FAKE vs. REAL ASSAULT ....
Posted on 08/02/2019 6:48:41 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Are we entering a period of political violence? A time when thugs aligned either with governments or embittered out-of-power revanchists determine the political discourse? You'd think all political parties would be right there to condemn violent thuggery in place of what they supposedly stand for, which is peaceful democratic transitions.
So the latest news is that a New York gallery owner, Jalangir Turan, was assaulted by a thug or group of thugs, identified as "teens" in some reports, for his wearing a red MAGA hat. Here is the video:
The New York Post has signaled some skepticism about the man's story, putting the word 'claims' in its headline, and noting that the original police report didn't have a note about a MAGA hat, and the report said the attacker was a single person, not a group of teens. The man also declined medical treatment at the scene of the crime. The Post began like this:
A man claimed he was attacked by a group of teenagers in Lower Manhattan because he was wearing a MAGA hat, according to reports.
Jahangir Turan, 42, told CBS New York he was walking on Canal Street near Greene Street shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday while wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat when he was roughed up by more than a dozen teens, who cursed at him as they confronted him.
The kids shouted “F–k Trump” during the attack, according to Fox 5 NY.
Turan, who bought the hat earlier that day, said he suffered a broken cheekbone and a black eye.
“I love President Trump. I think he’s doing a great job,” the alleged victim told Fox.

GREAT example. Thanks for posting.
Virtue signaling to violence signaling. It’s just a shot away.

Take notes and remember. In 6 years it could very well be “our turn” to “resist”. Like everything else, I expect we can do it better than they can.
“OOOoooh, Shelter, it’s just a shot away...”
Rather, where is the US DOJ in light of these civil rights violations? Trump also needs to speak (no, shout) out about these attacks on his supporters.
That headline’s funny. I thought a Trump Supporter was reporting the news that Bill DeBlasio was violently assaulted in Manhattan.
Another Stones’ song is more appropriate:
Don’t you know the crime rate is going up, up, up, up, up
To live in this town you must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough!
You got rats on the West Side
Bed bugs uptown
What a mess this town’s in tatters, I’ve been shattered
My brain’s been battered, splattered all over Manhattan
Sha oobie, shattered, shattered, what say
Sha oobie, shattered
Sha oobie, shattered
Sha oobie, shattered
Uh-huh, this town’s full of money grabbers
Go ahead, bite the Big Apple, don’t mind the maggots, huh
Sha oobie, my brain’s been battered
My friends they come around they
Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter
Pile it up, pile it up, pile high on the platter
That’s what I thought, too!
Clearly this assault doesn’t count. The liberal view is that someone wearing a MAGA hat is itself triggering, and thus it’s the victim’s fault that he got beaten up.
When I first glanced at the headline I thought Blasio had been assaulted, and I have to admit I thought there is some justice in the world.
I don’t wear my Trump hat in public - only around my Trump-hating relatives.
Yes. At first glance, I thought something about DeBlasio being hurt (which seemed unlikely).
De Blasio was assaulted?
More journalistic malpractice.
The Hitler Youth is on the march.
I watched the first of the Why We Fight movies by Frank Capra for WWII.
Not simple propaganda. Shows origins of young people in 1930s and 1940s Germany, Japan and Italy being influenced to give their entire lives for the glory of their state and leaders. Unquestioning about killing the Allies later on.
Dems have been taught to hate business leaders, capitalists, males, whites and Trump.
Next step is what to do about us. Dangers ahead.
The Dem’s are going to have to get more and more vicious with each other, as they’re all the same. Sure, they’re playing nice(kinda) with each other now, but as the months drag on and no one drops out, their claws are going to come out. That will, in turn, embolden their supporters and it will get ugly.
2020 is going to be a rough year in America. The Left, as they become more and more insane, and drive more and more people away, will start to ratchet up their behavior. If it looks like the President is going to be re-elected, God willing, they’re going to try and burn the country to the ground. I fear what will be happening next fall, leading up to election day. I think that two morons, from the Black Panthers, standing in front of a voting location will be small change.
ABSOLUTELY! Be prepared.
The administration really should issue travel warnings for these third-world countries.
A Better Question. Who’s Bill DeBlasio?
“”” Bill de Blasio (in 1999 photo) was born Warren Wilhelm Jr. In 1983, he legally changed his name to Warren de Blasio-Wilhelm. In 2002, he legally changed it again, to Bill de Blasio. “””
