Well you could take my word for it because I'm typically a fairly honest person except when I'm playing poker!

They haven't committed any crime, and are protected by their freedom to express themselves how they see fit. Poor taste isn't a sign of any criminal element or an intent to commit crimes.
Either way, how is an effigy a threat?

I didn't opine one way or another but since you asked, I don't believe destroying effigies of politicians to be a threat anymore than I do the video that was the subject of the race baiting crap from sleazy Mark Dice that has found it's way onto ATS.

It is my opinion that the video in question is not rap music. It is group chanting mixed with piss poor generic loops.
It is an absolute outrage what passes for rap music these says. They should be arrested for offending my musical tastes.
That's actually not true it is a criminal offence for anyone to threaten to kill or harm a person.The maximum penalty for threatening death or bodily harm is five years imprisonment. So Indeed it is a crime will it be prosecuted I doubt it.

You hung an effigy of Mark Dice? What is going on here!??! Mark Dice might be a race pimping P.o.S but that's no reason to hang an effigy of the guy! (okay, maybe it is)
Though, it is your right to do so if you so desire!

I love how before Obama, racism didn't seem to exist in any shape or form.
Are you drinking or under the influence of some other mind altering substance?
Everything you just said, is NOTHING or has NOTHING to do with my replies to you!

So are we talking about Mark Dice now? I'm confused??????

This thread is essentially based on Mark Dice's egregious slant.

Mark Dice is so foolish lol, first of all he sounds incredibly racist in his breakdown of the video, I stopped watching after "let me break down this ghetto speak" within the first minutes. Second of all, this # happens literally every single day. I would bet all my money that Donald Trump receives indirect death threats in hip hop music every week if not every day; there's millions of people making rap songs just like these dudes, and they definitely aren't concerned about what trouble they may bring or what Mark Dice thinks of their actions. People talk loosely about death threats even in mainstream hip hop, i'd say 98% of it is for image purposes and that's why nobody takes these things seriously (but Mark Dice)
As far as this specific song goes, they don't even threaten him once in the song. They use a popular Rick Ross chorus "i got a chopper in the car, *RUUH*" and they replace car with trunk to make it rhyme with Trump. If that's a death threat then Mark Dice is soft as butter. The song's actually really funny down to the beat, it sounds like a Dave Chappelle skit
