'Crush them': Antiracism educator who abhors violence wants to make the children of MAGAts 'functional orphans'

We know one thing: “antiracism educator” Tim Wise is having himself a day on Twitter. The FBI raid (yes, we said “raid”) on Mar-a-Lago has him seeing the walls closing in (again), and he seems to think that “MAGAts” are going to advocate violence “in response to Trump facing justice.” We couldn’t possibly post all of his tweets today because we don’t have that kind of time, but take a look:

Honestly, that’s just a sample. Someone seems angry, and it’s not “MAGAts.” It’s not even necessarily Trump supporters who think we need to be very careful about the FBI raiding people’s homes … ask Andrew Cuomo.

Wise obviously wanted attention, and he did catch the eye of @BadLegalTakes with his vision of arresting and crushing those who advocate violence in the name of free speech:

He said, without even the slightest trace of irony in his voice

Do you know what we should do with people who advocate violence? Crush them and make their children orphans.

Gonna be a busy day for you.

Usually, they claim something is "incitement" (not protected, but a very high bar to reach) when it's legally "advocacy" (protected speech), but here, they're actually using the correct term but then claiming it's illegal.
