Kneecap has apologized to the families of Cox and Amess. It said it has never supported Hamas or Hezbollah and that the footage circulating online has been “deliberately taken out of all context” as part of a “smear campaign” following their criticism of Israel and the United States in regards to the war in Gaza.

      That doesn’t change what is being said. Calling for murder is calling for murder, and the “context” of “they’re people I hate” changes nothing. Their quote was that it was “taken out of context”, but you’re even agreeing that it wasn’t taken out of context, just that you agree with the context.

      Also you’re a mod here? And you’re saying that it’s absolutely fine to advocate for the killing of anyone that supports a political party that you don’t like?

      Rules:

      Be a decent person

      I guess we don’t care about rule number 1 then haha. That’s cool, now that I know that’s how it is here and that the line isn’t even crossed by calling for murder it’s all good. I’m all for free speech, generally with the exception of direct threats to someones life.

        I’d personally say it’s a call for self defense from people actively trying to suppress and hurt innocent people.

        This community is fine for say calling for more Luigi’s, less fine with calling for more Christchurch shooters.

            Exactly… If you don’t see we got a class war on our hands, I don’t know if you ever will.

            Either way… Why do you cry if some parasites gets served by saint Luigi?

            You don’t understand that these people wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire?

            Or are you part of the club?

              I think murdering ordinary law abiding people in cold blood is bad, no matter who they work for.

              How they feel about me is irrelevant. I don’t value people’s lives based on how they might treat me.

              I’m definitely not part of the club that thinks murdering regular people is ok like you guys are.

        Doing bad things to bad people is a good thing. Being a decent person means full throated support of anyone who’d put a stop to evil.

            A xenophobic, racist, islamophobic, homophobic, transphobic, pauperophobic, ableist party? Yes.

            By the way, Popper would slap the shit out of you.

                Pick up a history book for a change and see for yourself wtf Tories are high on. Keep on letting political discourse get shoved to the right because “all opinions matters”, you prick.
