Yeah, the death threats and being called a racist and a Nazi are no big deal. He wore a MAGA hat and he is a straight, white, Christian. He is fare game.HardlyClothed said: -
If throat punching one Obama-shirt wearing thug from the hood helps prevent a civil war, it’s worth it.CirrhosisDawg said:If bitch-slapping around MAGA-hat wearing brownshirt youth from backwoods Kentucky helps prevent just one holocaust, it’s worth it.
See how racist that sounds?

I am guessing the teen boi was being a little troll POS and needed a kick in the nuts. Wearing political shirts, hats, etc of either side is gay as fuck. We need to walk back the political tribalism in this country. -
I stand with the thugs in the hood on this one. Not advocating for a civil war, but rather for a peaceful separation and reverting to a loose confederation of sovereign states. There’s no need to prevent this from happening.USMChawk said:

That is interesting. Libel gets thrown around a lot (thanks Trump), mostly in situations that fail the first test: the subject is a public figure. These kids clearly were not public figures. Second condition is whether the story tended to bring "injury" upon them. Pretty easy to make that argument. The third is always tricky to prove, whether the story was intentional false. WaPo & NYT should have been careful enough to parse words in their coverage, but also should have been careful enough to actually investigate the story before running.GrundleStiltzkin said:

You clearly don’t understand what hyperbole is. Are the libraries in Clayton as crowded as the hospital waiting room?SFGbob said:

I always love it when a mouth breathing moron tries to explain the definition of words to me.
hy·per·bo·le
/hīˈpərbəlē/Submit
noun
exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.
Are you claiming he really believes the kid is a POS who is "gay as fuck" and needs to be kicked in the nuts dumbfuck?
I love that you think I live anywhere near Clayton, just reveals further what a clueless dumbfuck you are.
I clearly understand what a fucking worthless piece of shit you are here CD. You're Hondo without the charm and Hondo has no charm.

So while you or I may consider wearing a MAGA hat, or a pussy hat, to be in poor taste at the Lincoln Memorial, it is not up to our government to determine such things. IT IS the responsibility of our government to protect the right of people to express themselves freely which would include protecting them from bodily harm(or specific verbal threats) from those who have different ideas.
I don't give a shit how inappropriate the message may be.
To the further point I made, why are we even talking about this? Nobody actually got violent or violated anyone else's rights. The only story here is that this guy played victim and how certain media outlets ran with that without bothering to fact check the story themselves. It was a non-story until it was a story. Welcome to media revenue generation I guess.

Sure you do, Yaki. But, how sure are you Pullman can survive as a stand alone cuntry?CirrhosisDawg said: -

Yeah, Bob, I jumped the gun - on a degenerate college football message bored mind you w/o waiting for all the other videos - thinking he was the troll instead of the trolled. I didn’t tweet about (don’t have an account) or say a god damned about it on social media or write an article condemning them. I don’t advocate for any harm to come to the kid so of course it’s hyperbole. And people that make death threats (not protected speech) should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.SFGbob said:

But I stand by original point about are political tribalism being way fucking out of hand and MAGA and Pussy hats are one facet of this. We need to get out of our group think and engage with with whom we disagree w/o all the hate and outrage. -
Where talking in circles my fren. I’m not advocating in restrictions on speech. Jus saying certain hats are not a good look, especially at a pro life rally. If you want to wear one be my guest. I won’t harass or try to give you a swift kick in the junk.UW_Doog_Bot said:T's and P's

For years some have said it's not two parties it's the people against a uniparty
Back in the day the left fought the establishment. Then the Reagan revolution. Now those groups are the establishment united as Never Trumpers and keeping a wary eye as Cortez comes dancing across the water with her galleons and guns.
As always the government is the problem not the solution -

Race, as has been stated here you and actually agree more than we care to admit. Now I don’t hate the establishment or elites as much as some do in this space; we need elites and for the most part they’ve done a good jerb governing our Republic. We have the highest standard of living in the world for a country over, say, 10 million residents after all.
The establishment, however, in both parties, (especially the stupid neo cons) have made three major blunders in the past 2 decades: NATO too far into Eastern Europe, Iraq, Chiner to the WTO. We need a course correction but Trump isn’t right agent for this IMO and perservering through his character flaws is far too high a price to pay for draining the swamp. You can say the left hated Reagan but 60% of the country (inc many Dems) loved the guy. -

I think he learned a bigger, yet unsaid, lesson:
The Left will always hate no matter how wrong the whole world knows they are. -
