Twitter Says Calling Boulder Shooter a 'White Christian Terrorist' Is OK
Newsweek ^ | 23 Mar 2021 | Daniel Villareal

A tweet describing Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, the suspected gunman in Monday's Colorado supermarket shooting, as a "white Christian terrorist" does not violate the social network's misinformation policies, Twitter told Newsweek.

..Some users have deleted their tweets calling him white. Others have defended their claims, saying they were based on Alissa's skin color rather than his ethnicity.

Newsweek put the misleading posts to Twitter. The social network has been accused of left-wing bias and anti-Christian prejudice in the way it polices speech on its platform....

"The Tweets referenced are not in violation of the Twitter Rules," the spokesperson told Newsweek in an email. "We will not take action on every instance..."

Unbelievable.

Some day we may be forced to do the things we have been falsely accused of for so long.

Well, you gotta admit. “White Christian terrorist” IS pretty easy to confuse with “Syrian moslem Trump-hating Isis-supporting racist who only shot white people”.

Couldn’t he, at least be called, a BACKSLIDDEN terrorist Christian. Personally, I have never heard terrorism preached in the pulpit, unless “turn the other cheek” is a form of terrorism.

He went 20 miles to a store that specialized in Kosher food. Hint: Moslems really REALLY hate Jews.

“Some day” is not far off. But visions of random vigilante groups marching on D.C. are not what we need, and were they to materialize should rightfully be punished. That’s not how our ancestors won their freedom, and it’s not how we will regain ours.

What is needed is an organized effort, led by a number of states and a group of true statesman, if such men still exist, to formally declare opposition to all unconstitutional and tyrannical actions of the present federal government. If the feds nevertheless persist, and particularly if they try to enforce unconstitutional actions upon those states, then they should be reminded of the rights granted to all free men by their Creator, especially the right to resist tyranny with force, if necessary. This should be emphasized by calling up the national guard in these states, as well as the militia, consisting of all able-bodied men of suitable age.

Beyond that, the course of events is up to the feds, but were they to refuse to relent, I would use the plains states and whatever Midwestern states joined in to starve the communist coalition out. We would also likely control all of the land-based ICBMs, the entire B-2 fleet at Whiteman, the lion’s share of real energy production and refining capacity, and a huge percentage of the U.S.’s remaining manufacturing capacity.

Sound crazy? Of course it is, it’s totally ludicrous to contemplate, but it’s no less crazy than what is happening to our country right now, and I don’t see any way that talking or “voting” gets us out of this. When your house is infested with rats, you have to remove the rats.

Oh, but I forgot to list the advantages that the coalition of leftist states would hold. They would present a less formidable challenge, but they would have the market cornered on white collar criminals, the narcissism industry, and faggotry. So there’s that.

They know the idiots will buy anything the liberal media sells to them. They know their audience is stupid.

The Babylon Bee parodied this development before it happened, of course.
