An editor at Vox has been suspended for urging people to riot in the event Donald Trump comes to their town.
“Direct encouragement of riots crosses a line between expressing a contrary opinion and directly encouraging dangerous, illegal activity,” writes Ezra Klein in a post on the site published Friday afternoon. “We welcome a variety of viewpoints, but we do not condone writing that could put others in danger.
The comments were made by Emmett Rensin, deputy editor of Vox’s first person section, in a series of tweets Thursday night.
Advice: If Trump comes to your town, start a riot.

Rensin later clarified that violence against people is “categorically immoral,” but said” property destruction is vastly more negotiable.”
