It’s 2023, if you’re still making and supporting anti-gay laws, you deserve to be sent to some little gay free island in the middle of the ocean where you can no-homo high five all your totally straight bros right into your old age, never have to deal with the big scary gay world outside ever again.
Freedom of speech, not freedom from the consequences of said speech. It’s explicitly illegal to do what this smoothbrain did.
He wasn’t killed for saying anything. Sounds like this mouthbreather decided to suicide by cop when they confronted him. I’m no fan of cops, but FAFO in this case
Also if the consequences of “free speech” is being summarily executed or jailed, that isn’t really free speech is it? Do i have the freedom to rob a bank, but not the freedom from the consequences of robbing the bank?
The warrent had 3 counts: interstate threats, threats against the president, and influencing, impeding and retaliating against federal law enforcement officers by threat
Also free speech is shit like: Biden is a terrible president and I fucking hate this country
Talking about how you should grab your ghillie + rifle to great the president is crossing the line
There’s even more details on other news articles. The guy was making explicit threats to a lot of people:
"I want to stand over Bragg and put a nice hole in his forehead with my 9mm and watch him twitch as a drop of blood oozes from the hole as his life ebbs away to hell!!” he wrote
"The time is right for a presidential assassination or two,” Robertson reportedly wrote in a September 2022 Facebook post. “First Joe then Kamala!!!”
"Hey FBI, you still monitoring my social media? Checking so I can be sure to have a loaded gun handy in case you drop by again,” he wrote in one post.
Credible threats have less free speech protection. But I’m also concerned about this. The article doesn’t have any details about the raid. If they were trying to arrest him and he pulled a gun, then that’s just how it goes. If it was a no-knock raid, then it’s closer to summary execution, in my opinion. Hopefully more details come out about this.
(2) (a) An actor commits a threat of violence if the actor: (i) (A) threatens to commit an offense involving bodily injury, death, or substantial property damage; and (B) acts with intent to place an individual in fear of imminent serious bodily injury, substantial bodily injury, or death; or (ii) makes a threat, accompanied by a show of immediate force or violence, to do bodily injury to an individual.

They showed up with an arrest warrant. Unless and until there’s some evidence where they just rolled up with the intent to murder him, I’m going to presume that’s not the case.
I’m really sorry your feeling that way, no one deserves to feel like the best decision is death. I’ve been there and I wouldn’t wish that feeling on anyone. I know you don’t want to hear anyone tell you “Oh just stick it out life gets better!” because if you’re like I was that’s just a fantasy that never comes. But if you’ll take any advice I’d suggest finding something you love to do and just making that your life’s work, don’t worry about anything else. That’s what I did, gave up on everything else and just focused on that for a few years, eventually things ended up turning out alright for me.
Really? I made a sarcastic comment and then when I realized another human being going through a serious struggle I’ve gone through before I try to show compassion. This is why I said you need to stop caring about all this crap that makes life no
Ya know what fuck it whatever be miserable if you want to.
"There are many Middle East countries who do not tolerate homosexuals, they actually hang and execute homosexuals," she said, according to Reuters news agency.
"In the US many states have passed laws that are either against or restrict activities of homosexuality... so why pick on Uganda?"
And the world got a little less shitty today. I love seeing Darwinism in real time. I feel bad for the FBI agent that might have guilt from taking a life.
