    Saying we need blood right now to water the tree of liberty IS a call to violence.

    That would be true if that’s what was said.

    But looking back, they actually said they that they fear that time has come.

    Expressing a credible fear of violence isn’t a call for violence.

      We don’t give the benefit of doubt on things like that. It’s too easy to try and avoid responsibility by using weasel words.

      “I’m afraid that…” can equally mean “I hate to say it but…”

      So, yeah, erroring on the side of caution means the comment gets removed.

      Same with the Nazi Bar premise:
