Daniel Greenfield writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\tGlenn Reynolds, the popular voice behind Instapundit<\/a>, advised drivers threatened by racist mob violence from the hate group Black Lives Matter to drive on rather than risk being assaulted.<\/p>\n

\tTwitter, which has gleefully provided forums to numerous social justice crybully assaults and stalkings, temporarily suspended him. And the University of Tennessee has announced that it’s investigating him.<\/p>\n

\tThe lefty double standard is that endorsing a racist hate group that supports domestic terrorists makes you a “patriot”, but that telling people they can defend themselves when they’re attacked is “violence”.<\/p>\n

\tAs Reynolds wrote<\/a>, “I was following the riots in Charlotte, against a background of reports of violence. Joe Bruno of WSOC9 interviewed a driver whose truck had been stopped by a mob. Trapped in her cab, she ‘feared for her life’ as her cargo was looted. Then I retweeted a report of mobs ‘stopping traffic and surrounding vehicles’ with the comment, ‘Run them down.’<\/p>\n

\t“Those words can easily be taken to advocate drivers going out of their way to run down protesters. I meant no such thing, and I’m sorry it seemed I did. What I meant is that drivers who feel their lives are in danger from a violent mob should not stop their vehicles. I remember Reginald Denny, a truck driver who was beaten nearly to death by a mob during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. My tweet should have said, \u201cKeep driving,\u201d or \u201cDon\u2019t stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a flashback, here’s what happened to Reginald Denny.<\/p>\n
