In this case one group of people with similar political views is creating a safe space by silencing their opponents and preventing an inconvenient discussion. It is hard to see it any other way.
They'd rather flag and stifle discussion than let people know that her actions didn't rise to the level of criminal charges. It is sad. It's also exactly what I've come to expect. People scream about the liberal media, and yet here we are watching a pro-liberal (in theory... i guess... maybe just not anti-liberal) story get censored as fast as they get posted.
