“Next time we see him, we might have to kill him!” 78-year-old John McGraw told “Inside Edition” Wednesday after landing the brutal blow with his elbow.

“We don’t know who he is.” he said. “He might be with a terrorist organization.”

John McGraw was later charged with assault and battery and disorderly conduct.

I'm still baffled as to why those deputies jump all over the kid that got the elbow to his face and let that cowardly old twat sit back down again.

Not politics. But it is related. A hot dog stand in Chicago is commemorating Trump's visit tomorrow with a foot long Trump hot dog special. It's 3.5" long.

Ha, I knew it would be Weiners Circle before I even clicked.

If you're ever in Chicago, go there. The staff will curse you out. It's hilarious. Good hot dogs too. When I asked if they had a fork (the chili fries are messy) I was told "no, you can use your motherfucking hands." :grin:
 
Ah, I see the Weiners Circle was covered by earlier posters. Still, I thought it was pretty funny when I was in there after dark.

I didn't get sucker punched in the face though.

And don't even think of asking for ketchup.
 
I'm not blaming anybody who is the recipient of violence.

:rolleyes:

People should have the right to peaceful protest without fear of bodily harm.

Sorry, victim blaming is not ever acceptable. Protesting while Black is no more asking for it than a woman dressing a certain is asking to be sexually assaulted.

I don't know how much of a victim he actually was in that situation.

This is not the same type of protest as people dressed in suits singing "We Shall Overcome." Not saying the sucker punch was justified, but if you flip off a Trump rally you might get punched in the face. There are probably better ways to protest. There are consequences for our actions, just like for the guy that did the punching. He got arrested and charged with assault and battery.

I'm all for peaceful & respectful protests, and protests of uh the protests. However I'm thinking that some of these protesters showing up at Trump rallies now are just doing it for a chance at their 15 minutes and/or to simply be disruptive.

"I don't know how much of a victim she actually was in that situation

If you flip off a group of baying sexually frustrated men as a woman, you may get raped in the ass.

There are consequences for our actions"

You see where I am going with this?
:facepalm:

I do, and I don't think it is anywhere close to the same thing. Judging by the way the person got punched is carrying himself and gestures he is making, I can only imagine what's coming out of his mouth.

I'm not saying the guy that did the punching is in the right. He did get charged with assault after all.

In other news, I have a pretty good friend who was raped a few months ago and is still no where close to over it. If you would like to tell her this is the same, I'd be happy to give you her contact info.

Who here is rationalizing violence?

You kinda rationalized the NIMBY/"law and order" view that is a basic ingredient of rationalizing violence.

Because people are hyper-sensitive to dog-whistle politics, they're probably connecting dots you didn't necessarily put there.

Great, the "let's rank order atrocities" argument. Settle in, folks. Shit just got interesting.
