So mowing your lawn with headphones on is setting up yourself for an attack?

Have no idea what that means.

Setting yourself up for an attack would be to move into a gated community with HOA rules and then flaunting those rules. Pissing neighbors off by not following agreed upon regulations is not a recipe for personal well-being. You could end up pushing unstable people like the doctor over the cliff. Bottom line, there is no doubt that Ron Paul is a personal stone cold asshole. This I did not know before this story broke.

Which HOA rules did he flaunt? You seem to have some facts I haven't seen yet.

Wearing headphones while doing yard work & listening to this is cool


Wearing headphones to protect yourself is weak & low t. I don't agree with that statement but I've heard plenty of people agree that it's weak but it doesn't matter that people say it's weak and little to protect your hearing doing yard work look at all the parents that force their kids to protect themselves, what's going to happen to those kids when a fight breaks out. I don't agree with those people.

Not a fan of Ron P, but it seems the douche suckered him and should pay accordingly.

That still seems too even-handed and close to victim-blaming. The actual violence appears to have been all on one-side.

All the same, I don't accept that there's anything victim-blaming about being curious why neither party seems to want the events to get much attention. It's not blaming Rand to just be naturally curious as to what on Earth this was about. It's not excusing the violence, it's just plain being nosy.
People are saying that Paul might have hit on the guy. That doesn't justify violence but might explain the encounter and the desire to downplay it.

Now it's 3 people finding yet another smear and yet another attempt to justify violence on the left. I really think there's no limit to the depths you lefty scum will travel.

So you read the thing about Paul possibly hitting on the guy as well? Dang, there must be something to this given your careful vetting of sources. Where there's smoke, there's flaming.

You mean the Islamic Terrorists? Sorry but i put them firmly in the authoritarian leftist ballpark. I have no claim on them and in these forums their supporters are on the left against Israel and in support of the Palestinian terrorists.
Does seem a habit.
