I was recently scrolling through past articles, when I found an article by Elizabeth Jones. It was titled Dear Mr President. Basically, it was calling out Harrison Richardson to resign.
Harrison's response sickened me:
Harrison Richardson 3 days ago
"I see your call for my resignation.
I deny it.
I call for your death and/or removal from the USA"
Harrison Richardson 3 days ago
"or e-death. Whichever you prefer"
This is absolutely disgusting. he called for his DEATH! Isn't one of the freedoms of the United States the Freedom of Speech? How can Harrison deny Elizabeth's right as an american citizen?
I don't want to start anything with the American Government, but this is just not right.
As you can see in the article, Elizabeth exaggerated some of the details to spin the citizens in his favor.But even if he flat out lied, the American Citizens have right to speak their mind and not get ordered form their presidents to die or be forceably removed from the country. It can't even be considered as slander, because Harrison is a publicly known figure, and any lie that you say about a public official isn't considered slander as far as I know.
Please, if you have an ounce of decency, you'll realize that what Harrison said is wrong.This is not calling for his impeachement or resignation, but he has to know that to be a competent leader, you need to be willing to put up with all kinds of crap. From your own people or from others.
I am sorry if I offended anyone, but I thought it had to be said.

I don't think we should get involved with other nation's interior politics.

they did elect obama. 😑
what they choose is what they get. :/
I dont really think an off-hand comment is really much cause for concern.
Though i admit as the president you should be more concerned, He probably has a lot on his hands now, and seeing a message like that around a mountain of legit ones must annoy him.
I know the Harrison from previous interviews and articles and this is his nature: he's very sarcastic and cynical. He once told me, when I asked of the war, that he plans to loose. You just need to know your audience before you criticize them.
*facepalm*
I will type something that might be shocking for some (including article's author):
It's *only* a game.
Lulz , Harrison got tempory bann , \o/ failamaxx

Yes, I understand that. But if you noticed the posts, look how Harrison said them. First he said" I call for your death". Evrybody thinks his eDeath. It's still wrong.
But then in his next post, he writes" Or his edeath"
WHich means that in his first post, he was ordering for his death in RL. What the hell is up with that?
Aeroner, really, stfu.
>Aeroner, really, stfu.
Whoa, why Sadeh?
Seriously, this is just slightly more subtle sarcasm then
"Oh my god you hate me so much! I order you to be put on the gullotine and have your head covered in sour cream and given to the wolves!"

Elizabeth's article?
Look guys, i am not saying that Elizabeth was right. If he wanted to voice his opinion, he shouldn't have gone on a sort of rant.
But you have to jugde Harrison more harshly. He's the president. He shouldn't be doing things like this at all, let alone to hiw own people.
Harrison got temp banned. LULZ
The people who may be stupid are those who elected him frankly. I would never blame a human for being imperfect, maybe blame the person who gave him the role and expected him to be.
Or that the people who elected him obviously dont care about a slight sarcastic comment.
But it's the whole principal of it. he may have been sarcastic about the death edeath thing, but he defintely wasn't about being removed from the country.
Everyone has a right to speak, even the most radical people.
Harrison trying to silence him was completely the wrong thing to do, no matter how you slice it. He is not exempt because he is the President. If anything, the blame should be MORE upon him because he IS the president.
Silence him? I just said I thought he should be removed.. in one way or another.
Oh I crack myself up how many different ways I can say the same thing.
Who really cares, I think its funny. If I was president I wouldn't take any bullshit either! Just my two sheqelim
to be honest it seems like everyone's making a big deal out of a little sarcastic comment
umm
Doesnt the president have a right to free speach too?
>umm
Doesnt the president have a right to free speach too?
freedom of speech has it's limits. His comment didn't fall within those limits.
harrison richardson has the same right to say what he did as the woman has to say what she did
>harrison richardson has the same right to say what he did as the woman has to say what she did
Don't you see there is a difference between " resign" and "get out of the country?"
A president cannot tell a citizen to get out or die. The citizen is entitled to critisize the president, not the other way around.
is fort knox harrison? 😮
Who cares. This is a pointless article.
>Who cares. This is a pointless article.
Pointless article or not, I think we should have some insight into the atitudes of our allies' leaders.
