DU is not the place to advocate gun violence at political rallies.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Goblinmonger (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Do folks realize just how dangerous the actions they are proposing here on DU are?

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't agree with the poster but that is not a reason for a hide. I will state once again: You cannot HIDE posts because you do not AGREE with what is said. They have to break rules in order for a hide. No hide from me.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is talking about defense; not willy-nilly gun violence. Please learn the difference.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Sick post. Thanks for alert.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I do not condone Trump's people using violence, or when Trump, himself, threatens riots and, repeatedly calls for violence.

So I do not condone the call for someone to pull a gun and blow away people even in this situation.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I just did not see this incident the way the alerter saw it.

Thank you.

Meta-complaining about juries?

Send a note to Skinner, or post in "ask the administrators", they can fix it, if it needs fixing.
