    Calm down. It was one guy getting punched in the nose, not 9/11.

    Weren't you Trump fans the ones who wanted a revolution anyway?

    Not a violent one.

    A peaceful revolution against the political establishment at the voting box, which we won.

    Ironic that the only violent protesters in America now are protesting FOR the establishment.

    How times change.

    It appears he was struck 3 times with a metal bar or pipe, then kicked in the head by others while down.

    Somebody just threw their life away and will be doing hard time until they are too old to care.

    This is why there was such a silent number of Donald Trump voters. People just want to vote for who they want to, but they don't want to get harassed and beaten.

    There is a segment of our population that is so insane. Now it's not about debating policy, it's about showing up in the street and fist fighting (or actually sucker punching).

    Wow. So the guy defending the assault says "don't bring a megaphone" to a protest and assumes it was the victims fault? What in the actual fuck?
    Regardless of what side you are on, violence should never occur and people should be barred from protesting at airports. Completely fucked up.

    Again, this is the result of identity politics, labeling people you don't agree with, with extreme labels such as racist, bigot, xenophobe, in order to use that label as a justification to attack someone. Absolutely pathetic.

    Edit: I see the new label is "Nazi" & "fascist" now......

    This is bad and wrong. Just as with the Spencer punching, if they catch the assailant he should be charged with assault.

    The difference between this and the Spencer case is that (presumably) this is not a public figure who has a platform and a following, so there isn't even a semblance of a political justification for the "punching a bully to stop a movement" defense.

    Does that mean that the Trump guy didn't deserve it? I dunno. But I believe that plenty of people on death row may deserve to die but I am still opposed to the death penalty because of the dangers of having the state in charge of killing people. If this was just a fight between two people over a personal grudge then sure, have at it. But if this guy was assaulted by a stranger over political reasons then this is vigilantism and needs to be condemned.

    No thread about the Mosque shooting in Quebec City? Presumably because that's so obviously abhorrent that we can't have a nice flame war about it.

    Butt hurt's been around forever. That has nothing to do with politics. The other two, are nowhere close to the effects of calling someone a racist, bigot, nazi, fascist, or xenophobe and you know that. Furthermore, this whole entire extreme-labeling thing started from the left, as soon as Trump won nominations. Liberals started lumping everyone who was a conservative into the racism camp which has now morphed into being called a Nazi. Ever seen a Republican call someone a libtard and use that as justification to shoot someone, or assault them? Likely not. But on the reverse it's completely different, videos galore of liberal left violence; now whether that violence is started by the anarchists is unknown, but evidence seems to show otherwise.

    Being called a racist/nazi is exactly why Trump won. The silent citizens just watched, listened, got upset by being called shit like that and voted.

    And when your boy keeps shoving his bullshit down the throats of the 2/3's of America that didn't support him it's probably only going to get worse. Just sayin'......................so please don't twist this into me advocating anarchy and violence. Trump's actions are doing that job exceedingly well....and quickly. And please don't tell me that the Trump administration didn't see this coming. None of us are THAT stupid.......

    Rhetoric has consequences. You think all of this is happening in some kind of vacuum? You don't get to yell "fire" in a crowded theater and then play the victim card when you get trampled by a panicked mob.

    I don't condone sucker punching anyone over a political disagreement, but enjoy your Pyrrhic victory I guess.

    2/3rd? Sorry, but that's not correct at all.

    The only people performing the anarchy and violence are the "peaceful protesters" who are your among your ilk.

    Trump's administration requires people follow the laws, apparently your so called "2/3rds" had free reign the last 8 years.
