You should know from watching CNN bungle the coverage of Trump following Charlottesville that, even though he actually did, not denouncing violence is the same as defending it. Speaking of your love for Anti-fascists, throwing coffee in someone’s face because they disagree with your stance on masking is the definition of fascism.

This “who me, couldn’t be” defense might work when your explaining to your mom that you didn’t steal the last cookie from the cookie jar, but not with me.

You defended the gal throwing coffee in the guys face by downplaying it. Get a grip.

Classic hayduke move. i provide an example and you run and hide like you always do. Media is manipulated on all sides. Step out of your leftist echo chamber and join the rest of us who clearly see this.

Hay duke has been laughing at the violence and lauding Antifa for weeks. If you can’t see that then nothing I post will change your mind. Begin with the post of his I quoted 20 minutes ago and go from there.

How about the photo of the overwhelmed ER that was being used as a New York hospital on CNN that turned out to be a hospital in Italy. Don’t even start down this road, all news stations would do anything they need to(including doctor video or selectively edit video) to push their own narrative.

Awful to doctor footage and push an untrue narrative. It’s disgusting. Don’t fool yourself into thinking foxnews is the only one doing this.

Right on time and on message to show up and defend the person who instigated physical violence.

Fine, most of us wouldn’t find ourselves in this situation. But once the coffee is thrown in his face all bets are off if you ask me. I believe she was arrested as she should have been.

How are both sides wrong in the coffee issue?

Hay duke has been praising and laughing at Antifa violence for weeks.

If that’s true then his reputation should be in question.

What’s the parallel here? Does a person’s death, that in no way relates to the the coffee interaction, justify an a-hole throwing coffee in someone’s face?

So someone throws hot coffee on someone and they retaliate(righteously if you ask me) and you say they are a couple of idiots? I’ll defend this guy all day, you can’t throw hot coffee on someone(actual violence) and not expect retribution. This is America in 2020 though, people(not you) defending the gals right to attack him because he didn’t wear a mask.

Not a defense of Andy Ngo, as I don’t know the specifics here, but isn’t it a journalists job to interview people, which at times means spending a bit of time with them, even if those people are dispicible?

The word violence has meaning, you can’t change it for your own purposes. The connotation of violence allows for the victim of the violence to defend themself. This is why you see people attacking others who have either done something that offends them or said something that offends them. https://www.dailywire.com/news/woman-enraged-at-man-not-wearing-mask-at-outdoor-cafe-allegedly-throws-coffee-in-his-face

This is where my friends in the left lose all credibility in my eyes. People not wearing masks are violent? That’s half a step away from the extreme left wing view that words can be violent and can constitute assault. The left is very adept at what you’ve just done in the above paragraphs and I find it to be a serious threat to our country moving forward. You’ve taken a difference of opinion and turned it into a conversation of violence, which is a word that has meaning as violence can be met with equal violence. So now someone doesn’t wear a mask and it’s ok to be violent against them “in retaliation”. Its a dangerous game you’re playing with that word play.

I have yet to see anything on this board that I would consider “far right wing”. Right of center certainly. On the other hand, we have commenter(s) openly praising left violence in this thread. I enjoy a lively debate, especially among people who disagree fervently, but praising violence and is a bridge too far.

Sooo, doing what we've done for about the last 100 years with respiratory diseases. Interesting.

The problem is people’s interpretation of the words social justice. If it means us coming together and working to provide equal access to opportunities so people can more easily rise, I will literally pick up a sign and stand next to you or anyone else. That’s a beautiful and I think incredibly American project and I fully support it. To many, equality has morphed into equity and equal opportunity has morphed into equal outcomes. Providing equal outcomes requires discrimination against others, which is just taking a sin of the past and directing it at a new group. Eventually that will create more problems than it solves.

Your credibility ticks down every single time you roll out snopes as some sort of objective arbiter of truth.

Weak. Even by your standards.

As with all things like this, I very rarely have a problem with the initial thought, inclusion of all is important to me. However, where does this logic ultimately go? Why are they both men? Why aren't other ethnicities represented etc etc etc. When you follow the logic to it's ultimate conclusion it many times comes back in my brain to the simplest thing is to just leave it alone. I'm sure I'll be accused of being racist or having white privilege for espousing the above thought pattern.

If you're protesting systemic racism, you're a hero and expressing your first amendment right. If you're protesting at the Minnesota state capital to appeal to the governor to allow you to open your business, you're selfish and putting people at risk. Makes sense if you don't think about it.

CNN said it's Trumps fault so that has got to be true.
