In reply to the discussion: Shooter Believed He Was Fulfilling Trump's Wishes [View all]EdmondDantes_

Not that Trump should be speaking the way he does, but I don't know that this is sufficient evidence that he is inciting violence because one person committed violence given the high standards around free speech. The klan advocates violence but the ACLU still defends their free speech. Where's the line between that and the group that incited violence against a family in Idaho where the family won the property of what Christian nationalist group was targeting them? From what I understand their has to be a direct link targeting a specific person, and I don't see that this meets that standard.
