Don’t be a moron - they were NEVER associated with the shooting and neither was Gab. That you support and even encourage these actions proves that you wholly support censorship and Orwellian “rightthink”.
Get bent. You don’t believe in freedom or liberty you’re just another milquetoast sop who’s too lazy to know the point.

I know I know. You’re so bold and perfect.
Are you providing a free-speech platform and not moderating it? Until you do, you’re talking talk but not walking walk.
It’s easy to criticize.
I’m here to tell you, it’s very very very hard to draw a thin line and decide where it gets crossed. People will argue with you every freaking time, and they take it personal and they make it personal. Its actually easier to just say that free speech reigns and there are no exceptions and there is no moderation, because then you don’t have to do anything. But being the easy path doesn’t make it the right path. I hate to resort to a Reductio ad Hitlerum, but it was a lot easier for Europe to do nothing to Germany in the 1930s. If you look the other way you wont have to take a stand.
I’m quite sure that free republic would not survive if it wasn’t willing to cull out the hate speech.
Because it doesn’t stop at the extremeists - antifa is hate speech but they’re supported along with their violent actions which are buried or accepted.
Only ONE side is getting attacked here and you’re happily supporting deplatforming and silencing SPEECH because “whatcha gonna do?”
It’s one thing for gab or twitter to decide what kind of posters they want.
It’s another for hosting services and payment processors to cut off whole businesses because one guy (who didn’t even talk about shooting people up) went off on a rampage.
But hey buddy - keep fighting the good fight.
