    The title and subject of this thread is a lie. Regardless, if true, Trump is not responsible.

    The division in thus Country startedvunder Obama, period.

    Why does the right need to apologize for that?

    Do you make all black folks apologize for every drive by murder, or ever muslim apologize for any terrorist attack? Why is the whole right responsible for an individual but the same standards arent held for everyone else?

    Did you apologize for the psycho lefty that went and tried to assassinate politicians while they were at softball practice? Definitely not lol.

    You're speaking as if false flag ops against trump weren't becoming increasingly common among far left whack jobs.

    that was my point, the right doesn't have to apologize, and the left doesn't have to apologize, glad you got the point even though you missed it in my post?

    I disagree, trying to cause fear in an entire race rise above simple graffiti

    if one only targets white people for the knock out game... it's a hate crime imo

    all hate crimes means is if found guilty of the crime, you get a mandatory 5 years added on

    The black man who burned Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church in Greenville, MS, and painted "Vote Trump" on it has recently pleaded guilty. Andrew McClinton was a member of the church he burned.

    I have a very strong standard for freedom of speech. If the speech would be legally permissible without the initial crime (ie: if you just yelled "Vote Trump" or whatever the speech in question happens to be), then thete should be no additional penalty for saying it in the commission of a crime.

    I oppose all hate speech and hate crime laws on principle, without exception.

    No he's speaking like someone who doesn't have a political agenda.

    You CNN sheep are just desperate for any connection to Trump on anything like this.

    graffiti is not freedom of speak, it's a crime, the level of crime depends on the intent and message

    if you say Bomb ob a plane, much different then saying banana on a plane... words matter

    hate crime laws are needed or racist could paint 'n-word get out' on every new black person moving in and it would just be a little crime, not the bigger crime it really is

    Standing up in a flight and spray painting "I have a bomb" all over the plane is threat of imminent lawless action.

    Spray painting "******s get out" on a city wall is not in any way a threat of imminent lawless action.

    This is my problem with hate speech. It uses the criminal behaviour of the perp to prejudice people into using lax the standards on the speech.

    Asset forefeiture law does much the same thing. You caught an undersized fish in a marine park therefore people can be convinced it is acceptable to confiscate the car, the house, etc.

    Your rights do not disappear because you've done a criminal act.

    one is trying to cause fear in an entire race, sad you can't see that

    maybe we should classify it as a terrorist act as that is what it really is

    intent matters

    You're speaking like your speculation about this being a fake hate crime MAKES IT a fake hate crime.

    Perhaps your mind is already made up, and there is no reasonable discussion to be had with you.

    Speech which causes fear is still permissible so long as it does not threaten imminent lawless action. This is why Communists can legally advocate for a violent overthrow of the 1% at some point in the future, but cannot stand up in a crowd and incite a riot.

    Saying "******s get out" doesn't even come close, graffiti or not.

    You bumped a thread that wasn't posted in for 27 months to post THAT?:roflol:

    Definitely a test case for why PF needs a rule against NECROing these Ancient Threads.

    I've been at forums where bumping threads this old was a bannable offense.

    Anyway, (and on topic) it is too bad that the church got torched.

    I understand why you would take this personally. You've had a lot of 2016 prediction posts that were bumped and reposted. Your 2016 arrogance made you look ridiculous, and in fact you vanished from the forum for months to hide your shame. So being so wrong, and having your worldview totally upended, took a real toll on you.

    I get that.

    But no, I don't want any sort of rule to prevent people from being responsible for their own words. Ronstar made a bet, and he should at least admit he, and his worldview, were wrong and donate that 10 bucks to the forum. I also make a lot of predictions on this forum. Some are right and some are wrong. In fact, I post new years threads on my predictions and go back to them at the end of the year to check how I did. If I get some predictions wrong, I want to know why, not run from them as you did. So if you would like to resurrect old threads in which I've made totally incorrect and wrong predictions, you're welcome to do it. I would like to see where I got it wrong.

    And as a reminder, from your pre-2016 election high:

    But you were NOT there! You ran away....
