Ahh we finally get to see the average liberal.

Not the MSM liberal who talks against violence, is for appeasement at all costs, and sports that self proclaimed higher morality with a fancy degree that is supposed to infer a decent IQ. No, here we get to see the muppet liberal, doing as the strings attached dictate.

How'd you get so many stars?? Average ppl don't act that way. I've also seen trump supporters act ridiculous too.

The only "sheep " is you. Pretending your side is different. Such a fool.

Ok, I always thought you Baman's would be all upset at the Mississippians instead of those Rednecks in the Upper half of FL. Lynerd Skynerd were from Jacksonville FL, I think? They sure loved them some Alabama..

Nah, Mississippi is comic relief.

The hanging chads were down in Miami-Dade county, not in the panhandle where Jacksonville is. You're talking to a lifelong Skynyrd fan.

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

Ah, you intended to be funny (and succeeded!) but there's more truth in what you say than you may know...

When our leaders get away with dehumanizing and attacking other leaders, it creates more problems than just their actions. A leader is one who leads, and by definition one who leads brings others along with them by the very act of leading. If I lead someone to a place, we both end up at that place because of my actions.

So when people are so supportive of leaders who are doing despicable acts, it follows that they, themselves, may do those same acts. We have seen everything from celebrities threatening to blow up the White House, assassinate the President, demonstrate terrorism, and call for demonstrations of actions not taken, to politicians threatening to impeach without charges, make ludicrous claims without any evidence, and encourage physical violence toward supporters, to the MSM dehumanizing a President and engaging in wild speculation disguised as legitimate news stories... all without consequences. These are all leaders. Is it any wonder that their followers end up at the same place as the leaders that lead them?

This is the danger, and why I believe the MSM should be prosecuted for false reporting and slander, why certain Congress(wo)men should be ousted from office in disgrace, and certain celebrities should be jailed for their threats like any other American would be. As long as we do not hold our leaders to the same standard we hold ordinary citizens to, we risk ordinary citizens becoming like this one fool and simply assaulting others with an expectation of leniency and an anticipation of celebrity for their actions.

This dude needs celebrity status... he needs to be shown for who and what he is: a racist, ignorant, bullying coward. He sits in a jail cell tonight, and needs to become the leader of those like him so they can all clearly see the path he is leading them down, that others who led him have been leading them down before.

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.

How many single idiots do we need to get before we admit this is becoming a trend and we need to head this off before someone gets killed?

There's been 3 or 4 of these threads on here in just the last week, and I'm sure plenty of this crap goes unreported or just doesn't get a thread on here. Off the top of my head, there was this one with the guy in the restaurant, the guy who threatened to slice and dice Rand Paul's family, the guy in Florida with the Trump flag in his yard, and I feel like I'm forgetting one but I'm still not fully awake yet. Just in the past week, just on here.

a reply to: ThirdEyeofHorus

Is this guy an adult, or not?

His actions are his own, and his to own.

Simple question: Is it right or is it wrong, to toss a ice-filled drink in a teenage boys face without any apparent provocation...or since it's a kid, and he's, supposedly, a grown ass man even if he was provoked?

I find the answer to be very simple.

Oh shut up, tough guy.

I quit scrolling through at page 17.
Where is the store camera footage showing us the extended altercation?
Not that that would excuse the theft

Duplicate.

Those who resist Trump WANT a death. Then they can say that Donald Trump is inciting this violence throughout the country.

Race baiting is ALSO at an all time high. Flavor of the month is Wipypo who call the police on black people.

This guy would have NEVER EVER walked up to an adult or someone of size and done that.

a reply to: VforVendettea

So far as I know, there isn't one.

The mother, I think, started recording when she realized something was happening, or about to.

a reply to: matafuchs

It sure seems like it sometimes that at least a few of the more, dare I say, deranged "resistors" want exactly that. A death that they can try to pin on Trump.

a reply to: seagull



We can do this....again...

lol, you guys in here sound like he attacked this kid...he threw some fluid in his face and called him a name... Were his actions dumb, yes... Also someone reportedly heard the kid saying something bout hanging blacks. But really, civil war....Jesus, some people in here like to blow # out of proportions... SMH, so much worse # going on in america right now, and everyone is focused on some stupid viral video

a reply to: SilentBob86

Throwing liquid into someones face is, indeed, assault. By definition, that means an attack.

As for that "witness" who "witnessed" the kid saying offensive things...there's been no corroboration of that. None.

That video is part and partial to what is going on in this nation...The guy has been fired, and arrested. Seems there might be a little somethin' somethin' there after all.

I'm so glad to see so many folks finally getting on board with being concerned about political violence in this country!

The politically conservative Daily Caller News Foundation using data from the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), found 92% of all "ideologically motivated homicide incidents" committed in the United States from 2007 to 2016 were motivated by right-wing extremism or white supremacism. According to the Government Accountability Office of the United States, 73% of violent extremist incidents that resulted in deaths since September 12, 2001 were caused by right-wing extremist groups. New America's tally shows that since September 11, 2001, incidents of right-wing extremism have caused 70 deaths.[38]

About dang time! What are we going to do about these well-established terrorist organziations and paramilitary groups plotting the overthrow of the United States???

a reply to: Gryphon66

Do what about people and organizations who haven't done anything yet, and probably won't?

On what grounds, Gryph? On "might"?

Other than that, it's about time people began to wake to the realization that politically motivated violence is something to be concerned about.

The "when", however, to act is the sticking point.

a reply to: seagull

Did you see the statistics provided? These groups have KILLED more than 70 people in the United States!

There are paramilitary groups who have stated that they are intent on overthrowing the government! That's actual SEDITION.

I DETEST the fact that some a-hole through a drink in a MAGA kid's face. That's stupid and he deserves what the law gives him.

Same with the jackwagon in FL who punched the Trump flagwaver in the face ... lock him up!

BUT COME ON ... if we're worried about "increasing acts of political violence" WE'VE BEEN THERE FOR YEARS!

I'm sorry Seagull, this seems to me like the most one-sided hypocrisy I've witnessed in YEARS. Some of our friends here were CHEERING these terrorists and traitors and MURDERERS on a couple of years ago ... and now they're worried about a hat being stolen.

Like I said, I am glad, even at this late date, that we are hopefully becoming aware of the hateful political violence that our constant divisions are stoking deep within our society.

a reply to: Gryphon66

Then those people should be in jail. simple. But what about the others who've done nothing...words alone, are not sufficient cause, though there is an upper limit, when it becomes sedition. But that's a tough row to hoe, can't begin to imagine how you'd prove that in court.

Case by case. I suppose that I'm not really disagreeing with every thing you said, I suppose I'm more a "look before one leaps", because "act in haste, repent at leisure.".

Comes to this sort of thing, I'd much rather do nothing, than too much. I imagine we'll agree to disagree, on that. So be it.

a reply to: seagull

I don’t disagree with what you said.

However the “right” (self described that way) is known to have KILLED 70 people in the last 18 years.

I’m sorry, stolen hats, a punch in the face, blocked highways and broken windows just don’t compare in severity.

When I see our friends equally concerned about deadly violence ... I’ll put more stock in their earnest concern.

a reply to: seagull

I guess the best answer to that question is what did he get charged with?

Answer: Felony theft.

No assault charge.
