Unfortunately this had to be removed as per this site's policy on advocating violence. This isn't due to either me or the person who makes these rules not liking it, it's to keep saidit out of hot water with higher powers who could shut it down and force us all to go back to reddit. And that is a legitimate concern. If you want my personal opinion I think it's stupid to have to remove most likely innocent stuff like this.

If you disagree you can ask magnora7. But I'm trying to go by the decisions he's made in the past.

I understand. Please excuse me.

It's fine. Just try to avoid it in the future.

Interesting. Matt Walsh can say "drug dealers should be executed" on Youtube. I'm not trying to argue, it's just a fuzzy line to draw.

YouTube is untouchable. It's run by the very same people who have the power to shut down humbler sites like this one.

“Drug dealers should be executed” is not, in my opinion, a call to violence, as he is presumably calling for the execution of criminals after a full legal process with their right to representation, fair and speedy trial, to face their accusers etc.

Calling for drug dealers to be lynched would be entirely different - lynching being the extrajudicial killing where the accused’s rights are not even considered let alone protected.

I’m neither a Walsh fan nor a death penalty supporter, but apples should be compared to apples, not VW Beetles.

I don’t know what was actually deleted, but I’m presuming it is something similar.
