Here are some of NotBruceZ’s deleted/reported posts:
August 6: “Unthinking conservatives are part of the problem. The lack of thought on their part could be taken as an argument they lack sentience and deserve to be crushed like vermin.”
August 8: “I’m rooting for ISIS to do things that make Trump look bad.”
August 8: “When something like this happens, I am very tempted to pile on and suggest that I am happy that the gun idiot gene isn’t getting passed on. I’ve lost my patience with these people. Maybe they don’t deserve help or comfort when gun-related tragedy befalls them.” (This in response to a story about a three-year-old girl picking up a gun that wasn’t in a safe and killing herself with it.)
A couple weeks ago: “That’s inefficient. The country would be better off if mass shooters targeted rich people instead of minorities.”
Five days ago: “I can agree with “fuck the Constitution”, but the idea of fucking Pelosi doesn’t get my dick hard.”
Two days ago: “A part of me wants another 9/11 just so I can say it wouldn’t have happened if Hillary was president.”
And now this: “Would millenials carrying out mass shootings of boomers shift opinion on gun control?”
That’s without a couple of posts that he deleted himself, and those are only the ones that were noticed and flagged/moderated/deleted. Here are some that weren’t reported:
July 29: “I’m thinking it will take multiple successful assassination attempts against Republican politicians to move the needle. Obviously, I kinda don’t advocate that, but I know it’s the direction my mind will go if I ever lose loved ones to gun violence.”
July 29: (referring to the shooting of the GOP softball game) “Not enough casualties, unfortunately.”
August 4: “The solution is obvious. Be more radical to move the Overton window leftward. We are in a situation where our broken government seems to be an impediment to a solution. Perhaps, radical leftists need to look for pro-active non-government solutions. I don’t know what those actions would be, but …”
August 4: “Also, Ronald Reagan was an ass who deserved to get shot and didn’t deserve to live.”
August 6: “If I wanted to kill these people, I’d just use poison. Good luck using a gun against that.”
August 7: “I haven’t really figured out how I want to start a topic on this, but I want to acknowledge that I am aware of and anticipated concerns about what I wrote. My mindset is that we are at war and there will be no unity, so we need to adopt more militant rhetoric on our side. If you don’t agree with that, then you can go vote for Joe Biden. How militant is a reasonable topic for debate.”
August 8: " So, here’s where my head is at. I don’t think I’m a threat to commit any real world mayhem, but I make no promises if Trump is re-elected. I agree with @jmakin:
Defense of the Dark Arts: General Policies, Tactics, and Tips for Triggering Deplorables
What this is is a war.
I don’t believe national unity is possible. I’m interested in changing the language we use to embrace this reality. Trump delenda est.
I am aware there are potential dangers. I am aware that I could be having delusions of grandeur that anything I write on some tiny internet forum that no one has heard of and few people will ever read has a non-zero chance of changing things."
August 11: “It would be foolish to not lay the groundwork for Plan B.” (This is referring to preparing for a violent civil war if we cannot win the political battle.)
August 19: “I would not be opposed to the idea of people pointing out where Pantaleo’s next job is, even if it is not in law enforcement, and making it easy to find him.”
I’ll stop there, I don’t want to spend too much more time on this. He’s calling for violence repeatedly, he believes it is or will soon be necessary, and he is trying to spread that idea. I’ve called him out directly, I’ve flagged posts, I’ve modded posts that others have flagged, etc… He was also called out here: NotBrucez, let's talk.
Yet he’s still doing it. He’s been given a chance to self-edit. Either we want to be a community that condones calls to violence, or we don’t. I don’t want us to be that. Hopefully I’m in the majority with that opinion.
