Violently? Assaulting people? Destroying property?

Ah the tolerant left ...

The guy himself requested people gun down journalists, so as my previous post said:

Womp womp, live by the sword, die by the sword.

You seem to think body count is the only metric for intolerance. It isn't.

Nor does it magically absolve retards like ANTIFA's intolerance when others are also intolerant.

Did he actually request it or merely speak the words while the context was clear to anyone who doesn't have an agenda?

I'm no fan of Milo so I honestly don't care, any sort of suppression of thought / speech is a problem though. I'm more curious about what issues anyone can have with Ben Shapiro.

Last I checked 71% was more than 3%, but hey, don’t let me interrupt you selling your crooked wares to susceptible internet marks.

71% of single metric when the context is infinitely more complex means almost nothing. You might as well tell me our education system in South Africa is excellent because matric pass rates are higher than ever.

My calendar says Tuesday, but apparently yours says Deflection Day... Who am I kidding, *every* day on your calendar is Deflection Day.

The irony in that statement must be going over your head else you'd never have posted it.

I suppose encourage is the correct word then.

I have no problem with Ben myself.

NBFtw: BLM are the greatest threat to civilisation. Ever!

Feel free to substantiate that with a quote, I never said anything of the kind. Seeing as your feeble mind imagined it you somehow managed to concoct a whole childish rebuttal to an imaginary statement.

Well done!

Trying to figure out how you came up with NarrowBandFtw as a nic?

Surely HollowMan would have been more accurate.

Oh god snopes again ...

But hey, I guess the fact that they chanted for killing cops two years before the most well known, recent, cop killings somehow means they never chanted it at all ...

By "they" you must mean "someone other than BLM"

Ah the old "not real members" bs excuse. Yeah, no.

 

[cerebus]

Ah the old "not real members" bs excuse. Yeah, no.

The video was categorically not BLM. it's also been misattributed to million man march. So yes, not real members - in fact not even remotely related to BLM, unless you can prove otherwise.

 

[Cray]

Ah the old "not real members" bs excuse. Yeah, no.

You said the BLM movement supports killing of cops....

Doubtful, a participant in a violent anti-protest and supporter of a movement (BLM) that condones indiscriminate killing of police officers wouldn't know a damn thing about tolerance.

So that would mean that the founders or spokeman of that organisation have condoned it, care to provide evidence of where this was done?
