Do we have a "left wing censorship" thread?

[RiverguyVT]

It could grow as long as the one on Biden being nuts.

The gun activist guy that then tried to murder a mayoral candidate. Tweet about that, and you may get perma-banned.

The Twit will not tolerate dissension from left wing dogma.

Member when raising money for Kyle Rittenhouse's bail was a hate crime or something something?

Well, fortunately there is a community bail fund that is willing to pay to put this fine, upstanding citizen back out on the streets.

And there were also many folks (including a few on this board) that gave Kyle “hero” status.

Ain’t it funny who you pick to support based on your politics or ideology. Yeah, Kyle defended himself. But the kid never should have been there in the first place and a domino effect lead to tragedy that night. Propping him up as some sort of “hero” is not a good thing at all.

As far as this guy goes, he will be tried and convicted (unless he get the insanity spin).

Kyle may not be a "hero", but the difference in the left's responses for bail for someone accused of shooting people in the heat of the moment (claiming self defense) vs someone accused of attempting to assassinate a mayoral candidate is insane.

With Rittenhouse, there was zero risk to the community in having him out on bail. With this shooter, even assuming facts most favorable to him - that he just snapped mentally or something - the risk to the community is obvious.

The right making Kyle into some sort of hero was bizarre to say the least. Not to mention folks raising bail for the “political prisoners” of Jan. 6th.-

[hokie80]

Regarding “censorship”, I wish social media would simply not allow politics if any form on their platforms.

[hokie80]

One other thing that stands out on this….

Where are the gun control folks using this to scream about gun control?

Absolute silence from them.

Even Hillsville hasn’t posted on it

Why not? He is a free citizen and can do what he wants. In this case, he originally wanted to protect property from rioting anti-dRuMpF~! types.

That doesn't make him a "hero" (who called him that?) but it does make him a person of good intentions.

I wouldn't count on this current guy being convicted. He's on the correct side of the political divide.

How does your claim of “hero” status given to Kyle have anything to do with the bail issue? Dave’s point stands….in both of his posts.
There is a double standard, yet you have to somehow find a way to punch right.

Politics and ideology? This cherub was planning to assassinate a mayoral candidate. Kyle was NOT planning on shooting anyone. It doesn’t matter if you believe he shouldn’t have been there. He was. He had family(dad) in the local area. You are putting blame on him, when he had every right to be there. Some of the protestors there were from out of state. The guy who got his bicep blown off was from Illinois. Did he have a right to be there? Kyle had spent the day(and I believe previous) serving the community by cleaning up graffiti and picking up debris left from the riots.

Did you even watch the trial and understand the implications if he had been found guilty? The prosecution was overzealous, lied and even violated constitutional precedent. I’m not propping him up as a “hero”, but I’m damn glad he wasn’t convicted, and I cheered when the verdict was read.

And again…. 17 year old HS kids don’t need to be at this type of event and have a gun. Had common sense been used, he wouldn’t have been there and 3 people wouldn’t be dead. Yes… he used it in self defense. But it never should have happened in the first place.

So, you have the magic formula for all parents on how to raise their families? You should cash in on that magic skill.

He’s not a hero though and should not be viewed as one.

Doing so is a poor reflection on the right and frankly really isn’t about gun rights at all.

If anyone is cute 80, it’s you. Maybe some view him as a hero after the summer of love killed multiple people and caused almost $2B in damage. I can certainly understand that viewpoint.

He’s not a hero though and should not be viewed as one.

Doing so is a poor reflection on the right and frankly really isn’t about gun rights at all.

No doubt the left also used this to paint him in a racist light. And that was equally wrong as well.

The is no reason for the right to glorify his actions. None.

BS. It is absolutely about gun rights and one right to defend oneself.

Who is glorifying his actions? I think his actions were exactly what he needed to do and it was amazing how he handled himself under such circumstances. He managed to put an end to a physical threat(multiple) without injuring or killing bystanders,

Yay Kyle!

Kid never should have been there and the right glorifying him is disgusting at best.

And yes… they gave him hero status.

Yay rioters!

He had every right to be there.

Here is where you rinse and repeat and continue to punch right, because you believe it somehow gives you cred……

I guess pointing out the right’s failings in this regard is funny somehow to you.

You do this in 80% of threads. It’s hilarious.

How does your claim of “hero” status given to Kyle have anything to do with the bail issue? Dave’s point stands….in both of his posts.
There is a double standard, yet you have to somehow find a way to punch right.

Politics and ideology? This cherub was planning to shoot assassinate a mayoral candidate. Kyle was NOT planning on shooting anyone. It doesn’t matter if you believe he shouldn’t have been there. He was. He had family(dad) in the local area. You are putting blame on him, when he had every right to be there. Some of the protestors there were from out of state. The guy who got his bicep blown off was from Illinois. Did he have a right to be there? Kyle had spent the day(and I believe previous) serving the community by cleaning up graffiti and picking up debris left from the riots.

Did you even watch the trial and understand the implications if he had been found guilty? The prosecution was overzealous, lied and even violated constitutional precedent. I’m not propping him up as a “hero”, but I’m damn glad he wasn’t convicted, and I cheered when the verdict was read.

He was propped up as a hero by the right. Go back and look. I agreed with the verdict. But the right did give him hero status. A simple google search will show that.

And again…. 17 year old HS kids don’t need to be at this type of event and have a gun. Had common sense been used, he wouldn’t have been there and 3 people wouldn’t be dead. Yes… he used it in self defense. But it never should have happened in the first place.

Google search……good grief. As if Google can read the hearts and minds of every person who holds to conservative values and it applies to everyone who was invested in the outcome of this case.

And again, it doesn’t matter what you think. He WAS there. I’ve watched the trial. I’ve seen post trial interviews. I would trust the kid with a gun over some people I know who actually have them.

Denial looks so cute in you guys.

The right made him out to be a hero. He’s not a hero.

Not sure why y’all argue against that.

If anyone is cute 80, it’s you. Maybe some view him as a hero after the summer of love killed multiple people and caused almost $2B in damage. I can certainly understand that viewpoint.

And if we get another summer of love…….I’m betting you will see more people like Kyle standing up to protect their communities.

Vigilantism is never cute.

Self-defense does not make
Someone a hero.

17 year old kid should never be traveling to another state with a gun to be at a potential riot. Period.

This isn’t rocket science.

I’ll protect myself and my property if I have to. But I’m not going to deliberately travel to a conflict.

Offering the kid an internship in Congress after this?

Come on. Seriously.
