@MeghanEMurphy Donald Trump's supporters started killing police officers the last time he lost the democratic vote. Huge parts of the conservative movement refuse to see anything wrong with this. Anyone who speaks out against it is ostracized from The Party. This is your bastion of democracy?

Attention progressives: If you are allowed to criticize, mock, and protest your government without being jailed or executed, you do not live in a fascist country or a dictatorship. America is a democracy, as evidenced by the fact that your preferred candidate lost the presidential election. Trump won because... people voted for him! Despite every effort to literally off him. Isn't it nice to know democracy still exists in your country, despite your and your preferred party's best efforts to stop it? You know what isn't a democracy? Palestine. Iran. Egypt. Afghanistan. Saudi Arabia. Many other countries around the world. You are very lucky to live in America! That's why everyone keeps trying to cross the border to come into your country! Because authoritarianism is terrible. It really sucks to be murdered because you don't ascribe to things like Islam :( It really sucks to live under communism. When people say things like "Islam is bad." This is why. Islam=authoritarianism. You will be jailed or executed for political/religious dissent. You obsess over Trump and iSrAeL as though they are the enemy despite being liberal democracies, while dutifully spreading Islamist propaganda across social media, imagining yourselves to be virtuous and well-informed. You advocate for communist regimes while those living under communist regimes are desperate to escape. But you are neither virtuous nor well-informed. You are dangerously stupid. To be clear, you can and should criticize whatever you want to criticize. But doing that while doing the work of tyrannical, barbarian, dictatorships that would kill you in a moment for speaking out against their regime if they could is insane.

@memeticsisyphus "Yes freedom of speech means freedom from being arrested for what you say." Unless of course it's speech you don't like, in which case the person should be exiled.

“American is when you hate America. Because it’s creedal or something…”

@tracewoodgrains The name of the officer suggests an even more horrific conclusion. The "PC gone mad" explanation for Rotherham has never made sense (no amount of political correctness would make you ignore the rape of children), however a "protecting our own" explanation does make sense.

one of the most horrific news articles I have ever read it’s not that it’s a surprise. it’s that it’s not a surprise
