You decide.
Imagine if this shit had happened under Obama. She would be getting death threats, forced to hide, lose any employment she has and would be under investigation by the secret service and FBI for threats against the president. Also remember that threats against the president carries a 10 year sentence, of which she of course will never see. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threatening_the_President_of_the_United_States
Don't believe me? Its already happened for everyday people just SAYING something threatening the president or even someone else saying that you said it, let alone posing with a realistic severed head of a president and posting it online.

But hey she is a part of liberal hollywood, nothing will happen, it has already been praised as"resistance" by some media, and as soon as someone does the exact same thing against a democratic leader they will lose there minds and scream with death threats that it is unacceptable.
Inb4liberalarguments:
"It was a mistake and she apologized."
-Doesnt matter for normal people so it shouldn't matter for her. Why does she get this "free speech" where others rot in jail for it? Either its fine for all or fine for none, that is equality.
"Way to pick one thing and generalize."
-This has been happening for a while and things people would have been arrested for under Obama are fine under Trump as long as democrats do it. This is one example of a much larger trend that continues to get more vile and toxic.
"Well Trump is evil and deserves it."
-Many thought Obama was evil that does not justify threatening the presidents life. And if consequences exist for one then it should exist for others.
"You are just stupid and a Trump supporter so nothing you say matters!"
-I am an independent and would have the same level of outrage is things were reversed and there was blatant hypocrisy. However the left has become so insane with hypocrisies and delusions lately that this stuff needs to be shown for what it is.
"She just did it to become relevant again."
-Probably a lot of truth here but you cannot deny the hollywood hatred of Trump that makes them go to these lengths. And even if it was just to move into the public eye it should still carry the legal ramifications that everyday Americans have been subjected to. It is not "free speech" to threaten to president and if it is then all those arrested and charged should have everything dropped if they are still serving time and are about to.

Edited by Bieltan: 6/1/2017 12:21:43 AMHow many death threats has Ted Nugent had then? Not saying she was right to do what she did - she wasnt - but the shoe has been on the other foot for quite some time, and I'm pretty sure it debunks your statement.

I'm not sure you understand what a threat is.

Oh no, not someone expressing their opinions!

5 RepliesShe's lost some sponsorships (rightfully so) but you know who hasn't dumped her yet? CNN. They probably will eventually but the fact that they're taking this long really speaks volumes.

3 RepliesI like how you spend more of your post defending strawman liberal arguments than you did on the meat of the story.

It's completely legal, but pretty shitty

This was definitely way over line, but l o l if anyone actually takes that photo as a credible threat. No need to be melodramatic over something that's already disgusting.

Edited by tjustie: 5/31/2017 7:25:09 PMSo a rich celebrity hasn't faced legal consequences for actions that would(might) otherwise be legally punishable had she just been an average joe? I'm shocked, let me tell ya. Just flabbergasted. As an aside, people have been arrested for threatening Trump, so... This thread seems silly.

1 ReplyYup, it was stupid. Just as stupid as when Trump "joked" about people assassinating Clinton. I will easily say both are wrong and should be denounced. I wish folks across the aisle could call out their own side's BS too...
-
People from both sides are calling her out on this. It's horrible.

15 RepliesWhile I disagree with what she did it was not a death threat... Nobody had a problem with it when manson did basically the same thing... Also where was the people on the right when people was burning effigies of Obama??? Again not saying what she did was right but let's not act as if the RW hasn't done the same thing... Take Ted Nugent for example he talked so much vile shit on Obama saying him and Hillary could suck on the barrel of his gun ect...and yet where was the RW??? Oh wait nevermind he went to the white house...

3 RepliesI don't understand why you thought the "inn4liberalarguments" part was necessary. I've seen equal amounts of condemning from both parties. Any mature liberal doesn't believe he deserves death, just that he shouldn't continue to be in a position of power.

2 RepliesIm not going to pretend like Im surprised and outraged bc after the last 100 days nothing really surprises me anymore I am however pissed bc while everyday people did those things to an obama effigy they didn't have hundreds of thousands of followers on social media. When they do things like this they normalize it.
