Tucker "I stopped wearing a bow tie because people kept yelling at me during my commute, because it made me standout and I'm a terrible person" Carlson
Blah blah blah blah.This is uncomfortably close to a pitchfork-wielding mob.
This sort of thing is only going to embolden the other side and feed into the victim complex that they're literally under attack.
Also, mobs like this egg each other one and attract agent provocateurs.
It's not a huge leap from this to something truly unfortunate happening.
And those things are all blatantly illegal. We have multiple law enforcement agencies and a robust justice system.
Stooping to their level just says "This is the level everything's at from now on."
In public, at a restaurant or the movies? Absolutely not. You see him out, you give him a piece of your mind. But his house? Do you know his home address? I sure don't. That isn't publicly available information. Do we wanna give some nutjob a quid pro quo reason to show up at say, Rachel Maddow's home to "protest"? No, we don't. Or at least we shouldn't.
As someone that lives in a country that it's about to become a fascist shithole, this.
Yeah it would be such a shame if a nazi got "popped".We're going to get to the point where one of these dudes gets popped and everyone cheers
Well, yeah, why wouldn't we cheer? You think we'd shed a single tear for Tucker and people like him?We're going to get to the point where one of these dudes gets popped and everyone cheers
It's not like he stops being a fascist while he's at home though, and people going to Maddow's home would be stupid since she isn't one, and I imagine people would show up to shut that down.In public, at a restaurant or the movies?

Ha!

pretty sure they meant popped as in popped one in the face. Nobody is talking about what you are insinuating....This feels like just straight-up condoning political assassination.
If this isn't "calling for violence" it's about as close to the line as you can get without stepping over.

ok. But that's not what people are talking about. Punching a nazi is what people are talking about, it's a thing.
No I meant shooting, and I'm glad people are being honest instead of pretending they wouldn't be happy.pretty sure they meant popped as in popped one in the face. Nobody is talking about what you are insinuating.
Nah, 'cause white supremacists have been punched. Something like this hasn't lead to one getting shot or "popped" yet, to my knowledge -- at least someone on Carlson's level.pretty sure they meant popped as in popped one in the face. Nobody is talking about what you are insinuating.
These people call for violence against millions daily....This feels like just straight-up condoning political assassination.

Well I shouldn't have defended that then, because I don't want him to get shot, no.No I meant shooting, and I'm glad people are being honest instead of pretending they wouldn't be happy.
I will explicitly say if he got decked in the face like that other Nazi, the gif of him would be viral in an hour, and I would cheer in every page of the OT about it, in addition to multiple pages in the Poli OTpretty sure they meant popped as in popped one in the face.

It is. This thread is mob mentality. Deeply uncomfortable with people espousing harassing political opponents at their homes. This isn't about "civility." This shit is straight up dangerous....This feels like just straight-up condoning political assassination.
Are you sure? Because "punched in the face" was not my read of that at all. Getting popped generally either means getting arrested, or getting shot.pretty sure they meant popped as in popped one in the face. Nobody is talking about what you are insinuating.
No I don't, but let's not pretend there isn't a sizable user base here that wouldn't be excited if he was killed....So you admit you're literally calling for a private citizen to be murdered?
Private citizen... Tucker Carlson....So you admit you're literally calling for a private citizen to be murdered?
No I don't, but let's not pretend there isn't a sizable user base here that wouldn't be excited if he was killed.
No I was wrong. There's always one though that wants to go extreme.It is. This thread is mob mentality. Deeply uncomfortable with people espousing harassing political opponents at their homes. This isn't about "civility." This shit is straight up dangerous.

That we're talking about murder is exactly what the Right wants here. How about we stick to just making them miserable?
I believe a private citizen is just one not in a government position, isn't it? Regardless, Tucker Carlson's fame shouldn't make anyone more comfortable with the idea of him being murdered.
