“ when the looting starts the shooting starts “ Donald J Trump

Even though the meaning behind the quote has been cleared up . Yes if it’s a matter of life or death or protection of private property. I do condone lethal force. In the state of Kentucky (and I’m sure many others )under Castle doctrine the use of deadly force is allowed to protect property .

Cool. Cool. Like in the Ahmed Arbery case, right...?

I starred your reply to me that you deleted. Now, I'm really curious...

Might not want to fling that moderator insult around too hard without being sure of yourself.

ATS can and will remove a post that is a direct threat of physical harm (level of gratuitousness may include removal of the account as well). Both those sorts of things have happened numerous times. We tend to take such things seriously.

At 280 characters per Tweet, hard to get out a manifesto (unlike here) which is also something that will be removed as well (more than likely the account as well).

Would Trump’s Tweet be removed by ATS...possibly, but most likely not simply for being identified as a threat. Greater chance of removal for racism, actually.

Just so you know, because knowing is half the battle...

I know you don't have the stomach for it but without the rule of law enforced all of society would crumble fairly swiftly.

How's Covid=19 lockdown going within the United States these past 72 hours...?

Btw, it looks as if American society is crumbling AS the rule of law is being enforced...

Btw, please define "Rule of Law". In what context are you referring to...?

I don't like killing but somebody has to do it when the rule of law starts to crumble.

Do you realize how F#''d up that sounds. What the hell is in the water down there...?!?!

It's very easy to sit on a computer and watch this unfold in safety.

Maybe I should apply for a green card to the States for a front row seat then...?

Your last statement reminded me how grateful I should be...

1. I did NOT *threaten* him. Please quote my words...

2. I did NOT insult him. Please quote my words...

AGAIN...

Dude...I simply pointed out:

A) He was wrong about conflating moderating with imposing opinion.

B) The irony of a moderator not recognizing how hypocritical his words were.

just so you know, because knowing is half the battle...

What's the other half...?

ETA: I just realized I misunderstood your reply. But I will keep this posted...

I love, Bill Hicks. May he rest in bliss.

Any words of your own...?

As usual some a$$hat asks the wrong question to the wrong people.

Who were "the people" I asked...?

Btw, what's with the name calling...? Let's have some intellectual discourse without being emotional...yeah?

How about asking the rioters and looters "Is doing this worth getting shot over"?

That's an ironic request when the following is weighed.

My most recent post on ATS a few minutes ago:

www.abovetopsecret.com...

While we are at it, let me ask a few questions.

Why does it always take three or four days for the riots and looting to start?

Do you think it might be that it takes that much time for certain people to get there and plan it out?

Target stores usually have a pharmacy with narcotics, Viagra, glucose meters and strips. They also sell diapers, baby formula and laundry detergent. I'm not even going to mention the electronics, cameras and DVD's. All untraceable and easily converted to cash. No it couldn't be a planned operation like Baltimore a few years ago, could it?

Didn't your own congress people loot MILLIONS just weeks ago...?

a reply to: hombero

As a fellow Canadian, I wonder why you are so rabidly engaging in a argument over policies from another country as if they are happening in your precious "6ix". It might be easier on your nerves to just watch some raps reruns and drake music videos and fall in line again...

What *policies* did I engage in debate within this thread.....?


Also, I have a home there. I have other properties there. I do business there (along within the U.K & Netherlands). I pay a s#tload of taxes to Uncle Sam. I have friends there. I have vested personal interest in the United States. I want to know how MY TAX DOLLARS are being spent...there.

Also, I won't go into it, but I have been around the globe and witnessed FIRST HAND the effects of American Imperialism and how it destroys the currency of life for ordinary people.


On a side note that semi-relates to your response:


So, especially when I read an American express something ignorant throughout this site concerning geopolitics using propaganda talking points , I will address it. Deny ignorance

...so rabidly engaging

Again: I have seen FIRST HAND the destruction and EFFECTS...of that American mindset.

Denying Ignorance. What's the problem...?

Btw, I'm not on here everyday...

Now that’s a stupid reply.

It also shows you don’t have a clue as to what I’m talking about .

a reply to: Involutionist

Yeah. If it was discussion of your post in a punitive way it would have been a private conversation. Airing dirty laundry makes drama and makes it worse. Saying to be sure you what you are taking about before slagging staff in my quirky roundabout and nice way, because this is how it would probably go down if we had to moderate his tweet, is by no means punitive and is informative to everyone.

You felt a little slighted, but trust me you wasn’t.

a reply to: Fallingdown

Looks like when the looting starts Trump hides in bunkers, nevermind shooting.
