The former president is inciting violence against the nation’s top general. America’s response is distracted and numb.

    Do you have a source for this? I’m not saying you’re lying, that’s just pretty flagrant 1A abuse and I’m curious to read more

      I don’t, it was back in like 2002-3 and the local paper doesn’t have their archives up anymore. He ended up having the charges dropped, but months later.

        So @BolexForSoup was correct in their assumption? 1A abuse?

        OTOH, I would think that sort of speech is covered by laws threatening government officials?

        I remember hearing warnings about things like this in the early 2000s,but I never witnessed anything. Post 2001 was a strange time.
