Point is he addressed it. Specifically. You don't have to do it more than once to be sincere. Also, he didn't defend them so much as denounce both sides for violence. That's not the same thing.
My point was: that if you stir some yahoos up and they act out, you're also to blame in part. Sure you didn't kill someone, but you're also responsible for your words, especially if you have a voice and platform, could even say, the greater voice/platform you have, the more responsible you are.
They literally tell them to go and kill the infidels, wage jihad, etc. Say what you will about Trump, but what people like Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi do is on a completely different level.

ok. so who do you blame for this and what did they do to deserve this blame?

no, he actually suggested that there was some "very fine" neo-nazis and as a whole they were just as bad as all the anti-protestors (most of whom were peaceful).
i know it seems unbelievable but he actually did just that. not in the mood to requote him over and over, so take that truth or leave it where you found it. *shrug*

Yes, but if we go that route, we can just be laying the blame on anyone or anything. He may have played too much GTA, he may have listened to too much NWA, etc.
Yes, Trump says dumb shit, but any rational person shouldn't go off the deep end because of it.
Who says these people are rational? I'd say strapping a bomb to your chest or driving your car into people isn't being rational.
And people in positions of power need to be held accountable when they say "dumb shit", if it stirs irrational types into shit actions. The higher power/position, the more accountable. eg No one's saying Alex Jones is the same as a murderer, but he's a shitlord who needs to watch what he says because he has a large audience and they happen to be mostly impressionable retards

Agreed, which is why I don't lump those psychos in with all other Muslims.
It's the whole freedom of speech thing man. You can say what you feel. The hope is some idiot doesn't take it to heart and go murder in your name. As long as you're not actively trying to incite violence or something, you can pretty much say whatever you want. I would hope that elected officials would have more tact/professionalism, but apparently that's not the case.
Besides, had the article not said this dude was a Trump Supporter, nobody would have even alluded to the fact. It actually takes away from the tragedy that this woman basically lost a Husband and a Son due to his mental issues.
I never said Trump shouldn't watch what he says or anything like that. I am saying I do not think he is to blame.

Basically what I'm talking about, if you have a strong voice, you choose your words wisely. Random idiot on Youtube, whatever. President of a country, pick your words wisely.
