Yeah, no. Nice tell on the safe space thing where your politics lie. I guess the irony of telling people to lighten up AND using a word like lynching is lost on you, huh?
Seriously, have we really gotten to a place where "woke mob pressure" is supposed to be a defense to assault with a deadly weapon that very nearly killed 6 people?
BTW, hyperbole IS inflammatory language, that's the whole point. When you call somebody a member of a "virtual lynch mob", you are likening them to a murderer. The poster I was responding to has been the Francis in Chief regarding the supposed "inflammatory" language that's been used against someone who actually has drastically impaired the lives of several people, and damn near killed them.
Suggest you stop playing like you know so much more about the real world than other people, you're contradicting yourself right and left (well, maybe right more than left). You can't be ok with using "virtual lynch mob" AND telling people to "lighten up". Those two things are completely incompatible.
