I don't think it's particularly complicated.

Baffles me how he thinks this is advocating for violence?

I'd say the opposite. If you know I'm going to go supernova on your ass for an unprovoked attack on my family...maybe, just maybe, you'll have the sense to just keep walking away regardless of your beef.

Sounds like a peaceful dynamic to me.

It's not complicated and I actually agree with you.

I believe the point I was making may be lost on a few of you.

Oh well.

There is no excuse for the actions in the video.
Crazy that some here seem to think there are.

If I were that kids parent, I would press charges for assault and battery and also sue him and the food chain in civil court. All civil and completely legal reactions to this incident.

I just don't understand how some here can justify this behavior.
The kid could have had anything on his hat, pokemon, bernie ect...there is no reason for ANY violent reaction to free speech.

a reply to: introvert

Fair enough.

Explain.

Why do i have to think of the following pic when i hear Trumpeteers crying and see them melting like "liberal snowflakes", when they reap what they sow:

Little hint for the Trumpeteers, you are the car that drives into the wrong direction. Don´t wonder about the headwinds!

Why do people politicize their own children and make or let them wear clothes with a political statement?
Because the kid is political very interested and educated and this is the opinion of the child?
Yeah, for sure, MAGA-Mommy and MAGA-Pops...

They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind

But crying when reaping the whirlwind and melting after being the biggest hatespreading loudmouth, while sowing the wind, is a bit embarrassing, isn´t it? Maybe not if you have no proud and don´t want to watch in a mirror ever again, without laughing about yourself or almost dying because of shame.

what happened to talking, discussion, agree to disagree, debate?

Alternative facts happened!

Let us know when they begin to approach the level of the youth brigade.

Well, there are many on the right who attend rallies etc, who are willing to openly talk with the 'opposition'.
And then there is the 'opposition' who won't have any of it and prefer to blow whistles, screee, yell, or hit you.

So perhaps you best tend to your flock, who seem to think that mobbing people and being violent, is A-Ok.

a reply to: SummerRain

Remember, all of that comes from this new bizarre logic that if you talk with a political opponent, that somehow normalizes their beliefs.

Nutcases.

I don't blame every lib for the actions of this one idiot.

The same as I don't blame every repub for the actions of charlottesville.

Nether should any one else.

Call this person out for the fool he is and let it end with that.

The person posting this vid and the media that made it viral want us to hate each other.

Don't fall for their traps. Be smarter than that.

This is not indicative of every single lib, these actions were his alone. It is interesting to hear people who identify as libs try to excuse/cover/justify his actions, though.

What can we do as a nation to come together for sake of civility?

Stop calling it "political correctness" and saying it is a bad thing. Incidentally, why did the attacker use the "N-word?"

Because SJW's are as racist as anybody ever was. And they're as entitled as anybody ever was.

In other words, it was an arbitrary attempt to portray the alleged "attacker" as a "liberal racist." Even though the "victim" is white.

There IS such as thing as racism against whites.

I just thought this post came from a country without constitutionally protected freedom of speech.
I took it as a timely 4th of july reminder of what freedom looks like in other parts of the world. I am sure there are parts of the world where people are assaulted for fanny packs, or socks and black sandals. Savages....

What a fine example of the racists and bigots being emboldened by their president to commit acts of violence. Oh, wait..

Nutcases.

Theyve been programmed to be verbally and/or physically hostile to Trump supporters or generally anyone who disagrees with their poltical beliefs, to #resist. Its the #walkaway movement that are the individuals coming to their senses and it gives me hope that things will get better.

I just wish they would pick fights with "Trumpeteers"
that could beat them into a coma with their bare hands.

Old people, kids, whats next handicapped right wingers?

Then they wouldnt be so violent. The attacker was a member of the green party that advocates nonviolence. I guess its all a lie.

It is illogical to make vast generalizations about entire groups of people based on the actions of one or a few people. It is also illogical to make claims about this person's ideological beliefs when there is no context to the video to indicate what has been claimed.

On top of that, it is hypocritical to clutch pearls about some idiot throwing ice in someone's face, claiming it is typical violence from the Left, then go on to fantasize about how they would commit violence in kind in order to defend one's self or family in a hypothetical situation.

On one hand they go full drama queen about the violence, and on the other puff their chests and act macho, making many claims about what they would do if that were their kid.

It's quite funny, but not uncommon.

I spent many years in locker rooms listening to idiot men and boys talk the same sort of trash, yet when actually confronted with such a situation, they fold like little pansies.

So I see no logic in making vast generalizations for the sake of politics, or acting like a macho meat-headed # sack that talks trash about what they would do if that were them.

a reply to: introvert

Where did I make 'vast generalizations' again?

ETA: I guess I could apologize to the interior design community. Mia culpa.

I did not say you did make "vast generalizations.

I was making a point in general to others, not just yourself.

No fantasy necessary.

Attack a child without provocation, don't be surprised if a parent goes ape # on your ass.

I agree. It's just funny to see people whine about violence from Leftists and then get in to some fantasy roleplaying about what they would have done if that was their kid.

You wanna say your piece, then say it. Talk. Discuss. Something we don't ever see from the left. All we get is screaming histrionics.

But you target innocent kids, half your size and you bet your ass you're going to get an equal amount of anger vented towards you.

Imagine had this been a maga hat wearing guy walking up to a group of young democrats, and swiping their pussy hats off their heads, swearing at them and throwing their food at them. It would have broken the MSM with how much air time it got, and caused the left to protest nation wide. You'd see even more inane violent protests. You lot don't even understand half the things you protest. "Ooooh a sign, can I has one?"

And you know it.

Persecution begins with minor offences such as these.

You wouldn’t defend a child from getting bullied? There is nothing hypocritical about defending others from bullying and persecution. What an embarrassing and stupid remark.

a reply to: introvert

You accused me of promoting violence. I did no such thing. The statement you quoted said no such thing either.

You accused me of lumping the entire left into the same basket-of-violence as the radicals committing acts of politically motivated violence. I made no such equivocation.

In fact, I've clearly specified that the VAST MAJORITY of lefties/Democrats and even some socialists (you know, the non-violent types) are NOT part of the group I'm referencing.

To be sure, "you" (not -you-) cannot be a Constitution loving American if you advocate/excuse violence against fellow citizens for their political beliefs.

That seems to be the going rate. Pick on the women and children, because the rest will fight back.
