Another shitlord getting what he deserves for provoking an anti-Trump and anti-American mob with speech. Trump supporters injured/bleeding after protesters get violent in San Jose. - YouTube
More a rant, really
Off to the Pit.
We don’t get to see the actual attacks, and we only get to hear one side of the story-“No, we did nothing to provoke anything! They attacked us for no reason, and we did nothing to them!” Love the comments from the supporters, btw. :rolleyes:
People who resort to this sort of conduct are fucking idiots, regardless of which side they are on.
Well, it was meant to be a debate on what rights a provoked mob has for dishing out consequences. People were told to stop distracting the Donald Trump thread in elections forum and start a new thread to discuss freedom of speech.
My fault for the lack of commentary in the op. Well, as I’ve said since the very first thread of participated in on these forums consequences to free speech should never include violence.
Just a question for those who blame the victim what do you think is going to happen in the general election if left wing thugs don’t calm down?
It would have helped your case if the video you had shown what they actually described…but as it is, we have no idea whether or not the people in the video are being accurate, or are full of shit.
What always happens in these sorts of situations… right wing thugs will step up and people on both sides will end up getting hurt (or worse). It will become ugly. Let’s hope cooler heads prevail and it doesn’t come to that.
Why are Hillary supporters so violent and hateful?
Can you quote the part of your OP from which anyone was supposed to deduce that?
Can you tell us at what point in the linked video this happens?
Because Trump supporters deserve it
This is not a first amendment issue.
Ever try being violent and kindhearted? Much harder!
I hit you because I love you. How else will you learn to be a better person?
I prefer nonviolent and hateful. Lawful Evil is a legitimate life choice, dammit.
Yeah yeah yeah. We all know that since a mob is not an agent of the state, usually, that it’s not government infringing on a right. No one is claiming that point of view so leave that poor strawman alone.
The point is if parts of society responds to free speech and the exercise of fundamental rights with violence than one solution is to escalate the violence. Fight fire with fire and let the strongest mob win.
I don’t think that’s a path the majority of society wants so I think it’s in everyone’s best interest to work to eradicate violent protests. Justifying mob violence as legitimate because it was provoked by speech is being part of the problem.
So who’s arguing?..
Show us the unprovoked mob violence in your link, please. At what point in the video does it happen?
~2.7s. Did you not see the guy get hit from behind with a bag containing something?
