From the latest Splinter article about !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Kinja has a feature that lets you flag posts for harassment, hate speech, or spam.
One commen ter made a threatening post against a group of people (Trump supporters). They didn’t specify whether their threats of violence would take the form of vandalism, bodily harm, or death, but all three are illegal, nor are such threats protected under the 1st Amendment.
I agree Trump is a jackass, but Jesus fucking christ, you do not have the constitutional right to threaten violence against a group of people with whom you disagree politically. It would be one thing if it was just this one psycho, but 87 people endorsed his/her message. Hopefully the Splinter moderators take action here and remove the post.
In the meantime, I presume I’m supposed to flag it for “hate speech” although this person’s post goes well beyond the definition of hate speech ( abusive or threatening speech or writing that expresses prejudice against a particular group, especially on the basis of race, religion, or sexual orientation ).
Maybe instead of making death threats against people you disagree with, you could try something really crazy, like voting .

You can send the editor an email with a direct link to the comment. I did that only once when the original comment was particularly bad.
I located what you mentioned and reported it too. But I don't know if they will take action over there.

IMO, “open season” isn’t a death threat.
It’s the internet, everyone is a tough guy.

Only 68 days left until the truth is exposed! We’re coming for you lizard people!

I mean, I suppose that going “open season” on someone could refer to loudly reciting quotes from the kids movie, Open Season.

I’ve always felt that people who disagree with me should summarily be killed.

Eh, I disagree with that. I’m the most gun not-owning lefty I know, and I still know enough to equate that with hunting.

I’m pretty sure the radiation will stop all of them at some point. Since it never officially existed, it never had to comply with any environmental regulation. I don’t mean the water is n’t drinkable, I mean pure toxic waste flowing. Rumor has it they barely use the location anymore because of that and have some other place nobody has discovered of yet.
I’m damned curious what’s in there. And elsewhere.

It’s Splinter, they won’t do anything about it. And knowing that place, it could be false flag anyway.
Voting lol in this often gerrymandered shitshow, well maybe in local elections for people who live in first world America (which isn’t all of it)

Is this your way of telling us you bought a 600?

I would say yes and no. I doubt they’d go and expand the runways and hangers for the hell of it . rumors are they have expanded one the bases in colorado.

I t’s not hate speech and it’s not harassment . If you can literally threaten to shoot the president and get away with it , then that comment is probably constitutionally protected. Nobody with even a tenuous connection to reality would consider it a serious threat to anyone.
There are far worthier recipients of your politically-motivated anger than a nobody on the internet

Why do liberals feel more powerful when they use profanity? That just adds to the hypocrisy.

2010-12 At the same time they were expanding the runways/hangers this was spotted
and the x47b navy UAV flight testing not long after.
