I came across a YouTube video of Robert Kennedy's speech to a primarily African American crowd in Indianapolis, announcing the death of Martin Luther King in 1968. He jotted down thoughts on his way to the announcement, but the speech was made without notes.

I urge everyone to listen to this speech. It speaks not only to the people of the the time, but to us as well.

What do you suggest society do with the guy who posted that video?


In a sane world he should have his youtube account revoked at the very least and he should never be allowed to work in law enforcement again.

How is this not inciting violent murder, of women and children no less?


In terms of criminalizing speech, I’m happy with Brandenburg v Ohio. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg_v._Ohio

Was this guy really law enforcement?

The really funny thing is that it's not even satire.

"The president is quick to talk about the Germans' part in instigating the war, yet he still refuses to take any responsibility for inciting the violence that led to World War II," said Acosta. "It is obvious to everyone who watches our channel 24/7 that President Trump is the cause of every woe mankind has ever suffered, from famine and disease to war and death. And yet he stubbornly refuses to acknowledge this."

Acosta then excused himself for his customary afternoon practice of speaking encouraging words to himself in the mirror.

Gab posted a message on its homepage, announcing that the site will be "inaccessible for a period of time" as it works "around the clock" to transition a new hosting provider.

The platform has been banned by PayPal, and fellow online payment service Stripe is looking to cut off the site. Gab's new hosting service, Joyent, reportedly will suspend the site from 9 a.m. ET on Monday, Oct. 29.

Gab has spent the past 48 hours proudly working with the DOJ and FBI to bring justice to an alleged terrorist. Because of the data we provided, they now have plenty of evidence for their case. In the midst of this Gab has been no-platformed by essential internet infrastructure providers at every level. We are the most censored, smeared, and no-platformed startup in history, which means we are a threat to the media and to the Silicon Valley Oligarchy.

Gab isn’t going anywhere.

It doesn’t matter what you write. It doesn’t matter what the sophist talking heads say on TV. It doesn’t matter what verified nobodies say on Twitter. We have plenty of options, resources, and support. We will exercise every possible avenue to keep Gab online and defend free speech and individual liberty for all people.

You have all just made Gab a nationally recognized brand as the home of free speech online at a time when Silicon Valley is stifling political speech they disagree with to interfere in a US election.

The internet is not reality. TV is not reality. 80% of normal everyday people agree with Gab and support free expression and liberty. The online outrage mob and mainstream media spin machine are the minority opinion. People are waking up, so please keep pointing the finger at a social network instead of pointing the finger at the alleged shooter who holds sole responsibility for his actions.

No-platform us all you want. Ban us all you want. Smear us all you want.

You can’t stop an idea.

As we transition to a new hosting provider Gab will be inaccessible for a period of time. We are working around the clock to get Gab.com back online. Thank you and remember to speak freely.

Of course it’s satire. Do you actually believe that Acosta blamed Trump for WW II?

Yep, just like the Daily Stormer found a new internet home. Good for them. I won’t hold my breath while waiting for Gab to replace Twitter.
