    The legality of it is easy enough to understand. They are discussing whether violence is an acceptable form of protest. This is just like discussing whether we should go to war, or if police officers should be allowed to use lethal force. Was it okay for Zimmerman to shoot Martin?

    It's the same thing.

    However, I'm guessing that a lawyer probably did have to edit the piece because many on the left have, I believe, gone quite mad in recent months. It wouldn't surprise me to find feminists waving ISIL flags on university campuses, and the MSM calling for nobel peace prizes to be awarded for their bravery.

    It was not my intention to slander the huffington post on its stances and don't believe I have, though if they allow a writer to legitimize the use of violent resistance it is different from any other media outlet, as I have never seen this type of language before in American media.

    First of all this isn't a "Major News Media Outlet". Sheesh. It's Huffington Post, a website. And it's a blog on the Huffington Post for crying out loud.

    Get a grip.

    Libs are just taking a page out of the ISIS handbook.

Fox's cumulative audience (unique viewers who watched at least 60 minutes in an average month) was 41.1 million, coming in second to CNN with 41.7 million. For 2010, CNN's digital network continued to lead Fox's digital network online; CNN with 35.7 million unique visitors per month, compared to Fox's 15.5 million. For the first time Fox outspent its competitors, with a total news investment of $686 million. 72% of this investment went to program costs,
