Discussion: Instapundit Won't Apologize For 'Run Them Down' Tweet

Gotta love a guy who incites murder, and then criticizes Twitter for censorship. Just what this situation calls for is people with large audiences advocating for increased violence.

What if we encouraged all people with fire arms to target Mr. Glenn Reynolds? Mr. Reynolds what do you say to that??? I would call this an insanity just like your call to violence.

Civil disobedience is one thing. Terrorizing people in cars is another. This stuff helps Trump.

I just googled his previous columns. He was quite critical of the Bundy ranch folks. At least give him some props there.

Not to lose the larger point of the story, but can we lose the “civilian-on-civilian” terminology when referring to non-police officers? Cops are civilians, when a cop shoots an unarmed man, that is a civilian-on-civilian shooting. Until the US military comes in and shoots someone, every action there is civilian-on-civilian, we really need to stop thinking of our police forces as some sort of military unit.

I just want 90 seconds alone in a locked room with Glenn Reynolds. Probably won’t take that long.

leftflank · September 22, 2016, 4:59pm

Hey, it was just a, tweet, dumbass Donald Trump-Republican candidate for the Presidency no less, puts out inciteful tweets all the time and disparages whole swaths of people with regularity. And no one censors him?!!

dr_coyote · September 22, 2016, 4:59pm

No. I don’t think I will.

squirreltown · September 22, 2016, 5:00pm

I can’t decide which is the better response to this, so multiple choice:

I will when they do.
Police Officers routinely refer to the public as civilians.

digitusmedius · September 22, 2016, 5:08pm

Gee whiz, a white man can’t even advocate mass murder anymore with the damn librul PC police trying to shut you up.

digitusmedius · September 22, 2016, 5:11pm

Did he advocate killing them?

bigbraxstone · September 22, 2016, 5:16pm

And this guy is a ‘‘law professor’’ at the University of Tennessee???!!! WOW! Does anyone knows if this genius blogged and express his outrage when Chris Christie and underlings closed down the George Washington bridge for four days and for ‘political’ reasons no less???

buma · September 22, 2016, 5:19pm

Fire his ass, UT and USA Today.

leftflank · September 22, 2016, 5:21pm

They dress in all black! WTF?

pensero · September 22, 2016, 5:26pm

Why read Glenn Reynolds when you’ve got FOX? The things they let into a classroom.

carlosfiance · September 22, 2016, 5:29pm

You are using the actions of some small percentage of protesters to characterize the whole group.
There is a difference between breaking someone’s window (which is what I assume you mean by “terrorizing”) and terrorism.
Helping, or not, Trump is really beside the point.

jeffrey · September 22, 2016, 5:35pm

Reynolds has always been an asshole.
