Now if only they'd give Kaepernick's tweet [0] equal treatment, to be even-handed.

I don’t see Kap mentioning shooting anyone in that tweet? Either you linked the wrong one or you’re trying to paint a false equivalence.

Sure reads to me like it’s advocating for violent revolt, albeit far more eloquently. I think this is the fundamental problem: it’s all subjective.

One literally says that they will send military and says there will be shooting. The other doesn’t put the word violent near the word revolt at all.

Of course, everything is subjective. It all depends on how many people interpret something in a particular way. You’re not objectively wrong, but I don’t believe the majority of folks reading share your same view.
