Mentioning bringing in the national guard and then the looting-shooting bit in the same tweet, is a clear sign of inciting violence. How is it not? In fact Trump later walked back his tweet and said he meant shooting ‘leads’ to shooting. Forget left/right, can you not read his walk back? The fact that Twitter blocked his tweet (and not others of others people) is still secondary/irrelevant to the fact the man is inciting violence.

How do any of you justify that? Are you condoning shooting of looters? What am I missing? I would like to hear without judging or going AOC on you (I’m not a liberal FYI).

I see no problem with it. If you come in my house and loot you will exit with at least 3 extra holes in a body bag.

fricking YES. Looting isn't protesting, it's looting.

Used to be a time when it was understood that looters would be shot on sight.

He didn’t walk back the tweet

He explained it

Many of us interpreted it correctly the first time


The phrase “when looting starts shooting starts” goes back to 1968 Miami where local leaders there implored people not to riot because it would escalate the situation

So you want to get a gun and take down a entire Target/Walmart? You don’t think the President encouraging such a thing is wrong?

Not arguing looting is terrible, but really gun them down?

It meant, when the looting starts, the owners of businesses will start shooting, to stop the looting. It's a warning about what generally happens.

Where are you dumb motherfrickers coming from?

Is there an entry we left open? Is there rift in the internet you’re sneaking in? A vortex?

He didn’t condone shooting people, you freaking idiot! He meant that looters might be shot by the people they’re looting! He didn’t walk back his message, he tried to explain it better for the morons!
