Reply #88: I'll try to explain this assuming you are serious in your

[sabrina 1]

claims to be totally ignorant of what this man Jones is doing.

Let's say you have a neighbor. You know your neighbor loved his dog. His dog is long dead but he once told you how much he loved it. You hate your neighbor. You try to figure out to hurt him. So you get a photo of his dog. You make an announcement that you are going to burn his dog's photo in public.

But, you are just innocent right? You're not trying to do anything except burn a stupid photo. A photo is not a dog. Why should anyone be upset? And of course you were not trying to provoke anything, just exercising your 1st Amendment rights.

And if the neighbor lashed out and punched a friend of yours you would then say 'well, I meant to get him riled up. And now I'm going to get a photo of his wife and put her on trial, for prostitution'. And your defenders would say, yeah, go ahead, a photo of his wife is just a thing. It's not his real wife, it's just a photo. If he gets upset over it, he's a nutcase'.

I can't believe anyone has to explain any of this. Especially to progressives.

Sad, sad country we live in.

Jones is not an aberration.

He very well represents this country.

He is who we are.
