Pepsi, pepsi is why

[LeisureSuit912]

Somebody should give Ann Coulter a Pepsi to unite everybody, even if it means she'll still have that melting mutant face

[Poliwhirl]

good

ann coulter has admitted that she pretty much only tries to 'stir the pot', this would have just been another way for her to capitalize off of political turmoil she could care less about

freedom of speech doesnt make you immune to backlash

Yeah but conservatives like Ann Coulter think free speech is "I'm allowed to say whatever I want and you can't criticize me or be offended because that's infringing on my rights you libs"

[Poliwhirl]

i guarantee she only stepped down because she knew that pretending her life was in danger because of the scary communists would stir more stuff than actually giving the speech

Maybe thats because, surprise, BAMN and the anarcho communists exert violent tactics and behavior that they brought to the table.

Its not some insane game of Humble Water Filter Merchant level 4D Chess Conspiracy Theories.

you and leisure are blending together into one big pool of Berkeley denial

I even posted images in the OP so I'm extremely dumbfounded as to how you think these guys aren't a threat

[PhantOS]

I'm sure the people who were sending death threats to the construction workers moving confederate memorials are more of a threat than these guys.

Well, you might have a point, if the people threatening the construnction workers set stuff on fire and vandalized everything in their path.

[Tactical Nuke]

yeah I mean they only destroyed one of their buildings, burnt down the rest of their campus, and stormed into two pro-Annoying Orange rallies, beating the stuff out of anyone they came across

meanwhile the Southern people
uhhhh
uhhhhhh
I don't know, but police snipers!!!11!11!!1!!!!!!1!111!!!!

let me help you out there. they sent death threats. you know, premeditative murder against workers of the state, also considered unlawful coercion in 80% of states

just for comparison, that usually lands you 10-12 years in prison. assault, battery, vandalization and destruction of private property is around 2-8 years in prison. objectively, the former is a heftier crime and are more of a threat

if you think threatening the life of an american worker trying to do their job is less of an offense than burning a floodlight, throwing a bagel or punching a protester in the face, there's something severely wrong with you

where did I mention throwing bagels anywhere

also what's worse, saying that you're going to jeopardize the life of someone who did no wrong or actually going out of your way to try and actually do it?

this goes back to what I said during the election, which is actions speak louder than words

I find it funny though that you tried to outline the severity of death threats over actual violence by comparing mandatory minimums for both offenses while the mandatory minimum for drug offenses lands you pretty much the same amount of time in jail as "premeditative murder" does
and I could probably guess what your opinion on that is easy peasy

[PhantOS]

where did I mention throwing bagels anywhere

you didnt. i brought it up as an example

also what's worse, saying that you're going to jeopardize the life of someone who did no wrong or actually going out of your way to try and actually do it?

i mean here it looks like you flippantly tried to justify the woman being punched because she expressed a joke line from a movie. its hard to decipher what you really meant by "regardless whatever tf..."

it depends on the situation. saying 'i'm going to kill your family' is vastly worse than going to a protest because you believe in antifa and want to express your opinion. unless... everyone at antifa has the intent on murdering when they show up to a protest, a motive anybody has yet to prove

this goes back to what I said during the election, which is actions speak louder than words

you're right, burning a bunch of public property is worse than saying you're going to. punching someone who punched you is obviously an action that will get an equal amount of antifa and pro-Annoying Orange protesters arrested. However, threatening someone's life is more serious than any of the aforementioned crimes as you are expressing premeditated murder. if someone on antifa said "i'm going to go to a protest today and kill every Annoying Orange supporter i see" that'd be vastly different than what antifa already does, which is say "i'm going to go to a protest today and punch a Annoying Orange supporter"

Consciously and intentionally threatening someone's life warrants the sentence. Being bipolar and making the threat out of mental instability warrants a different form of action, like counseling or medication. Likewise, drugs are addictive substances that modify brain chemistry and shouldn't fall into the same class of consciously threatening someone's life. Being addicted to a narcotic means your brain is subconsciously making you seek out more of the drug, so the proper step is to not say "20 years for federal offense" but to put them on rehab.
