I've said nothing I'd be ashamed of. If the news media wants it known that I've told degenerates to rot in Hell, so be it.

That said, if you'd paid-a-goddamn-ttention to the thread, you'd see that I am not okay with this. They never should have done that.

Dude called for genocide of Muslims too. I mean, at what point should people engaged in this kind of behavior be exposed? Are we supposed to wait until actual genocide happens?

You quoted me and diverted off my question to the other poster.

Again, that depends on the context. It was ruled that the government could not get into an iphone for a investigation. I work an a government site, I have absolutely zero right to privacy here. Your question is very open ended, and without exact context cannot be really answered. Which is why I called it a trolling post, and the other reason. Trying to lead me into a "gotcha", with a silly question.

Obviously I am talking about CNN. If you think holding over someone's head the threat (that they admit will result into actual real life personal threats against him) of releasing his name is ok just because he posted a meme about CNN that they didn't like is ok, then I don't agree with you. I am not surprised you think like that though. Except if it was Fox News in the exact same reversal.
You mean like when Lou Dobbs actually did it?

You were outraged then, right?

You goddamned people. You assume because you have no integrity that no one does.

I can be frustrated by CNN's actions AND be less outraged by them than Fox's actually doing it TO A GODDAMNED VICTIM who came forward.

Looks like we agree on something though: context matters.

Yeah, I was open-ended. It's called starting a conversation. I could give a shit about "gotcha" this or that. I just want to know what kind of worldview you have.

I did not read the entire thread, so if you did that ok. I just do not have the time to read a 10 page thread, the post I replied to was pretty simple. But I will take the bust on not reading every reply before posting to you. I simply asked a question if you would be ok with CNN putting our your name as their top story with the picture? Because you seem to be giving the guy who did the meme a hard time by retracting and apologizing. Which to that, I agree with. If you say something or do something, stick with it. Don't be a bitch and backtrack. Damon Waynes Jr made a tweet, then immediately called it a joke after he got shit for it. He has no backbone and bitched out. Stick with what you say.

My post was to people here doing the same thing. Hiding, behind a monitor. And people not being ok with being exposed for saying something someone else didn't like.

You mean like when actually did it?

Do you know how I felt about that? Where is my reply in the thread? I just searched and the thread, only saw one by Perknose and it was less than a page long. I don't remember the thread, I do not visit or post here everyday. Try again? It is not the exact same situation either. That being said, after reading the news about what he did, no I do not like it at all. Should have never done it.

Just make more mindless assumption and insults though. I have zero doubts I have more integrity than you.

edit,

He seems to be a horrible person. Who posts lots of hate. These types of posts are pretty common sadly enough. People HERE have called for the deaths of people. If its not an actual threat, there is not much authorities can do.

From the jump you were calling me a troll.

But you're right, I'm the one making assumptions and throwing insults.

Best of luck to you.

But why is CNN covering for him?

Because they would receive huge backlash if they gave his information. For one, they have admitted he would receive threats to his person, not just online. This is a line that should never be crossed in this context in my opinion. What if he does get attacked, killed even? CNN gave out his information, how would that look? I have not read his other postings, just what was reported from news and such. He does appear to be a horrible person, with a heart of hate. That doesn't mean they should just release his information. I understand that it probably sits better that hes posted hateful messages before, so he "deserves it". Kinda like a rapist "deserves" to be raped in prison. Still doesn't make it right, but for some people it makes it ok.

* Haven't investigated myself so I don't know if they were actually racist remarks or the new "racist remarks" such as "taxes are too high" or "college students shouldn't need safe spaces" or "I don't think cops actually decide to go murder some black people."

Whatcha think, are these "new racist remarks" or "actually racist remarks"? (btw, not much 'investigation needed for this one)

"In May the user took part in a discussion, which appears to have been deleted, and described someone as a “great person” before asking: “Explain to me why a weekend doesn’t go by where 80 of you fucking moon crickets aren’t shooting each other down in Shitcago [Chicago]? Why you dumb fucking nignogs can’t attend a rap concert without someone being shot up?”

I enjoy when it's an uncomfortable truth that suddenly people don't have the time to look into what they're talking about.

Done what? Interview the guy?

He called them, told them he realized he'd made a yuuuge mistake after he'd apologized to the world on reddit.

CNN said they were good with that so long as there was no more. He thanked them for being so nice.

But they're the ogres. Or maybe it's Obama's fault. Having a black president did make too many conservatives as crazy as shithouse rats.

Of course if a creator of those macho gifs got a call from CNN, he'd need new underpants.

Seems to me like Muslims have a right to know who is calling for their genocide, no?

That is funny. Kinda like on here, rarely anyone actually posts information about themselves. Plenty of opportunities, especially in the picture thread. I have posted many facts about myself. Wonder if people want news sites to out their names if they don't like what they said, and if you would still be ok with them doing that to you?

If this name gets tied to my real name, my expressed views are going to have nothing on where I post as far as catching me death threats and harassment at my workplace. Joke's on them though, because I'm not actually trans, but I still want to keep it relatively tricky for them. Hope you don't mind. I say basically all this stuff in person though.
