Actions have consequences, whether those actions are breaking the law or not. The false narrative being driven in this country is driving a mob that IS breaking laws. And before you say it; I'm not assigning direct blame to any one individual for acts of violence by others. This is about taking a stand against this culture. It's very much a culture war, right now, as well as a spiritual war. We won't get anywhere saying "well, free speech is dead, racial wars are being ignited on false premises, and cops are being defunded... But as long as no one is getting hurt, it's just opinions. Nothing more."

I'm sorry, man. But I can't get on board with that. And I didn't "intimate" what your responsibilities should be. I'm giving my personal opinion on what I think is our collective responsibility. If you think it's cool for people to spout things without facts, and have a raging fit over someone else's opinion, then I'm not sure what you're even about.

By the way, I don't know if Jenkins and Thomas feel the same as you about not needing anyone to tell them what their responsibilities should be, but I CAN guarantee that if they do, they don't apply that standard to others. Their reaction to Drew Brees being exhibit A. Not just telling him what his responsibilities are, but essentially telling him how to think.
