Just a few days ago a massacre occurred in the name of Trump. (“Oh! Don’t blame us!”) And what do you got? Somebody grabbed a hat, and two links to right-wing looney sites. :smack: I’ll click to an obvious waste-of-time looney site, and I’ll prove I’m not a robot for a site I want to read, but I will NOT prove I’m not a robot just to access a right-wing looney site. 🙂 Hence I only clicked to your first cite (and didn’t click its video, if any). Let’s see if I got this right: Random idiot assaults a Trump-inny verbally — no hands — and this and the hat-grabbing, is what you’re going with to show that anti-Trumpists are just as bad as the right-wing apes who commit or incite physical assaults on reporters, blacks, etc. Got it. What’s especially amusing is that your right-wing reporter (_and you_ with your “pussy … shithead”) focus your spite against the “shithead” not for his shittiness nor for the (non-existent) battery he didn’t commit, but for his alleged cowardice! 😃 Wow! I wonder if you pretentious racist dolts have any idea how insipidly stupid you appear to sentient humans. ---

> [@magellan01](#): > > If it were just a few of the type of issues you cite, this really wouldn’t be an issue. But rampant. Grabbing someone’s hat may not seem like a big deal, but the retaliation it would rightly merit can escalate quickly. And the sheer number combined with the more serious ones makes this something that shouldn’t be hand waved away. Look at the crowds outside the rallies leading up to the election. And here are two more recent examples of behavior that has no place in civilized society: > > [Vile, pussy Antifa shithead.](https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/10/woman-whose-husband-died-on-9-11-assaulted-by-antifa-thug-when-thug-confronted-instant-karma-video/) > > [Bullying shithead white liberal accosting smaller black guy.](https://clashdaily.com/2018/10/watch-white-leftist-confronts-black-man-with-maga-hat-and-its-disgusting/) [And here is a video of cats riding Roombas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk4XB2wZqF4), which has just as much to do with the topic of this thread as the links you have provided. ---

> [@Kimstu](#): > > Nazis beating up peaceful protestors are mobs. “Sovereign citizens” terrorizing federal agents with firearms and taking over government property because they don’t want to pay their legally owed fees and taxes are mobs. When two groups of aggressive demonstrators go up against each other, it does not mean that it is a mob. I’ve stated that the Bundys should be considered a tiny mob, if such a thing is possible. > [@RTFirefly](#): > > Given that the C’ville Nazis committed multiple acts of assault (and one of murder) as they roamed through the town, they’d sure seem to qualify. > > You can win this debate in your head by simply defining away the stuff that you don’t want to acknowledge, for whatever good that does you. Let’s be real here, they were going up against equally aggressive counter-demonstrators. They weren’t roaming around in bands assaulting passers-by and destroying property for the sake of destroying property. If they weren’t in a conflict there would be no assault, as demonstrated by the first night where they just walked around. > [@MrDibble](#): > > Oh, “liberal” isn’t the tune _that_ particular dogwhistle plays… This guy.

But since it’s directed at conservatives, no biggie, right? We’re not excusing anything, you flaming disingenuous asshole. If you want to start a thread about violence from the left, go for it. That’s not what this thread is about, you useless piece of partisan trash. This thread is about which party is encouraging more violence, is embracing its fringe groups, fomenting these mobs, you hijacking piece of shit.

> [@RitterSport](#): > > Excellent. Now, please cite instances where the Democratic Party or high-level Democratic politicians encourage this, support the antifa, and so on.

Otherwise, you’re just being a knee-jerk, disingenuous asshole. Why? Perhaps YOU should read the thread title.

It is, “Which Party Has The Mobs?” The degree to which the leadership of that party, i.e., the Democrats, supports or incites the mobs is a secondary question. OK, then cite that the antifa are registered Democrats, you hijacking asshole. They are anarchists – if they could figure out how to register, they’d likely register for the Green Party. One party, and its high level politicians, including its leader, is encouraging mob violence. Is it so hard to admit it’s your party? I sure would be embarrassed if I were a Southern Democrat during the 50s and 60s when they were encouraging violence against minorities, but that’s because I’m not a racist piece of shit who puts party before country. ---
