And, BTW, I have 'heard' about your posting *uh* standards -- apparently you have tactics that others have noticed. But it's always nice to confirm that kind of info first hand. So thanks for that.

Well, I suspended my opinion, to be honest. But I don't appreciate intellectual dishonesty. I made my point, you refused to consider it's value.
And it did have value. The media showed a lot more concern for Obama's safety than they do Trump's. I demonstrated that fully.
If you had made a valuable counter-argument, I would have recognized it -- I actually enjoy mutually-respectful, constructive debate.

I completely value your right to your opinion. What I don't value is you being purposefully intellectually dishonest.
Did I prove the media showed a lot more concern for Obama's safety than they do Trump's? I gave you an apples to apples comparison.
The fact is, the only time I have seen (or can recall) the media even mention Trump's safety is when they reported on El Chapo escaping.
Because a bunch of punk kids making a rap video isn't news worthy. Or at least it hasn't been news worthy since the 90's when gangsta rap first started offending suburban America. Plus, if you insist that this would be all over the media if the roles were reversed, it would help to build credibility for your case if you provided an example of the media blowing its lid over a bunch of redneck kids making a "kill obama" music video.

Ok THIS wasn't my original point. I said that if the situation were reversed and it was a bunch of random rednecks singing a song about killing Obama, it wouldn't get national attention. THAT was my entire point. Which is true. No one would #ing care about such a thing. How my point got warped into "the media doesn't care about Trump as much as they care about Obama" is beyond me. I just see this whole #ing controversy over a stupid music video as a waste of time because the singers weren't serious and no one cares what they think.
So don't rearrange the goal posts on me then call me intellectually dishonest for not reaching them.

There's a entire wikipedia page dedicated to threats made about/against Obama (and Michelle even!) and they are all cited with media sources.

Well yea, and how many of them became media controversies? And those don't even qualify for what I'm asking, a bunch of punk kids making a random video with "kill Obama" as one of the lyrics. Like the video in the OP about Trump. After all, those are all REAL threats, and we both know this music video in the OP isn't a real threat.
So you admit that a threat made on video or in writing can be prosecuted. As I said will it be unlikely but again it is a crime. Now the reason jurisdiction would become an issue is if for example trump decided to press charges he would file the case in New york and it would be New york law the teens would be subject to. In this case the jurisdiction would be the location of the victim. So would the case occur in Maryland? that would depend if lawyers could change it but that aside even under Maryland law a death threat on video goes beyond a casual threat. Especially while holding bats and shovels.
My belief is that we have a bunch of thugs with no intention other than to look tough. But Donald being a presidential candidate takes this into another realm. Would they act is he got the nomination? If this were the president the secret service would be knocking on their door. Who knows maybe they will if this gets enough play to get thier attention

Sorry. The comparison doesn't hold up. If not for this useless thread, I wouldn't have even known these kids existed. Without you telling me this about Hillary, I STILL knew she existed and was a thing. Therefore words that come out of Hillary's mouth are going to spawn more controversy rather than something said by a nobody. So I refuse to accept this comparison as valid.

Teens Threaten to KILL DONALD TRUMP in Amateur Rap Video - Big deal. I see no reason at all to post this. The only reason I can think of for posting it is either:
The OP is doing their bit to 'keep the people as fearful as possible for as long as possible" or, nothing more interesting to post about could be found.
People trying to make a name for themselves in music, as they do in most other areas, make these sorts of comments just to get exposure for themselves or because it was something to say until something more interesting or amusing comes along they then forget all about it. They are just pissin in the wind.
This post is an example of how trivial somethings on this forum are.
Id hardly call making death threats against a presidential candidate in a video trivial. What do you consider non trivial then?
