Didn't read the last 10 pages, but I'm just going to guess it's the same degenerates trying to blame people who don't put up with their degeneracy.

It's easy to tell the forever degenates, because if you ever point out to decent people when they something wrong their sense of moral ethnic will intervene, while degens just keep doubling down on how clueless they can be.

lmao, sounds more like an unfulfilled fantasy. I'll believe this one when there's any kind of police verification.
Should be easy enough to check if anyone can be arsed.

From the article and "Mr Ostmane says his ordeal ended when a police car drove past and he shouted out to alert the officers to him. They attended the scene and two arrests were made."

Is that his statement or a police statement? Looked like the former to me. The story doesn't make sense; the dude is chained up in a hotel room, but he's up to an open window and able to scream at a police car passing by that he's being raped? Then at the same time, he wasn't able to just scream in the hotel room and wait for tenants to report it?

Does it matter? There'll be a record of the arrest if its true whether it's his statement or the police.

People sometimes claim to file police reports without actually filing police reports. If there's a link to a police statement or arrest record, I'll accept that as evidence.

Like I said, you'll have to find someone that can be arsed.

All of the violence seems to be coming from the Alt-right, which is not surprising to anyone who reads their hate-filled comments on social media.

Yea, the only people shutting down rallys, making death threats against the presidential candidate online, and even trying to carry assassinations out several times was the violent left.

It is incredibly sad that the alt left keeps shutting down free speech. Using violence and intimidation to keep people from speaking. It's even more sad people here actually think the left isn't violent at all. The left likes to accuse the right of being bullies, being violent, and suppressing people's rights. When they can't see its them doing it more often. Even Sanders is calling to let her speak, argue her with words on what she says. He renounced violence, which is a big step from most Democrats. Pretty funny seeing people here saying it's not a 1st Amendment right, when so many in authority on both sides acknowledge it is, and act like they're so smart when they're actually clueless.

People here like to compare Trump to Hitler, and America to Nazi Germany. Both of which are laughable. American being fascist, etc. All the while the far left is being exactly what they accuse others of. I'm sure several posters will do nothing but name call like usual, not using rational debate to argue. The fact is, the left is, and has been using violence to suppress rights. While being hypocritical accusing the right of doing it.

No, it's because the alt-right is doing it.

Some people need to get a clue that when they're getting their precious little feelings bruised, that it's not because of their political views but because of their low moral character. When all you do is regurgitate emotionally-charged propaganda and easily disproven lies over and over again, and then endlessly defend said ridiculous lies even when they're proven beyond all reasonable doubt to be false, how could you possibly expect anyone to respect you?

Just remember this MUST apply to both sides. The leftist Progressives have been doing the vast majority of terrible things (their opponents aren't all lumped together, nor all perfectly innocent either.) The "low moral character" most certainly applies to the many leftists willing to throw M-80 explosives, smoke bombs, rocks, bottles, full cans, etc. Let alone throwing punches, selling card-sized hidden knives with the intent to harm their opponents and SO much more.

Siding with free speech instead of hardline authoritarian political correctness does NOT mean that person is racist, white supremacist, fascist, or a nazi.
Anyone who claims such doesn't deserve to be respected either.

Funny though how you always side with racists, white supremacists, fascists, and nazis. But sure whatever you say there isn't a correlation between those groups and your beliefs.

Speak of the devil. Buddy, the very last thing that you do is side with free speech. You're the right wing nut job doppelganger of the extreme lefties you hate so much, and just as shrill and intolerant.

Honestly, the Left is instigating most of the violence and throwing the first punches, masking themselves, ambushing people and running away, etc.

They think they're killing Hitler in the cradle. Maybe they're right. Or maybe they're delusional.

Interesting how you always ignore that quite a lot of them are self avowed Nazis, white supremacists and racists.

No, the altright is different from traditional Neo-Nazis. They do borrow some of the ideas of Neo-Nazis, clean them up, correct the grammar, use complete sentences, etc. This probably is why the Left so viscerally hates them, because a lot of them are eloquent and cannot easily be dismissed as most prior neo-Nazis could quickly be dismissed.
