re: Why are both sides of the PoliBoard melting so hard right now?

your limited brain is what it is, it's like asking why you fail so hard every time you post,
you just do!

Are you saying there is a reasonable chance that the thug would have acted the same if these "leaders" didn't stir shite up? The mayor, president etc. know exactly what they are doing, and they know it is wrong.

That's what I'm saying in my post. Everyone has the right to free speech, but that individuals must take responsibility for the great power and responsibility that right comes with. Freedom of speech is a double-edged sword with no hilt. There is no truly safe way to hold it. We must cherish it, protect, but acknowledge that what we say is not without consequence in the public arena.

Just look at media figures who make racist comments. Sure, they are free to make them, but they are not free from ridicule.
Every other week there is some corporate executive in trouble for his insensitive remarks on social media. Do they not face scrutiny?
Do media figures no longer issue retractions for putting out incorrect information?

Well, there's your problem. The media no longer fact-checks the narrative so much as they dictate the narrative. The media does not report on the story, they want to be the story and shape it to make it their own. They don't hold politicians accountable, they hold their water for them.

Should they, both the media and political figures not be held accountable?

You're one of the more fun people here, Jagd. I'll give you that.

You're a real weirdo.

You know the fact that New York cops seem to think the mayor crossed the line is pretty telling. Awhole lot more than what any of us think. Im pretty certain they have cause.

Telling of what? You think the NYPD is the first police department (or organization in general) to respond defensively and negatively to scrutiny or criticism?

That's pretty fricking rich.

I'm not going to even touch that non sequitur. My statement speaks for itself, either you believe in free speech or you don't. Which camp or you in?

Pretty rich? You sir think you know it all, when in reality you don't know shite. But hey, keep posting because your one of my favorite dumb asses on here.
