While I agree the concept of criminalizing hate speech is troubling, and I don't think it should be, but free speech shouldn't be a free pass to be intentionally rude and inconsiderate. You know, as a Christian nation, after all, we should strive more to live by the Golden Rule, don't you think...

Puhleeze. People who don't like Muslims have found the Islamic Reaction Button, trolling to achieve predictable and desired results, and they're gonna keep pressing that button. Drawing a cartoon became hate speech the moment people started doing it to specifically to anger Muslims. Free...

That they disproportionately commit violent crime is a conclusion not supported by facts. Poor whites and poor blacks commit violent crimes at the sane rate, actually. And no, I'm not among those who think racist white cops think it's open season on blacks, I'm simply one that can view what's...

Yeah, carriage returns.

Islam shouldn't be and isn't a sacred cow and killing someone over a cartoon is indeed beyond the incredible, but by the same token, why intentionally incite anyone with hate speech wrapped in the façade of free speech? It's rude and inconsiderate, at the very least.

Blacks are certainly far more likely to be charged with resisting arrest, that's for sure. That doesn't mean they actually resisted. Since you're firmly a part of that 70% it's pretty evident what your opinion is on that one, though. I left out almost everything about the numbers I gave. I gave...

An unarmed source and an unsubstantiated report, from Fox News. Yeah, I'll laugh, too.

I think what he's trying to say is, in conversation, particularly abstract hypotheticals, people can talk a good game, but in situations where you actually have to take a life, it's not as easy in the moment as it sounds.

LOL shazam that's not what they did at all. The police didn't stand down, they made arrests and tried to control the rioting crowd as best they could. No you didn't. You saw officers in full riot gear with loaded weapons and holding shields throwing rocks at rioters. If they were doing that in...

I wouldn't call it a blatant lie, but it certainly wasn't an honest mistake, either. It was breathtakingly amateurish journalism in an effort to claim a scoop. It was recklessly reporting potentially incendiary events without even attempting to obtain confirmation. It's ironic that it would...

Well, the mayor never said that. She said "we gave" not "we give." Her statement was past tense, after the fact, and therefore could not have been a signal to the rioters. Since you're all about context and full quotes, I offer this link which contains both, knowing full well that after reading...

Since you know they are going to riot that day regardless, I'll ask you again, why do you think they were rioting? What were the factors that led to it? People don't riot for no reason. #Ihaven'tmadeanyexcuses Also, in say, the last 50 years, how many police officers have been killed during a...

Well, which is it? Did they protect, or did they interfere? And the credible threat turned out to be not credible. Kinda like the illegal switchblade the dead guy was arrested for.

Where, exactly, was this violence supposed to occur, and where, exactly, did the police detain these school children?

If that's true, then the police directly caused the rioting by their interference. So your use of "entirely" isn't merely playing fast and loose, but rather is entirely incorrect.

Why do you think they were rioting? What were the factors that led to it?

Playing fast and lose with "entirely" there.
