In the midst of last night’s riots in Ferguson, Mo,. CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill poured a little gas on the fire with his tweet, above, accusing police and vigilantes of domestic terrorism.
He also served up these thoughtful tweets:

I'm amazed at all the people who are "outraged" and "disgusted" at the loss of property, yet don't lose any sleep over a dead teenager.

Kind of exciting, eh Professor Hill?
Of course, he insists he wasn’t condoning last night’s riots. Heavens, no!
I don't endorse the riots in Ferguson. Again, I think they instigate State violence. But I won't spend a minute criticizing people's anger.

That was good enough for this supporter:
@marclamonthill No one thinks you do. We all saw the conservative trying to bait you and twist your words.

“Twist your words” = quote verbatim.
