Did he actually call for people to make threats or use violence? Did he even imply it?
Do you apply the same standard to public figures who call Trump a fascist or a Nazi? Are they responsible for the person who shot him?
- tim333 2y agoSome examples of what he said >You’ve got parents laughing — ‘hahaha’ — and then they walk over to the camera and go ‘boo hoo hoo,’ and not just one but a bunch of parents doing this and then photos of kids that are still alive they said died? I mean, they think we’re so dumb.” >“Why did Hitler blow up the Reichstag — to get control! Why do governments stage these things — to get our guns! Why can’t people get that through their head?” https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/22/us/politics/heres-what-jones-has-said-about-sandy-hook.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/22/us/politics/heres-what-jo... Re double standards on Trump, I think people are ok with criticizing power hungry politicians, less so with parents who have had their kids killed. The Jones case was a civil case for damages. He's not going to prison or anything - just losing some assets. Trump is free to sue people who've implied he's a nazi (maybe he could start with JD) but I don't know how sympathetic a jury would be.
- ta8645 2y agoWe're not discussing the case generally. We're asking if the assertion that he THREATENED anyone, holds water. So far, nobody has been able to provide any evidence, that he has. Whatever you think about the case, it should be decided with factual statements, not emotional manipulative accusations that bend the truth.
- tim333 2y agoYeah, it seems he didn't directly threaten the families.
