Update: Triggered liberal assaults, robs white 16yr old boy with MAGA hat *NOW ARRESTED*

[umbrella39]

The political violence in this country is getting out of hand and it’s likely to get worse before it gets better. A 12-year-old kid was attacked on a school bus by his own classmates for the grievous sin of wearing a Make America Great Again hat. Yes, these are kids…and kids fight over stupid shit. But, this is a symptom of what they’re hearing from their parents, at the end of the day. I may have gotten into a fight or two over a girl, or some insult, but never over someone’s political beliefs or their pro-candidate attire.

No doubt today’s violent leftists would be cheering something like this on. In their minds, it’s better to catch this kid early and dispense with him before he can grow up to be a so-called fascist.

PFT:

"I’d like to punch him in the face"
“Maybe he should have been roughed up”
“Part of the problem is no one wants to hurt each other anymore”
“If you do (hurt him), I’ll defend you in court, don’t worry about it”
“I’ll beat the crap out of you”
“Knock the crap out of him, would you? I promise you, I will pay your legal fees”

Get off your fucking high horse...

nobody who regularly posts on P&N is mentally stable

I don't know if I'd go quite that far with it. My guesstimate is that about 25% of the posters in this forum are not citizens of this nation. That's fine in and of itself but I do find it extremely curious that so many are so deeply enmeshed in our political system. I barely pay any mind to what is going on politically in other nations. I read the big stuff that is newsworthy but the minutia, no way.

From time to time one of our Canadian posters starts a thread about something going on in their country. The thread typically dies a quick death. That tells me I'm not alone in not really caring about what is going on in other nations at the granular level.

Which leads me to the belief that our overseas contingent are probably just shit-stirrers. Maybe they're acting alone and maybe they're not. It would be one thing if they were contributing helpful or interesting perspectives but typically, they're just bashing and making asses out of themselves. I'm adaptable and can respond in nearly any manner. I can take the shit and I can deal out the shit so it's no big deal to me. I just find it curious the behavior that is tolerated here as long as it conforms to the proclivities of the powers that be. This is supposed to be "A forum for more serious discussions of politics and current events." That, it most certainly is not. But as the third most popular forum here, eliminating it could be the start of the death spiral.

Which might just be the best thing for the furtherance of mental stability.

What Trump did was wrong. What Waters did is wrong. I know this may be difficult for you to understand, but in some realities it's just plain wrong to incite violence for any reason.

Waters didn't do the Dem's any good with the whole "harass them" crap, her antics are not galvanizing anyone but actually hurting. That being said, she never advocated any type of violence against anyone, I just think it's a really shitty idea. Trump on the other hand has a responsibility as POTUS to show a calm, steadying presence. Even though I didn't vote for Bush he at least tried to keep tempers in line after we the tragic 911 attacks. Could you POSSIBLY imagine how Trump would react in that situation?, every Muslim living in the US would fear deadly attack on a daily basis. When a Nazi group decides to protest, (and winds up killing someone) this type of ideology HAS to be condemned in the harshest possible manner by the POTUS. What did Trump do? FAIL to do so, don't want to anger his base you see. If Obama, (or Bush, or Clinton) were POTUS when these type of attacks (by either side), happened they would have held a national press conference to tell people "we are all Americans and it's NOT the American way to attack anyone over their political ideology" Don't expect anything like that from Dump, he knows that open hostility across the US "energizes" his base, pathetic IMO.

You’re smarter than that. “Pushing back” is no different than the dog whistle that Trump blows to incite his base.

And I thought you were smarter than that.

Link up where Maxine told people to 'knock the crap out of them,' as per Trump, otherwise you are just resorting to more weak Both Sides Do It false equivalence. Maxine is essentially exhorting voters to do the exact same thing social conservatives tell each other to do at family planning clinics. When are these people going to comprehend that acting like complete hypocrites doesn't support their argument?

 

[umbrella39]

Very fine Trump supporters:

Especially the bitch eye gouging an unconscious liberal just walking through the crowd trying to get to work...

Do you support Trump advocating violence and his supporters dishing it out at a rate of 300+ /yr ?

I am giving props to your guy, He stood up in the face of a formidable scrawny 16 year old and his single mom and took valiant action to stop the evils of trump by removing forcibly with swift action that dangerous hat he was wearing, and then finally he finishes off his foe with a coup de grace of softdrink to the face.

We need more men of honor like him to stand tall against the enemy and conduct himself honerably in combat actions. He deserves a combat action ribbon and a bronse star medal for this act of valor In service of the resistance.

Look we need more of this to make america great again.

Do I support Trump advocating violence. Do you?

I am not establishing equivalence, but “pushing back” is the same dog whistle nonsense that Trump and the alt-right use. To rationalize what Waters said or to applaud soda assault neckbeard is no less hypocritical. Equivalence is not a prerequisite for hypocrisy.

You will never convince Trump supporters that they are hypocrites.

You will however turn off the independent voters who find such behavior deplorable independent of political intent or affiliation.

Well we know Strongman Trump wouldn't support that guy for his combat actions, since he was captured.

You really want to go tit-for-tat by citing political violence from dipshits as examples instead of exceptions?

What the guy did is wrong, no one has said it isn’t . Violence/physical confrontations should be the last resort not the first. No one should advocate violence ESPECIALLY the President. Do you support the President advocating violence?

 

[cytg111]

You are deflecting. Yes, the POTUS should be those things, and Trump is an asshat, but that was not the topic now was it?

I cant own it if I dont understand it. I dont understand it. How am I deflecting?

 

[Jhhnn]

LOL. We didn’t even get past page one of the thread before the usual suspects started to rationalize, applaud or otherwise dismiss what happened. Nice duhflection.

Yeh, that's why you introduced Maxine Waters to the conversation & associate her & all libruhls with this idiot.

Not one person in this thread has defended him so you probably shouldn't pretend that they have.

 

[UberNeuman]

I cant own it if I dont understand it. I dont understand it. How am I deflecting?

It's just the right winger hand wringing over the nazis/rasicts that their party is and has finally been exposed for what it is. Never their fault, never their responsibility for what they are.

"Maybe the 2nd amement people can do something...."

 

[Vic]

No, you are trying to say that the Left is only responsible once they are equally bad. The Left is responsible for the bad things they do.

No, I wasn't saying that. I'm saying that individuals aren't responsible for actions committed by others, and especially not according to this ridiculous black and white broadbrushing that the OP and some others here are using.

 

[Jhhnn]

No, you are trying to say that the Left is only responsible once they are equally bad. The Left is responsible for the bad things they do.

"What an asshole! They're all like that!"

 

[cytg111]

Noone is saying that and of course they are. Wtf?

 

[kage69]

I am not establishing equivalence, but “pushing back” is the same dog whistle nonsense that Trump and the alt-right use.

Yes, you are. That is exactly what you do when you specifically ignore that only one side's leader is calling for VIOLENCE. Recite your view through that keyhole all you want, it doesn't make you sound less tone-deaf.

To rationalize what Waters said or to applaud soda assault neckbeard is no less hypocritical.

Don't confuse my lack of sympathy for snowflake feels as advocacy for violence. You may have noticed I haven't posted a single defense of Maxine Waters on any forum. Just because I can understand that viewpoint, that doesn't mean I condone it.

Equivalence is not a prerequisite for hypocrisy.

Pithy.

You will never convince Trump supporters that they are hypocrites.

Why would I attempt that? It's already established reality, plus they aren't big on critical thinking or self-reflection. That's like saying "You'll never teach a dog to play tennis."

You will however turn off the independent voters who find such behavior deplorable independent of political intent or affiliation.

Not at all, in fact highlighting actual deplorable behavior to these types has resulted in seven different people I know admitting voting for was Trump was a colossal mistake. Actually, ten if you count family members. Maybe you should just speak for yourself.

Being on the right side of history, science, common sense, I find it tends to help here. Regardless, I think it's precious that me pointing out hypocrisy is what you think the turn off here is, rather than Trump's mentally unhinged affronts to democracy, civility and the rule of law. Seems like the concept of scale just doesn't enter into it with you, probably the reason you and others seem to ignore the violent right's track record over the last several decades.

 

[ivwshane]

Looks like a good shoot to me. The white thug deserved it. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.







Brought to you by our fellow cop supporters who stand by the police when they kill scary black children.


















Just in case you missed my point, this was satire and highlights how the same righties in this thread complaining about violence against teenage white kids, don't give a shit when the violence is committed against minorities. Or when white people are harassed, they make countless threads complaining about it and when minorities are harassed they claim it was justified.

That is simple, whatever happens in the US happens to the rest of us next. If an authoritarian entity washes out your democracy and installs a Russian sock puppet, guess where the Russian spy machine, backed by the "US", focuses its efforts next. You might want Putins version democracy for yourself and your children. I like to be free. People are different like that.

 

[Starbuck1975]

Tone deafness is the reason Trump is our President, but do keep lecturing me from your echo chamber.

Don't confuse my lack of sympathy for snowflake feels as advocacy for violence.

The only snowflake in this story is the triggered neckbeard throwing soda at teenagers and stealing their hat.

You may have noticed I haven't posted a single defense of Maxine Waters on any forum. Just because I can understand that viewpoint, that doesn't mean I condone it.

And you will never find me defending Trump. If you aren’t defending her, then renounce her dog whistling and snowflake neckbeard.

Pithy.

Feckless

Your anectdotal fantasy in no way reflects the unfortunate truth that Trump remains wildly popular with his base.

Maybe you should just speak for yourself.

Maybe you should listen to your own advice.

!Seems like the concept of scale just doesn't enter into it with you, probably the reason you and others seem to ignore the violent right's track record over the last several decades.

You are the one struggling with scale.

 

[MrSquished]

all of a sudden after Trump calls for violence the right is all snowflakey. give it a rest.

i don't condone violence at all but to hear it for the right is just a fucking riot

 

[Ackmed]

16 is a kid? Old enough to be tried as an adult.

Strange, 16 is a kid in other circumstances. School shooting? A kid a child. Assaulted by a grown ass man while eating? An adult. So which is it? 16 a kid or adult, you can't have it both ways.

So many here ok with violence by the left. As I've said before, they left likes violence, racism, bigotry, if done to someone they think deserves it. Republicans, conservatives, gun owners, etc. More idiocy and hypocrisy, like from the above poster.

This is exactly what Waters wanted, people eating and being attacked. She's partly to blame.

Repubs will ride the victimhood train all the way through the midterms and forever. It's one train they never get off.

 

[realibrad]

I cant own it if I dont understand it. I dont understand it. How am I deflecting?

I asked you how Trump was responsible for people doing bad things on the Left, and you replied with something that had nothing to do with that question. You say he is responsible, but, I want to know why you think that.

 

[realibrad]

No, I wasn't saying that. I'm saying that individuals aren't responsible for actions committed by others, and especially not according to this ridiculous black and white broadbrushing that the OP and some others here are using.

"When well-known left wing media figures start telling lies about how "This is war!" and intentionally and knowingly incite violence from their followers, like a large number of right wing media figures do every day... then you might have a point."

You are saying that the leaders on the Right are responsible, but, not the leaders on the Left because they don't do the bad things as much.
