So it's dumb that a kid got beat up for their political expression? Sad!
He didn't, as stated in your source. He didn't get beat up for political expression, his mother said that he did. I trust the school administrators over one person.

No, sad is kids, Jewish people, and Muslims being slaughtered simply because they are kids, Jewish and Muslims.
Nice deflection. None of that justifies a kid getting jumped for wearing a hat of his team. This was a vicious attack on a kid smaller and younger.

I trust what I saw on the video over the school admin and non-existent bus driver. The beat down went longer than the video.

Wrong, violence is never ok. I would condemn anyone beating up a berniebro or biden supporter. I'd rather have a beer with y'all and discuss actual policy than fisticuffs which resolve nothing and is exactly what the globalists want us to do - fight.

If you would rather discuss actual policy that option is available to you! Maybe from now on you should try making threads about policy instead of bus fights.

If you're going to make a policy thread though try to back up what you're saying and use credible sources - not right wing media and all that.

I'm sure it did, nobody's stating the beat down didn't happen. What I'm refuting is your premise that it happened because of his political affiliation, or his hat. Your own source says otherwise.

In relative contrast to the conservatives who keep murdering people for their political and religious expressions?... sadly yes.
He's always relatively quiet on that front. I would hazard a guess that it means he is probably quietly cheering it on. After all, that's what fascists in this country want - white conservative hegemony.

OP didn't bother quoting the second part of the story where school officials say the fight had nothing to do with the MAGA hat, or politics. Sounds like the boy's mother wants to make this political/racial and turn it into a lawsuit.

It was a horrible beating, to be sure. Hope the kid will be OK.

But this thread is BS and a total waste of time.

Then I can assume we can search history for your condemnation of Trump calling for violence.

However I'm not holding my breath. However I'm sure your defense will be Trump never called for violence even though we can show the clips.

This is national news, sorry that it's inconvenient to discuss but it's important to state that any and all violent videos captured against Trump supporters will be weaponized against Democrats. If anyone who is violent is reading this, take note and don't turn someone into an unintentional martyr.

Pardon me, but bullshit. Case in point: you did not condemn the recent death threats against Greta (though you posted in that thread), and you were just arguing in another thread that the 'other team' should be bred into extinction using cherry-picked data from a cherry-picked study.

We all know that you celebrated when your bro shot up Christchurch.

A lie repeated often enough becomes the truth. Straight out of Goebbels' propaganda playbook.

Trump actually condemned the violence at his rallies, lol. Do you not keep up with the news? I do.

Ah so this is actually a concern thread! Hey everyone, @SP33Demon is actually concerned for Democrats, we had it all wrong! Sorry man, we totally thought you made this because you were trying to expose some heinous action by Democrats on Republicans. Sorry for the confusion on that one!

Something that you would normally cheer except for the fact that in this one case the victim was on your 'team.'

Death threats vs an actual beating? Nice apples to oranges. Of course death threats aren't ok, but they can also be of the Jussie smollet type (fake). You can't fake a beat down.

Mods may need to take a look at what you're implying about me regarding christchurch b/c I wasn't even posting here when that happened. Careful

Did Speedy condemn it when Trump said he'd pay the legal fees of MAGAs who beat up liberals? I'm betting he didn't.

Um, I'm inclined to believe it wasn't the hat, but the mouth that caused the beating.

But hey, snowflakes gotta snowflake, right?

In a statement, school officials said the student’s Trump hat had nothing to do with the assault.

“The incident began with a verbal altercation between two students that escalated when additional students became involved,” the statement said.

The fight was an isolated matter totally unrelated to political statements or agendas, superintendent Rex Mitchell said.

“We absolutely do not condone the use of physical force between students,” Mitchell said. “This was an unfortunate incident that we take very seriously as the safety and welfare of the students is always our top priority.”

Five juveniles have been charged with first-degree misdemeanor battery in the incident, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office announced Friday, while citing “some misinformation” that was shared along with the video.

The attack also did not meet criteria for a hate crime, sheriff’s officials said.

Wouldn't the real snowflakes be the ones who melted in a violent rage? May want to rethink your post.

Go ahead and call mommy and daddy.

If you're faulting liberals for not condemning this incident before they even had the chance to do so, as you just did in this thread, then it is entirely fair to fault you for not condemning Christchurch, and I'm confident the mods will agree with that.
Your self-serving 'logic' works both ways, guy.
