Children assaulted at Whataburger for wearing maga hat Civility abandoned....

a reply to: JinMI

How did the kid deserve to be bullied? Please explain.

How would she have known to start taping before it started getting ugly? Of course the beginning won’t be on tape bc she didn’t start taping until something started happening....

Don't make me spoon feed you:

Viral video: Teen says he was attacked for wearing 'Make American Great Again' hat

"Teen says." Teens say lots of things.

Jesus Christ what's wrong with W00

Justifying this attack and calling it fake when it's evidently very real

Trump Derangment Sundrone administered by lethal dose of PSYWAR CNN

Stick your fingers in your ears and say la la la la la la la la

I don’t get why ppl don’t understand the mother would not have known to start taping until after the incident started? Thus, there would not be a way to see “how this all began.”

P.S. I know you’re not saying that but were responding to someone else. I’m agreeing with you.

Yes, my thought too. People start video when something goes bad. Just one of those instant blow up situations.

Whoa, wait... he was an employee?

In a perfect world, he would never get another job.... anywhere...

He just took his cue from the little Red Hen. A bit clucky I must say.

Oh, so what he did could be justified. The kid planned this while eating with his friends! Never ceased to be amazed.

I'll extend an olive branch and won't call him a leftist, rather a disturbed individual.

I agree. I don't think this is an example of leftist behavior, but rather it seems to be an example of a-hole behavior.

I can't understand why some posters on this thread can't fathom that a person (leftist, right-wing, white, black, Asian, Hispanic, man, woman, rich, poor, religious, atheist, or whatever) can be an a-hole like the guy in this video who stole the hat seems to be.

There are plenty of a-holes out there from all walks of life; why fight so hard to attempt to prove this guy can't possibly be one of them?

Yah unless you look at who exactly hates Maga hats and everyone associated with Trump...

What?

It doesn't seem that these kids planned to provoke this incident. Is that something new that came to light?

Sarcasm.

Look at the post being replied to.

I'm gonna let you in on a secret most adults already understand.

Nothing someone says to you justifies assault. Words are just words. It doesn't matter how it started. He had no legitimate grounds to commit assault and theft.

I think the point is about why the video is so short.

I'm aware of that. My point is that regardless of what preceded what's on the video, nothing justifies what the guy did. If it did, he wouldn't be facing charges. The fact that people are trying to rationalize this behavior is scary.

Um I’m 50 and I think you misunderstood.

I TOTALLY agree with you. I was replying to the ppl who were saying the kids did something first and wanted to see the “whole video.” My point was that there was no reason that this wasn’t the whole video bc the mom wouldn’t have started taping until the guy started harassing her kid.

I agree nothing would justify what he did to the kids but I was answering a specific couple of posters who were doubting the whole story because the video only showed the harassment toward the kids.

My mistake. I'm too tired to follow that exchange, I was confused on who was claiming what. Apologies.

Why would you say that? Our point was the opposite... the mom only started taping when something (the man harassing her kid) DID start happening.

a reply to: valve

No worries. It is a long thread and it can be hard to figure out what means what from a few posts. All good.

a reply to: face23785

We've clearly defined when the Right has gone too far. I think it's time we apply the same discretion to the Left, before things really get out of hand.

To all who say this is fake please do some research. The man has been arrested and charged and is out on bail. I seriously doubt if this is fake the friend would let this guy take a criminal charge.

Obviously the guy was an idiot. Deserving of being charged.. fired, etc. No need to blow this up.. groups love to latch onto actions of a single idiot, and try to apply it onto an entire demographic. Lame tactic.

Guy deserves whatever fate he earned by being a bullying douche. Also stop treating kids like they are Faberge eggs. "omg they will be traumatized for LIFE!" Yea.. not so much. Ice in their face? Probably encounter that in any given week in school. The politicizing of incidents like this is sickening. Was it wrong? Yup. Should be guy be held accountable? Yea.. sure should.

But holy crap.. "If my kid there would be blood!" ... "Civil war, so be it!".. etc. No one was murdered.. or even injured.. or even HURT for cripes sake. Stop using an isolated incident to try to push your political agenda. And I mean both sides. Won't help a damn thing.
