USAF retired Col. Moe Davis of North Carolina urged Democrats to "stomp the necks of Republicans." Davis, who, according to the Citizen Times, Sept. 15, 2020, has more than 161,000 followers, and almost 92,000 tweets, some which include, " include expletive-laced, sometimes violent and deeply personal attacks on his political opponents, and denigrating comments about their supporters," according to that same article. In another Tweet he wrote, “Screw they go low, we go high bull***t,” he tweeted. “When @NCGOP extremists go low, we stomp their scrawny pasty necks with our heels and once you hear the sound of a crisp snap you grind your heel hard and twist it slowly side to side for good measure," this according to the Citizen Times article. First of all, this Col. writes as if he was a warrior. He was a defense attorney in the Air Force, and wouldn't know the snap of a neck from the snap of a Dorito. I served for 36 years, and every reenlistment, I remember taking the oath to Defend the Constitution of the United States. My question is, is making these kinds of statements toward those who have opposing views really becoming of a Senior Officer? Are his comments not encouraging violence against American Citizens for an opposing political view Truly reflective of the spirit of the Constitution and what it means to be an American? This is some of the most UnAmerican information I have ever heard from any officer, from any branch, at any level, that I have ever heard.

Haven't you figured it out yet? It's only inciting violence, insurrection, sedition, or "hate speech" if a Republican says it. If a Democrat says it it's "just political rhetoric" and "has been taken out of context".

I definitely get it Msgt., but as a retired military member the Col. is still under certain parts of the UCMJ, and outside of the mob, outside of the Swamp, outside of the mainstream media, as a Sr. Officer, he should still be held to conduct unbecoming when he is inciting violence against fellow Americans. The funny thing is, this guy was never in any type of combat arms, but if you look at his picture, he's got his puny little chest poking out and trying to be Bill Bad Ass. I wish he would come and try and, first of all get me down so he can stomp my neck, and secondly, break my neck. I only could wish him good luck. I do not understand why other Sr. Officers are not calling this punk out for this conduct.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - That is something that very well may not be proven, however, if this type of verbiage is enough to block POTUS from Twitter for life because of inflammatory words, then surely the outright promotion of physical violence for people who support a legitimate political party of the U.S. cannot and should not be tolerated. In fact, his postings are enough to incite. The action does Not have to be carried out, but he is encouraging for this violence to occur in spite of the Constitutionality.

SFC Howard Holmes - That's how Trump finally got removed from Twitter and FB - because of the attack on the Capitol. If Trump had been a private citizen the last 5 years saying what he said, he'd have been removed immediately. This was brought up to Twitter and FB the last 5 years and they said they couldn't ban him because he's a political figure and blah blah.

Also someone made a page on Facebook and literally did nothing but copy and paste Trump's posts. They were taken down for "violence."

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/facebook-donald-trump-copy-account-flagged-inciting-violence/

Someone did it on Twitter too: "Now, a Facebook user has found a creative way to challenge that policy. The "Will they suspend me?" Facebook page was created as an experiment on June 4. The owner of the page copies and pastes all of Mr. Trump's posts verbatim to see if Facebook will flag any for violence or hurtful language.

This is an offshoot of the Twitter account @SuspendthePres, which was created for the same reason — to post the same content as Mr. Trump, to see if Twitter will flag or suspend the account."

"On Thursday, one Facebook post, which was taken word-for-word from Mr. Trump's Facebook page, was flagged, a week after it was posted on the "Will they suspend me?" account."

Zuckerberg was point blank asked about this and refused to suspend Trump's account then but would suspend the other account if it continued:

"Screenshots show that Facebook alerted the "Will they suspend me?" account of the removal, saying the post went against its community standards. The account was notified that if the community standards were violated again, the account would be suspended.

The language in this post was also used in one of Mr. Trump's tweet, which was flagged by Twitter because it "violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence." Twitter also flagged the same language on the @SuspendthePres account.

Zuckerberg came under fire when declined to take similar steps to flag Mr. Trump's posts on Facebook. The Facebook CEO has long resisted the idea of curtailing free speech on the world's largest social network, even as examples piled up of misinformation and sometimes dangerous and hateful language spreading widely on Facebook.

I guarantee you if this guy after he said that and then someone went and stomped on a Republican's neck, they'd have banned him. Especially when FB has a history of letting Trump's posts that glorify violence stay up for years.

If he didn't retire from active duty he's not under UCMJ - and even if he did it's pretty rare they call people back to punish UCMJ. The only cases I've seen in recent years are people who committed sexual assault within months of retiring."

If you see someone saying things that violate standards report and see what happens. If I see something that appears to be a violation, I report it. 9 times out of 10 on FB I get told "This doesn't violate our community standards..." Even when I report something that appears similar to something I got flagged for.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - You might want to review about retirement and the UCMJ. So when FB, Twitter and the rest refused to allow anything through about the NY Post Article on Hunter Biden's computer, even though the FBI was investigating at the time was okay. You know 10% of the people who voted for Biden said that if they would've known about the computer, and Hunter Biden's $1.5 Billion, which 10% went to the Big Guy - or the Basement Guy (at the time), they never would've voted for him. So they suppressed viable news. That's all besides the point. There is not supposed to be any promotion of violence on these websites, yet he wants Dems and Libs to scrunch their boots into the necks of those who oppose those thoughts until they hear their bones grind. That sounds like incitement and promotion of violence to me, yet there they sit - posted. The basis of this is about what kind of behavior should Sr. Officers be allowed to partake and promote this kind of behavior before it is considered Conduct unbecoming. To take it a step further, shouldn't other Sr. Officers contact this clown and address this?

What's a "Saditionist?"

Did anyone report any of that guy's tweets if violent? I report anything I see that appears to violate terms on FB or Twitter. It's pretty easy. They don't always agree with me...but you can report anyone.

A Saditionist is a person who is perceived to be a threat to the government or governmental powers. They generally represent a physical threat, or a threat to the safety and security of the people or the government. I guarantee that not all people that have opposing views of the Col. are not seditionists. I don't subscribe to Facebook, Twitter or social media, and glad I don't. I'm certain I would've been blocked because of the way they pick and choose who they are going to shut down.

SFC Howard Holmes - No that's a "seditionist." Not a "saditionist." I was being facetious - as they blatantly spelled it wrong. It's even got a red underline on this post right now where I have it spelled wrong.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - I apologize, my side did not show the redline and it was quite late when I wrote that. I stand corrected on the spelling and thank you for bringing that out. I greatly appreciate it.
