There's also all those Putin-critical journalists in Russia who mysteriously end up murdered.

What did he say?

According to the tweets in the link,

will the 2nd amendment be as cool when I buy a gun and start shooting at random white people or no...?

I didn't scroll down far enough to see that and had only seen him say, "i said: would conservatives care as much abt the 2nd amendment if guns killed more white people? a question meant to expose double standard"

Those are two extremely different ways to phrase that.

Yeah...I'm alright with authorities checking in with people who talk like that.

I don't know how things went down after that, but this doesn't sound like censorship, this sounds like investigating a possible threat.

Yeah - this is all useless without the context

We'll see many more examples the next 4 years.

Uhh actually I think real censorship is telling people to not say the n word

[–]Macemoose 37ポイント38ポイント  (0子コメント)

No way: REAL censorship is when I can't force private companies to host my views and pay me for it!

Using "they" would be acceptable.

S/he is just awkward.

I like s/he

Why? "They" rolls off the tongue better.

[–]verdatum 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Telling people not to say the n-word is just good advise.

That's also the really real racism.

Looks like he made a statement that was misinterpreted as a threat. I can see how campus police would take this action. Doesn't mean it's right, but seeing how we've got this history of mass shootings in this country I understand the reaction.

Police don't really get a whole lot of training on the First Amendment.

His thread about it on twitter is shit

[–]verdatum 4ポイント5ポイント  (4子コメント)

His speech wasn't taken away. He was even tweeting during the ordeal. So no, this is not real censorship. This could be oppression, but that depends on a bunch of details that we don't have.

It's about the threat of censorship. "Saying these things that we think are 'scary' are going to make us 'have to lock you away.'"

This is where it starts.

Mental hospitals don't really work like that anymore.

There's been lots of talk about the idea that police should do more to investigate alarming posts to social media in an effort to prevent disturbed massacre shooting events. In this case, I don't see any reason to believe that this is because of any effort to silence people who say things those in power don't like. This looks like it started as a genuine concern for public safety.

I don't think dragging a person down to a hospital for an evaluation at 9 in the evening was the right way to go in the case of what was mostly just ambiguously threatening, but it's not any sort of way to go about silencing people through intimidation.

"Saying things that we think are 'scary' are going to make us drive you downtown, talk to a shrink to make sure you aren't gonna hurt people, and then take you back home." isn't exactly the sort of tactic that would make anyone hesitant to speak. If it makes people hesitant to make real threats on Twitter, then good. That is non-protected speech.

Mental hospitals don't really work like that anymore.

But the police still do.
