rhetoric is going to change that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
