[@azimuthbusinesscenter]

hey guys, do you see that rooftop that is probably the only rooftop for a mile...? Yeah let's not put someone from the police up there because why would we???

[@amypainter6371]

no one thought a guy carrying a ladder and huge duffle bag was suspicious.

[@nickf2170]

Man, whats wrong with that picture?

[@MCLottotv]

Lol and climbing toward the rooftop!

[@user-yb9jr3dt7y]

Holy s*** how do you get a comment up here without the Gestapo taking it down

[@forgetitfolks]

You have to be very careful about what you say because it's been happening a lot today!

[@SpookyDookySr]

KZbin is censoring a lot of comments about this shooting. They’re still trying to control a narrative.

[@forgetitfolks]

@@SpookyDookySr Yeah and it's happens to be certain kinds of comments. The more well thought out the arguments are the less likely they get past them.

[@gregorymilla9213]

It’s your tone

[@forgetitfolks]

@@gregorymilla9213 "It’s your tone" No, it's not tone. It's what is being said. The tone of others, including attacks on people are getting approved. Even this comment of "Holy s***" and "Gestapo" by the OP was approved and the reason that they are is because it's not the tone. It's the content or what being said. I have already narrowed down a few of the topics I'm not allowed to talk about based on which of my comments are being removed and which are being approved. Basically, anything that questions the leftist narrative is removed. I can't even risk saying what they are or this comment will be removed. 100% guaranteed

Keep getting my comments taken down also. But not this one 🤔

[@forgetitfolks]

You are allowed to post pointless comments. It's anything that a certain kind of person disagrees with which won't get posted

[@ninod1502]

Maybe reword it without using inflammatory rhetoric

[@forgetitfolks]

@@ninod1502 "Maybe reword it without using inflammatory rhetoric" That's not the problem. I can't even get one to three sentence comments quoting the Constitution past them. There are actual inflammatory comments being posted while cogent and well thought out arguments are removed.

Well duh how ignorant do you have to be to not cover a building

My comment was as bland as I could make it, but it still disappeared.
