That is a silly point to make, but out of stubborn curiosity I pulled up a map and used the scale to measure. Just under a mile as the crow flies for accuracies sake
You have been shown that it was a legal protest almost a mile away not on school property and that the balloon was not even flying.
Your argument has been whittled down to "it is a ballon so they must plan to fly it."
Poking is physical. Assault/violation of personal space. A balloon or a protest is anything but, and is protected.
But if protests trigger a person enough to physically act, again, that's a personal issue within themselves.

So you agree with what Hoyt did?
Had I been there and saw it flying, I would likely have been the one to shoot it down.
Clear enough?

That you would act like an anti constitutional idiot. Yeah, I am clear on that.
Prove it wouldn't have become physical. I haven't seen many of these protests with the balloon that didn't.
Too much is simply too much, and everyone has a limit.
I'll admit that's the best argument the left has right now: taunt, tease, test the limits, then whenever someone has enough point and say "See? See?"

why continue the spiral?
People on both sides do that.
The left has just taken it to extremes lately. If it were the right doing that, I would be calling them out.

Oh, of course they do! The left has just taken it to extremes lately. If it were the right doing that, I would be calling them out. I probably will be before all is said and done.
But that's then; this is now.

The president of the Unites States was at the game.
People have the right to protest the president.
We've all seen toilette paper with presidents faces on it... There have been range targets, you name it, it's existed.
