    Then you didn't understand the question.

    Google examples that have nothing to do with this guy in Albany? Again, you didn't understand the question.

    Lol, so you are justifying violence against this guy because even though you can't point to anything he did wrong, people in some completely different location at a completely different time did something completely different that would have justified violence. I didn't ask for groupthink. I asked for evidence that the person who was assaulted did something to deserve being assaulted. Individualism. Individual responsibility. Conservatives used to champion these concepts. Sad to see them disappear under Trump's influence.

    Gorn why do you keep ignoring the simple question?


    Did the attendee miss some of what he showed up to hear due to the "protestor"? I understand why you want this uncomfortable question to go away of course...but ignoring it wont make it happen.

    The answer to this question of course dispells the illusion of lawful free speech and protestors, as you guys are trying to pass them off as.

    This thread is about Albany, not the chicago event.

    I understood it, you simply didnt expect an answer and dont care for it. Irrelevant to me.

    yes, as what happened here is happening "coincidentally" across other Trump events as well. Dont see it happening at bernie or Hillarys rallys though....hmmmm. Interesting.


    I've already asked a very pertinent simple question, (which noone seems to want to answer),which should show everyone with 2 brain cells exactly what he was doing wrong. On top of this I linked some interesting facts about free speech and protests above, perhaps you should familiarize yourself with them before popping off cluelessly.

    No, I quite expected an refusal to address individual cases and to appeal to groupthink rather than the actual address the issue in question. Your observations were irrelevant to this case. By your own admission, the issues you brought up did not actually involve this guy in Albany.

    Not really.

    To explain what he was doing wrong, you are pointing to what other people are doing and asking me to forget the guy we were actually talking about.

    Let me know whenever you would actually like to talk about this situation, this protestor, etc. I'm not interested in furthering the faulty groupthink.

    The way I see it is liberals are trying to call one slap violent and by doing that they can label all Trump supporters as violent. Meanwhile, they ignore the violence by their own and I'm talking real violence.

    It's amazing how when liberal pets act up they have all kids of excuses such as poverty, discrimination, unfairness, etc, but one slap turns their world upside down. Didn't they catch the thread about the violence in schools I posted yesterday? Teachers can't even complain about being punched in the face if the thug is the right color.

    Libs, some advice; never attend an Oakland Raider game wearing a Denver Bronco jersey.

    True. Next time this happens, the supporter should say "please lower your voice" until the protester finally lowers his voice. If I can't hear what Trump is saying because you're screaming, you're more or less violating free speech.

    We've already discussed it, and your "arguments" were dispelled. Further related evidence of other events held by the same candidate was presented, which you are trying to pass of as "groupthink" and dismiss rather than admit what your side is doing does NOT fall within the bounds of lawful free speech or protest.

    And I've linked you that already as well. So quite frankly, I dont think we have much left to discuss.

    Well, given the propensity of Trump supporters to so easily get their feelings hurt, maybe Donnie could set up some fainting couches at various places around his rallies?

    Yes I watched it. That's how i learned that the protester's face was shoved, not slapped. The protester was looking right at the supporter. Why do you overlook the one that went to the rally just to cause trouble?

    Since you refuse to discuss the actual event in the OP, yes, we're done. Let me know if you ever want to talk about the OP.

    Lol, the only one looking for trouble was the one who crossed over two rows and several seats, and then lied to reporters about the protestor invading his personal space and getting in this face. He got the story bass ackwards in order to invent a justification for his action.

    Exactly. Their antics are a violation of free speech and lawful protest. You cannot impede , interfere with or shut down a message simply because you dont like it.

    To hear some of these people speak you'd think the guy who invested his time, and resources to travel twas supposed to sit there and talk with this uninvited disruption for a half hour meanwhile missing out on everything he signed up to hear?? lol.

    (*)(*)(*)(*) that. Toss the spoiled little brats out on their special snowflake asses.

    It didn't actually answer my question, and you did it be misusing the quote feature.

    It had to start somewhere. If someone got up in your face and started screaming at you, would you sit there and let them scream until the speech you were hoping to hear was finished? Anything CAN happen. "Can" is a very broad word that covers any and every proposed action in the world.

    As I figured, no lies...you simply have no idea what you were talking about and trying to toss mud. White flag accepted.

    LOL! I love how you have to pretend not to know what your own posts stated.

    Sorry to have exposed you as a troll.

    Because these drones just accept the words they've been conditioned to use without actually thinking. it's free speech...it's protest...it's ok!

    It's none of those things, nor is it ok...notice how noone wants to answer the simple question of did this attendee end up missing any of what he came to hear?
