    yeah, I felt the same about the Trump guy that sucker punched a black guy at a Trump rally - violence is always wrong, they should not get off so easy when caught

    "Man who clashed with protester at Trump rally given 12 months of probation"

    12 months probation......

    Every poll I've seen published show's that Trump is 3 times as popular as Di Blasio in NY. And I guarantee that anyone MSM can portray as a Trump supporter assaults someone wearing a Di Blasio hat, pin, or t shirt, you won't say the victim's an idiot. Your, "sorry no mercy" will be directed at the perpetrator who'll you'll insist should be charged with a hate crime, not just assault. Double standards and one sided civil liberties is what democrats "do" after all isn't it. :no:

    He was about 80 years old. Likely he won't last much more than that.

    Arrest and try the attacker, simple enough, or do you need full blown hate speech to slake your appetite for political condemnation.

    I don't condone this, but it's also not unexpected... You should know the risks of wearing White Nationalist gear....

    That is a very bad false equivalency. A "Make America Great Again" hat is not even close to a hat with a very blatant and obvious racist connotation. There is little doubt that a person wearing the hat you describe is doing so for racist purposes. A person wearing a MAGA hat is not so obvious. There is even a slim possibility that they do not even know the origin of the hat and are wearing it because of a sense of patriotism. The ire against MAGA hats is political and nothing more. Just look at the worthless post above mine for proof.

    There you go.

    I know there would be some left-wingers blaming the victim.

    "Make America Great Again" is NOT white nationalist gear/slogan.

    Stop making crap up!

    Those are opinions. Not fact.

    The phrase "Make America Great Again" is not racist or white nationalist.

    Stop making crap up!

    Trump never said "send him back" or "send her back" or "send them back".

    Well White Nationalists may be using those hats for identity, but it is never ok to assault.

    Would you ever say this to a raped woman who was wearing a tube top?

    Yet another one that thinks violence is OK if the right group is targeted.


    Violent leftists are really showing themselves in this thread.

    They've been showing their violent sides since Trump became POTUS and the left continues to use the racism excuse without a shred of proof. Just sounds good on paper.

    Yet, all we hear about in the media is the threat from "white supremacy". Wonder if the assaulted man in the OP will be on Good Morning America or any other talk show? Yeah, probably not.

    It's a Shitty Hat in your biased opinion, because you Hate Trump. If a Black man comes into a White neighborhood wearing a Black Lives Matter or Obama Hat and gets the ****! beat out of him, is that alright, because the Black guy was an Idiot.

    Who dat? I said I don't condone it, but it's not unexpected... how do you convert that into "violence is OK"??

    Reading comprehension, I suppose..

    Condone = accept and allow (behavior that is considered morally wrong or offensive) to continue. So when I say I DON'T condone it, that would be the opposite...

    We'll do some basic math next time out...

    So you don't condone it, but yet you excuse it. Sort of the same thing.

    So was that response a knee jerk reaction? For what reason did you say it?

    2 for remedial classroom work....

    What part of "not unexpected" do you people not understand??

    Such an uphill battle in America these days... your vote should count 3/5ths of mine...
