Stay frosty. Watch the video for the two guys currently threatening attacks, perhaps grab a screenshot of it and call into the local PD (or another given number) if you spot these budding murderers in the wild.
I really don't understand what the issue is with staying informed. Are we supposed to pretend they don't exist because it makes us feel uncomfortable?

Again... I'm not understanding what you're having a problem with here. Did you read what I wrote about staying frosty (aka situational awareness), grabbing a screenshot of the two wannabe murderers and calling it in to the authorities if you happen to see these individuals?? Are you just ignoring this? Do you not think that this constitutes "something productive" or "tangible action" (your terms)?? Should we outlaw any type of citizen alerts?? Bunch of felons break out of a prison and we just shouldn't discuss it?? To hell with see-something-say-something??
I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but I truly don't know where you're coming from here. Are you concerned that telling people what these guys said is going to cause people to attack random black people? If so, state that clearly. While we do have shills here trying their ignorant best to promote racism and every other kind of filth, I hardly think anons on this site are going to start hating on blacks because a couple of misguided young black men are mouthing off about killing whitey. I sure as hell am not going to cower in fear if I see a couple black youths walking into the local convenience store. And I sure as shit don't think the two numbskulls in the video are at all indicative of black men. Sure, people can throw stats at me - and I do, actually, like data - but I refuse to condemn all black males (or females) for the actions (or words, in this case) of the worst of this subgroup.
The poster explicitly stated that this is BLM's legacy. I'd posit that these may very well be antifa thugs.
If people follow the recommendation in the article - to look out for these individuals and call in to the given PD number if you know who they are or see them - yes, it will decrease racial tension by potentially avoiding another shooting spree. Involving the community in tracking down the violent racists of ANY color is, to my mind, a sound strategy.
Right smack in the middle of the article. I don't know how to grab a screenshot of that to include in a comment, but this is what's clearly in the article:
Look, the rabid marxists have been trying for quite a long time to incite race wars and very few people are like these two numbskulls (or perhaps they're paid agitators) to actually embrace this garbage. The average black person is not racist.
The average white person is not racist, but I imagine that they'll steer clear of Memphis if they live in that area until those two bozos are caught. Also refer to my other two replies inre involving the community and the link to the pictures of these guys and the phone number to call at the PD.
You obviously feel very strongly that this post is somehow reckless. I'm curious as to what you feel should be communicated about this situation. Do you think it shouldn't have been brought to anyone's attention at all? That it should, but that the title should have been written differently and/or formatted to included more calm, reasoned guidance in the body of the post with the link in there?

Information is useless if it cannot be applied to something productive.
For Example: I am an entrepreneur who has tons or books.
Which book on which topic should I read?
Not all information is useful because I cannot convert it.
So I pick books that I can actually do something with:
Being informed doesn’t mean anything if no tangible action can be applied to it.
Also.. content that invoke negative emotions without a positive balancing act/
Is a psychological deficit in my view.

Please clarify what your concerns are here.
And one other question.
Are you saying this post is going to actually DECREASE racial tension??? Do you really believe that?
The poster explicitly stated that this is BLM's legacy. I'd posit that these may very well be antifa thugs.

You are stating an action plan.
Where in the original post is the action plan?
Right smack in the middle of the article. I don't know how to grab a screenshot of that to include in a comment, but this is what's clearly in the article:

The post says
"BLM’S LEGACY: Terror Besieges Memphis as Thugs Threaten Killing Spree on White People After Gruesome Livestreamed Murders"
Since that's all it says.
Let me ask you.
How do you think the average white person is going to respond to reading this?
