What the morons at Twitter got wrong, and I’m sure the rest of the mainstream press will purposely get wrong, is not that the government is going to start shooting people, the people they’re looting from are going to start shooting the people doing the looting.
These people are total idiots to continue to going down this road.
1941 : FDR declares war on Japan in violent tweet; Twitter deletes post
Congress declared war in 1941. The vote was NOT unanimous.
I am glad Twitter does this stuff now after ignoring all the death threats after the 2016 elections, or even the threats against music artists who considered to attend the inauguration. Or all those other things they didn’t care about because liberals were threathening conservaties.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Their heads are exploding over the word “thugs”.

Evidently it’s racist to call a spade a spade anymore.
This would have had @Jack’s approval.
If he’s talking about the NG, then he’s simply describing law and order. If he’s talking about the owners, then he is simply describing, not threatening.
But speaking about shooting, I take this to be a shot across the bow from Twitter. Essentially they are threatening that they could take down Trump’s account if he keeps doing what they don’t want.
I imagine they have the idea that Trump does not want that to happen with the election coming up. Not unlike China threatening our pharma drug chain when we don’t have the ability to immediately supply our own pharma needs. They are betting that the threat of taking away Trump’s Twitter soapbox is more than he would really want to risk.
Twitter may be trying to provoke Trump to say or do something they could use against him in their inevitable court challenge to the implementation of yesterday’s executive order.
Need to have martial law for the military to do policing actions.
There’s never been shooting when there’s been looting. /s
The war has begun
It will only give them wider play.
ANTIFA needs to be declared a terrorist organization and George Soros an international criminal. No more games or putting people’s lives at risk. We know who is doing this. Time to arrest them.
It is all about context.
The picture of the bear you posted is in a leg snare.
And the pole has a syringe on the end of it so the bear can be sedated.
I saw an interview of some locals protecting the businesses and the locals. Well-armed white and black folks.
“We’re here to protect the businesses from looters, and also to give some protection to folks that are afraid of the police.” (To that effect).
It is a shot across the bow by Twitter. But Trump probably has cards he could play if they try to totally ban him. At least I hope he does.
My first thought was "how many ANTIFA, BLM or other thug organization accounts have they shut down?"
I think we all know the answer is zero.
Thugs were Asian criminals in India
The term grew into general use to apply
to any menacing lawbreakers
