College students posting memes online is not the same as a crowd of people (some armed) forcing their way into a government building chanting "Hang Mike Pence" knowing that Mike Pence was inside.

Be serious.

I am serious, given the chance I believe these students would assassinate an ice agent.

Do you see how you are on the lower end of a slippery slope?

If you don't understand the difference between a credible, immediate threat to someone's life and someone posting a meme online you're too uninformed to be having this conversation and I won't be responding further.

And when they do, they should be charged.

I wouldn't bother. denuoweb2 is trying to circumvent bans or something I don't know by creating second accounts or more. I don't know why or maybe they know they are losing karma or something, I don't know, but they are lying and acting 100% like a troll. I wouldn't engage and just flag them. They aren't worth investing time or energy in.
