A one word answer says otherwise. That denotes a need to dismiss without offering any logical rebuttal. In fact, Fox News is now making the same point I just made.

Waters was encouraging protesters to continue to fight for what they believe in. Her overheated rhetoric could easily be seen by some as an invitation or endorsement for rioting. However, criminalizing such speech would shred the guarantees of free speech in our country.

The mistrial didn't work but good old Maxine's comment pretty much guaranteed an Appeal if he's convicted.

I'd love to see her receive sanctions for that stunt. These politicians and corporations need to stop interfering with the judicial system.

I fail to see how she can make so many stupid comments..... she usually has both feet in her mouth...........

My post was only reminding you of a benchmark the right placed on "fight like hell" being not a call to violence in political speech.

If that's not, then, "we've got to get more confrontational" certainly isn't. I wasn't offering a value judgment on her comments.

Your video is simply more evidence that Maxine’s comments were not incitement. If anything it shows further that there is a bipartisan standard of “fight” type terminology in political speech that is not regarded by the law as illegal incitement.

All Maxine said was that if Chauvin isn't convicted, "we need to get more confrontational."

I'd like her to explain just much more confrontational she wants it. More looting, more destruction, more rioting? How much?

The worst part is how some of the White leftists think the riots are justified and Maxine is a noble hero: some of those same leftists who think we could have eliminated Covid with a China-style lockdown for 6 weeks. They think Blacks should always be exempt from all the rules and allowed to riot freely because of "racism" while they Whites stay locked inside for 6 weeks and the cops should arrest a White person who has a social gathering or goes outside without a mask before they arrest Black rioters. As a person of color, I see how those self hating leftists Whites are real causes of the problems, much more so than any minority group.
