   I suggested they get the warrants out at least a month ago...  finally   
   they start to do their jobs.   
      
   --   
   That's karma   
      
      
   Censorship is a systemic form of violence, using force to silence those   
   you hate.   
      
   Censorship is HATE personified... Hate groups use censorship to help   
   force those they hate to be gagged and silenced.   
      
   Censorship becomes a systemic hate crime and a form of SLAVERY when it's   
   illegally forced on American citizens. TWITTER'S censorship is enslaving   
   Blacks.   
      
   Censorship of this document in whole or part, is an admission of your   
   belonging to a VIOLENT HATE GROUP.
