Poal has a ban on “calls to violence”.

If a revolution were to occur, certainly a number of people would need to be arrested. To enforce such lawful arrests, a show (and perhaps use) of force might be required.

But if the arrests would be performed under what people would consider lawful circumstances, would calling for such arrests - even planning for them - be “calls to violence”?

"Calls for violence" restrictions aren't about logic or lawful arrests of tyrants who violate the law or Constitution. They're about the fact that the current tyrants do violate the law, dont give a shit about logic or the Constitution, and will kick dowm AOU's door and seize the site if someone goes around shouting about enforcing the law or Constitution vis-a-vis the current tyrants. It's simple self-protection from the current Caesar and his legions.

Yes. You're an idiot. Is this a real question? How? However calls to violence of the (((state))) aren't illegal as that's how the state effects policy.

Asking the questions certainly isn’t. Would a call for a dog who has harmed to be locked up a call to violence?

According to lots of dog owners, yes. Like said, it's not about our own perception of lawful or violence, it's self-preservation against how the powers that be will interpret it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a call to violence if it's morally and lawfully backed.

I’m not getting into the politics of it. I understand the self preservation aspect. Just answering the question!

No. Violence is force carried out in order to cause damage or injury. An arrest requires the use of force, and should not devolve into violence in normal situations.

Placing someone under complete detention and custody against their will isn't an act of violence.
