You are not the only person to have liberal friends or family who want to hurt you. My liberal family members are very well aware that they would most likely spend a night in jail if they ever physically touched me. I suspect it is also why they have never touched me even though I have experienced more than one yelling and/or crying fit from a family, leftist liberal.
Thank you for posting your experience.

Sometimes I think they know not what they do... honestly. Thanks and good luck with your family and friends.
