My neighbor at it again, just now on Facebook

"An anime doesn't threaten anybody. It's a cartoon. It's emblematic of how he fights against AOC's vacuous proposals and wild spending. But count on democrats and pundits who find offense, and spend time promoting it every chance they can - along with getting nothing else done. It must be a real nightmare to wake up everyday and have to be outraged over something. Today - a cartoon. Tomorrow? Perhaps a box of cereal. Who knows? Meanwhile - Americans are still stuck behind Taliban lines; our allies and those of our foreign partners are still stuck behind enemy lines in Afghanistan - women are being beaten; banned from schools and nothing but crickets from the expensive ice cream eating Pelosi and her demo party. Pathetic."

This is Gosar related.

Nothing yet on Rittenhouse and I'm frankly surprised.

There isn't any alert they get that they've been blocked by someone. So yes they would know but it might take them a while to notice you're gone.

Once blocked neither of you can see or comment on each other’s posts.

Be sure to block them on Facebook messenger, too!

2. Send her the pic of Kathy Griffin holding up the mask with red paint

and ask her why Griffin's career was ended for that. Use her own words right back at her.

6. She used a tRump mask, painted it with fake blood

and held it up for a staged photoshoot.



Rightists were outraged, calling it a direct threat etc. It pretty much ended her media career.

12. That's why I suggested sending that in reply,

and using their same wording. I'd bet anything that your "friend" was totally outraged by comedian Kathy Griffin.

I never pass up a chance to rub their noses in their own hypocrisy.

5. Do you feel personally threatened? Do you own a weapon? Can you cry on the witness stand?

Sorry, are you white?

If you're white, it's all right (to apparently mow down people in the streets).

9. I live in New Haven. It's a Democrats dream. Our neighbor is sadly out of step with the area.

My husband was a public servant. He headed up the Homeless Commission for several years and has been in public service in Democratic state and local governments his entire career. I am a lifelong Democrat, having worked for the ACLU and Planned Parenthood at the local and federal levels.

I don't mean to discount your concerns but at our ages (early 80s) we look on in dismay. We thought we helped people to live better lives. I hope we did.

14. I wonder if he knows about the more risque anime -

erotic anime and manga? (some lightly erotic anime is mainstream even (To Love Ru), but the harder stuff is called hentai - although that's not the meaning of the word in Japan - it means pervert or something there and it's about people not media).

Is rape Oh-k, just because it's a cartoon?

Yeah, you could ask that. Where is the line?


I mean I'm all for freedom of speech, but there is a line, like yelling fire in a crowded theater, libel, and inciting violence and terrorist threats are over that line!
