Twitter is . . . oh, you know already

"Looters will be shot" is glorifying violence and must be screened from a delicate public.

Minneapolis is . . . oh, you know already.

"Looters will be shot"

Which is neither what Trump said nor alluded to. He was merely pointing out a Truth that looters often will begin shooting as well--and that was what was behind his suggestion of the State's National Guard.

The NLMSM's dragging out a similar phrase from a 50+ years ago bygone era is a cynically offered reach.

My favorite part is the White House pointing out that Twitter is only censoring them, not know Chinese propaganda outlets or terrorist supporting regimes like Iran.

Other Twitter users also are pointing out how Twitter lets Iran tweet overt threats to Jews and to destroy Israel, but @Jack doesn't seem to care about that.

There's a quite a lot of suffering being shown on twitter. Compassion gets sent to the business owners that lost their life savings amidst the rioting. So we have a perfect case of Service to Self vs Service to Other polarity here.

Judging by reactions, it will take a lot more suffering to wake Americans up. But this, at least, is a step in the right direction.

If people would awaken their spirit from death, they could avoid much of the difficulties. But humanity usually does not choose the easy route in life.

It is ineffective "telling" people the truth. They have to be shown the truth. Even if that hurts.

Also, most of those rioters were paid by and sent by Soros.

There goes that "freedom of speech" argument. Too much American freedom leads to Nazi SS totalitarian rule, apparently.

Soros and Sharpton are free to create riots that kill people, while being immune. Trum is free to take the hits for Flynn and others like traitor Hussein. And Hussein and Lois Lerner and HRC are free, just free period.

This is "freedom" correct.
