I'm not going to spend a whole lot of time on it, but I found a couple fairly easily:

> Just do a 180 turn on gun reforms. They’ll take an armed population more seriously.

https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/c5og99/there_are_...

> It's because protests don't achieve anything. ... Riots on the other hand...

None of those are the same thing as what was described. One is describing riots, not calling for them..


By that logic, "get a rope" isn't a death threat. Maybe they just want to build a bridge.

I think you're doing some motivated reasoning.


"Get a Rope" is not the same as saying pick up a rifle against cops.

Again, that's not the same as just talking about the effects of riots, and at this point I think you have cognitive bias by thinking these things are the same.


If someone says "hitting the TV won't accomplish anything, pressing this button on the other hand..." they're suggesting you press that button.

And similarly that comment about riots was a suggestion to riot.
