@librarythingtim @GaryMarcus MLK Jr was arrested for his activism.

He and Gandhi were justice seekers.

Trump wants attention and power, that鈥檚 it. He uses the law to protect his interests above all else.

There鈥檚 no comparison.

@GaryMarcus Meh. King wasn't a felon, but he was arrested, spent time in jail and was mistreated by the law. The problem is comparing MLK and Trump, and racist justice to normal justice.

Appalling that Wolf left this up without apology despite the false and defamatory claim.

I was in an Uber with a Virginian driver who was talking about civil rights, and said he would never never vote for a convicted felon. I pointed out that the Rev MLK Jr was a convicted felon. There was a pause.

The original conversation addresses public issues such as justice, activism, and the use of law, which qualifies it as public discourse. The reply itself, while not adding new substantive content, is part of the ongoing public discourse.
