“Run Them Down”: Instapundit Suspended from Twitter; UPDATE: Suspended from USA Today for One Month
Twitter has suspended the account of Glenn Reynolds, a University of Tennessee law professor and a contributing columnist for USA TODAY and the News Sentinel, after a tweet that urged motorists to run over demonstrators blocking traffic in Charlotte, N.C.
In response to a tweet from a TV news station in Charlotte that showed protesters on Interstate 277, the @Instapundit account wrote, “Run them down.”
Reynolds, the creator of the Instapundit blog, tweets from the handle @Instapundit.
“Ah. I saw it was suspended and didn’t know why,” Reynolds said in an email Thursday morning to the News Sentinel.
He acknowledged tweeting the comment.
“Yes, that was my post,” he wrote in the email. “It was brief, since it was Twitter, but blocking highways is dangerous and I don’t think people should stop for a mob, especially when it’s been violent.”
You don’t say. Glenn Reynolds is old enough to remember Reginald Denny. (Look it up, kids.) If you don’t remember him, here’s a reminder:
And if that’s too long ago, how about this:

— Brett MacDonald (@TweetBrettMac) September 21, 2016
Glenn elaborates on his blog:
Sorry, blocking the interstate is dangerous, and trapping people in their cars and surrounding them is a threat. Driving on is self-preservation, especially when we’ve had mobs destroying property and injuring and killing people. But if Twitter doesn’t like me, I’m happy to stop providing them with free content.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Was just on Hugh Hewitt talking about this. Since Twitter won’t let me respond to — or even see — my critics, let me expand here.
I’ve always been a supporter of free speech and peaceful protest. I fully support people protesting police actions, and I’ve been writing in support of greater accountability for police for years.
But riots aren’t peaceful protest. And blocking interstates and trapping people in their cars is not peaceful protest — it’s threatening and dangerous, especially against the background of people rioting, cops being injured, civilian-on-civilian shootings, and so on. I wouldn’t actually aim for people blocking the road, but I wouldn’t stop because I’d fear for my safety, as I think any reasonable person would.
He acknowledges Erik Wemple’s suggestion that “Keep driving” would have expressed the idea better, and more succinctly. But “I’ve had over 580,000 tweets, and they can’t all be perfect.”
Meanwhile, here are some Twitter users who aren’t suspended:

Those took me about three minutes to find. If Twitter Support cared about finding and suspending accounts like that, they could easily do so.
UPDATE: And now that I have pressed the Publish button, I see he’s back:
Twitter has unblocked my account on condition of deleting the offending tweet. I've done so, but it's here:: https://t.co/DDkZd2el6Y
— Instapundit.com (@instapundit) September 22, 2016
He says on his blog: “Still planning on quitting Twitter, though, after making a few points.”
I’m not sure how I feel about conservatives abandoning a popular platform when they are discriminated against. I understand the arguments for quitting — and I can’t say they’re wrong, but my gut tells me not to. It feels too much like letting them win.
Since he was forced to take down the tweet, by the way, it’s only right that we spread it as far and wide as possible — and so, I reproduce it below.
Seeing what he was responding to makes it even clearer that his comment was talking about self-defense.
UPDATE x2: Reynolds has been suspended for one month from his USA Today column and has apologized. As often happens when the SJWs come after you, his speech was not perfect. I don’t subscribe to the whole “never ever apologize for anything” ethic of the Vox Days of the world. If Prof. Reynolds thinks his words ought to be the subject of an apology, more power to him. But really, I thought his sentiment, while perhaps imperfectly expressed, was perfectly reasonable when read charitably. But of course, in today’s world, we cannot read anything charitably any more. Every head must go on a chopping block.

Hmmmm. Nor is posting ‘run them down’ on the information highway in this day and age.
In other words, he supports ‘freedom of speech/expression’ as long as it doesn’t inconvenience.
His right to ‘free speech’ doesn’t guarantee Twitter providing a platform. Just as the NFL is wrong for providing one for it’s players to showboat against the Nat’l Anthem.

narciso (d1f714) — 9/22/2016 @ 8:00 amTwitter seems to be ready to carry out the death penalty much too readily, without any kind of notice or due process, without even pointing out to the person removed, and others, what the problem was, as if it whenever they do this, it is so obvious that it is not necessary to point out what the terrible tweet was. Which should rarely be the case, especially with a freqent or long time user.
True, they also get rid of terrorism promotiing tweets too this way, but ISIS knows how to create multiple accounts, so it is not even that good at getting rid of really, really, bad tweets, and this cannot process help but be politically or culturally biased. Are they so fast with anti-police or pro-riot tweets?
This tweet wasn’t really meant to be taken literally, and Glenn Reynolds shouldn’t half pretend that it was, and try to justify it, but taken literally, this tweet recommended a course of action that probably should get somebody the death penalty, if it winds up killing anyone, and the Supreme Court allows it. It is not self-defense he’s talking about. And it doesn’t sound like it is. It’s the wrong course of action for self-defense, and endangers people more, and the situation isn’t critical, even though it is true that one rioter fired a gun and put someone on life support.
There are other ways to say the protesters are up to no good, and nobody should be fooled by them, and they should be ignored and appeasemnet will not work.

Yes, it will. And letting Trump win will help the Democratic Party.
Third parties may also be helped, except political activity will be freer and more diverse if Trump wins than if Hillary Clinton wins.
Diverse in all sorts of ways, including demonstrations and strikes.
If Hillary Clinton wins, there’ll be some real (overcomeable) threats to political activity both legal and by intimidation, like what wee’re seeing now with regard to bathroom laws, except more directly political.

You conveniently and dishonestly ignore the next part of his statement, where he says that surrounding cars is a threat. Which is what “run them down” was addressing. It is excellent advice. I’m old enough to remember poor Reginald Denny.

Apparently you slept through the 1960’s.
No, this is just blatantly purposeful, passive incompetence in election season. A presser by himself- or certainly his Attorney General– to defuse this is past due– and now, too late. For you see, President Obama revealed himself to be a racist last week. He played his race card by telling the Black Caucus not voting for Maudie would be a personal slur.

It’s not intended to influence ordinary people, but authorities, and to influence them in the direction of appeasement.
Appeasement is not the way to go with this.
What helps the idea of appeasement is the idea that this is not a centrally directed conspiracy, but just “people”
Appeasement is what they want, because justice is not on their side, and they don’t want justice. They want power or money.

Some people have found a way around the 140-character limit.
You can post a series of tweets labeling them 1 out of 19, 2/19, 3.19 and so on.

It has always been and will always be a fad, no matter how many people use it, or stop using it, because it’s defining characteristic is an artificial constraint and an unnecessary one. Every time someone tells me, “Twitter disciplines me to be succinct,” I say, “No, you’re disciplining yourself. Nothing stops you from posting 140 character blog posts if you think that’s the best way to communicate.” I’ve yet to hear a responsive come-back.
Perhaps our host should try a trial separation, a tweetless week or two, while devoting the time saved to conventional blogging or other non-Twitter media?

But they didn’t tell them to change the answers to their security questions! (Or change the security questions they get asked.)
And those answers apparently were NOT encrypted. And taht’s the rea way people can get into the account.

Kevin M (25bbee) — 9/23/2016 @ 2:15 pmTwitter, i think, started out as a way for someone to keep their – mailing list basically – up to
date on their movements.
Something like this:
1. Waiting for the bus. Long wait.
2. A force like gravity attracts buses to each other.
3. App says 5 buses mile to mile half away
4. Bus too crowded to let on people
5. Found a bus with almost no passengers
6. Can see workman in train station being repaired.
7. Re-routing actually makes things faster for me.
8. A lot of teenagers got on the train at one stop. I wonder when tehy’ll get off and where they are heading.
9. Missed a chance to get a seat.
And so on, and so on, and so on.
Sammy Finkelman (643dcd) — 9/23/2016 @ 2:44 pmI don’t think he should have apologised. I have long believed that anyone going about his lawful business, who finds his way blocked, whether by rioters on a highway, picketers in front of a workplace, or “protesters” in front of a bulldozer, across a railway, or on a firing range, he should be free to continue as if they were not there, and if they get hurt the law should consider the harm to be self-inflicted. The right to protest covers only making ones view known; it does not and never has included force or intimidation, even if it’s passive.
