So, you would be okay with it if someone was on tv showing off what was presented as your severed head? And making a joke of it?
Did the incident happen? Did it get shown uncensored on tv? I have two words for you: Common decency.
In theory only. And by that I mean that there is nothing more pressing that we the people have more ability to directly act upon -- or specifically not act. If I could find a way to force the intelligence agencies to show us exactly what they do and do not have regarding Trump/Russian collusion, sure -- I would have done it long long ago. But we don't have that power. So we do what we can, when and where we can.
Please. This is a child. Throw whatever psychobabble you want -- I can think of a few adults crying for safe spaces for other adults afraid of chalk and sidewalks who could benefit from it -- but there is absolutely no virtue in standing by while children are abused.... much less in making excuses for that abuse.
Yes, indeed, many of us have.
Society compounds very real problems when they ignore or make poor excuses for crappy behavior and it escalates into greater problems.

In my opinion, this thread should have never been started in the first place. It's just fueling the division.

Some of the crap thrown at the Obamas was vile and I wouldn't have blamed her if she had gotten defensive.

People don't get it
Sue her into oblivion cause a child was traumatized.
Unnamed sources say.
I'm loving the unnamed source being taken as gospel but if an unnamed source is the source of a negative story about trump...
Yuge fake news
Dismissed
This one though. Real deal
Hilarious

Two words: "unnamed sources".
You guys are letting it slide this time but any other time you'd be calling it fake news based on that fact alone. No one is saying Barron deserves to cry or be psychologically scarred, we're just questioning the validity of these unnamed sources much like you guys do in any other thread that includes them.
Kathy Griffiths is an old has been that needs to be fired for her incompetence.
"CNN has terminated our agreement with Kathy Griffin to appear on our New Year's Eve program," the network said in a statement.
In light of the images, Squatty Potty, a line of footstools for toilets, pulled from air a new ad campaign starring Griffin.
Additionally, Route 66 Casino Hotel in New Mexico announced on Facebook it had canceled a performance by Griffin scheduled for July at the resort.
Then you're basically telling the world you think his child is sheltered and ignorant.

No, I'm not, and I'm pretty sure you know it, because it took a little effort to twist into that pretzel. But if that's really all you've got, okay. I won't try to disabuse you of your notions.
