Its hilarious when #minorities & #poc's imply that white people criticizing them is "punching down."
These are the only people implying that they are "beneath them..." while screeching that everyone *else* is racist.
Being born white doesn't put me above you, you racist.
@DaleHammers3@OmarXtheCat@Imamofpeace Yeah the corruption of our system always becomes evident when a politician commits a crime and nothing is done about it. Hillary committed several, it was well known and well documented with solid evidence and yet no conviction was made.
@PhillyD Because I'll tell you all of the shit that makes people hate/dislike you in an honest and constructive way, which will inevitably grow your platform and audience.
@DaleHammers3@OmarXtheCat@Imamofpeace If someone is, say, attempting a coup or aiding/abetting terrorism, I might be more inclined to agree. "Treason" tends to be used very broadly, however. For example, leftists claiming that the "Trump/Russia collusion" nonsense was treason.
@DaleHammers3@OmarXtheCat@Imamofpeace Yeah, I agree with you there. I have little sympathy for people like Omar. Also, I misspoke when I said "violence is *never* the answer," as I do think violence as a form of self-defense and capital punishment are both justified. That said, I think treason laws need to be highly
@DaleHammers3@OmarXtheCat@Imamofpeace And honestly? I'm inclined to agree with him in that the type of behavior he's calling out isn't needed/that those people are part of the problem.
@DaleHammers3@OmarXtheCat@Imamofpeace Yeah, but I think the Tweet we are replying to is more of a narrative on the type of toxic behavior that isn't needed rather than a stance as to the laws & their punishments. I think the people lusting after her death/saying shit like "hang the traitor!" are who he's addressing.
@PDP00000001@realDonaldTrump Can't help but laugh at those who think that every picture used by news orgs are live from the event itself. The vast majority are stock photos.
@DaleHammers3@OmarXtheCat@Imamofpeace Calling for a fair trial and demanding the charges not be ignored are just fine, even if the punishment is ruled as execution. My criticism, and the original Tweets criticisms, are directed at those calling for death and/or hanging.
We all need to treasure the things that bring us together as a nation, as a people. Collectively hating on this Peloton ad is that thing. https://t.co/UQtUU4CCQt
@BasedChino@Imamofpeace And law or not, the punishment needs to fit the crime and some punishments are dated or heavily dependent on the specifics. How many child rapists and murderers get off after 30-40 years in prison? Would you classify what Omar did as worse than these things?
@NoSteppy1776@Imamofpeace If you oppose groups like Antifa, be above their reactionary/emotionally charged behavior. If someone claimed Trump committed treason the first thing they'd do is call for his head. Why stoop to that level when you can let cooler heads prevail. Just makes you look bad.
@NoSteppy1776@Imamofpeace & for the record I'd agree with life in prison without parole. A judge would probably rule this in this specific scenario. I still don't think we should be calling for people's heads before some kind of conviction is made. The mere act of doing so is violent & disgraceful.
@NoSteppy1776@Imamofpeace Thats silly. Killing IS violence. That doesn't mean it is unjustified but it's still violence. Crimes like treason in certain circumstances indeed need to be met with capital punishment -- but remember, you're calling for the death of someone who's been proven guilty of no crime.
@ThePolanco4Real You sound like Antifa calling for Trump's execution bEcAUSE tReASON
Innocent until proven guilty, & if shes truly guilty of high treason let a judge decide what happens. In the meantime, acting like you have a hardon for someones execution just makes you look like a simpleton
@ThePolanco4Real Also, what a stupid assumption. Of course the leader of ISIS deserved to die. He's slaughtered countless people. I fail to see the comparison between calling for the death of the leader of ISIS and calling for the death of someone who hasn't even been convicted of a crime yet.
@DaleHammers3@OmarXtheCat@Imamofpeace Derp, of course she isn't. But until she's found guilty of said crimes, maybe we could tone down the calls for hanging. Just saying... it makes you guys look a little bit unhinged and reminds me of Antifa scum.
