    Reminding everyone of Rule 6:

    1. Glorifying Violence:
      Do not advocate or encourage violence either seriously or jokingly. Do not glorify oppressive/autocratic regimes.

    This rule will be enforced. We don’t condone violence.

    We can condemn it and still laugh our asses off at the irony of that a convicted felon who advocates for the proliferation of firearm usage and told school shooting victims to “get over it” just got shot at and is going to whine and bitch about it for the rest of his conscious existence.

    Wow, I’m really curious about what part of “Don’t tell me what to do” warranted a comment removal.

      Rule 6 is being strictly enforced because there was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump that left two people dead and two more in critical condition. This is a condemnable act.

      “Don’t tell me what to do” in response to an article about condemning the act, was interpreted as condoning the assassination attempt and was therefore removed.

        The condemnable act is trying ushering in a fascist regime, complete with a playbook calling for internment of gays. That’s condemnable, fighting back against a potential oppressor isn’t

        TIL that “failing to condemn” is the same as “condoning.” (Narrator: It’s not.)

          Careful, now. Don’t want to get caught not doing the requisite amount of performative hand wringing. Might get banned.

    No I don’t think I will. This was the logical conclusion to spouting hate-filled violence-promoting rhetoric for the last 20 years
