Thank you, ladies, for standing up for the USA against those punks who don’t.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

By the way, usually the Comments section of the Daily Mail are strongly pro-Trump . . . no one there thinks this was the right thing to do.

You want to go over to them and give them a piece of your mind is one thing, throwing something on someone is not. Remember the acid attacks in Europe over the last few months?

B.S. "Society as a whole" doesn't just frown upon it. It's a crime.

Meh.

Whatever.

The beating of a child molester by disapproving citizens is a crime...but most prosecutors would not take it on, or if they did, only because it rose to the level of such abhorrent injuries that society was offended more by that than the molesting of the child.

I did not say it was not a crime...most everything that society has frowned upon has been criminalized, in one way or another.

My point being...she was not acting as a member of the STATE, when she did what she did.

The poster I was replying to made, or attempted to make a point, that he would prefer to live in a state wherein one is not punished for protesting in the manner the cretins were.

So, there is no state involvement here...simply an altercation wherein one has to make a moral decision as to who is more "right" in their actions.

Because of the past actions of these kneegoers, society is now of the opinion (for the most part) that a response is acceptable.

The level of the response...or what society will tolerate, is yet to be determined.

In other words...she was wrong, I do not seek to justify her actions...actually, I don't care...as she must fend for herself.

As far as the cretins involved...I don't care if they live or die and certainly will not defend them against minor assault actions of this nature.

But I have enough of a "good citizen" conscience to where I would not allow it to escalate to a "hunt 'em down and kill 'em" mentality.

I'm simply debating the vagaries of human nature.

There is a point where the majority of us would immediately say that she is wrong on all levels...but judging from some of the responses I read on this thread and others and in other venues, I'd say for now, the vast majority of "good citizens", rightly or wrongly, think the cretins got what they should have gotten.

Taking a knee is a micro-aggression ... they were asking for it. At least that is what the liberal would claim if the roles were reversed.

I agree about the likely verdict.

And that was my point.

Jury nullification is a real thing.

Some liberal judges have recognized it...don't like it...and have actually directed verdicts in some cases.

But as I attempted to put forth...there is a certain level of this "response" that the general public and society as a whole will accept, because of the outrage generated by the actions of said kneegoers.

I'm not arguing the right or wrong aspect of it...simply observing the quirks of human nature.

I’d like to be a more perfect person, but I’m not sure that I wouldn’t do the same thing that this young woman did. I may be too much of a coward, though.

I have some admiration for her, despite it all.

Hope she starts a trend. If you are at a game and you want to walk out in disgust anyway, you may as well...

Really? You’re comparing a thrown Coke (or beer) to an acid attack?

Freedom includes social and sometimes legal consequences for behavior all around.

Just sayin’.

What she did, while feeling good for a patriot, wasn’t a proper thing to do.
But it sure indicates how fed up we are with these unAmerican vermin.

Because our side needs to project more decorum and tolerance...

The Tree of Liberty needs to be refreshed with cold drinks from time to time....

Wow. You really think throwing a beer on someone and permanently disfiguring them with acid are equivalent? Again, wow.

The leftist woman who grabbed that MAGA hat at her college is facing a felony charge.

This woman crossed the line here when she threw that drink.

So it wasn’t acid, so what. It was still wrong thing to do.

No, but what’s to stop someone from doing something stupid like that? Surely you don’t agree that what she did was okay with you? I don’t care if it was water, there’s things a mature person does not do and showing your disagreement physically in that situation is just not the right way to handle it.

Maybe that was the limit of her frustration. Unlike Stephen Paddock.
