Twitter Mob Comes For Dean Cain Over Egg Attack Comments ...

Full title: Twitter Mob Comes For Dean Cain Over Egg Attack Comments — He Fires Back In Exclusive Statement To The Daily Caller


“Superman” actor Dean Cain made an offhand comment about what he would do if someone blindsided him with an egg attack, and the Twitter mob came for him.

It all began with the now-viral video of Australian Senator Fraser Anning that circulated on Saturday. Anning was attacked by a teen — who broke an egg over his head from behind — and he turned and slapped the boy...

While many cheered the boy on, citing Anning’s “Islamophobic” views and anti-immigration stance, Cain responded to the video by saying simply, “I would have knocked that kid cold.” ...

He was immediately attacked for “defending a Nazi” and for advocating violence against a child — but Cain was quick to explain that neither of those accusations were based in reality...

“Cain responded to the video by saying simply, “I would have knocked that kid cold.””

Another reason why I like Superman.

I hope he and the Senator remain strong. The vast, silent majority agree with them. If some punk attacks you from behind with an egg, you have the right to turn his teeth into chiclets.

Cain clearly stated that he does not agree with the Senator’s views.

Dean Cain, attacked by a Twitter mob for having a normal reaction and refusing to back down.

I’ve seen the video.

The ONLY fault I can find with the Australian senator is he hesitated.

The correct response to such an UNprovoked indirect (behind his back, not facing the person being attacked) assault (with battery) is to whip the kids’ ass to within an inch of his life and leave his body there as an example for anyone else who even remotely considers doing such a thing.

Of course, had the good senator had a TASER, that would have been perfectly acceptable as well, leave the kid in tetany/rigor laying in a puddle of his own piss.

Now THAT’s “justice.”

We’ve seen - historically - where this kind of street thuggery assault and battery and bank and restaurant burning and vandalism and assaults on people’s cars, homes, places of work lead - it’s not pretty, and EVERY time it’s done, it’s coming from the political left. Progressives, “liberals”, fascists, democrats, democrat socialists, communists, nazis.

Gun up, people, the global(ist) elite is out to disarm us, to silence us, tell us how to live, what to wear, where we can live, who we can talk to and through what medium, what topics aren’t open to discussion (and are punishable by public shaming, reeducation, worse).

And no, I’m not being extreme. I’m an analyst - medical - by profession. Signs and symptoms, physical exam, and the prognosis for liberty, freedom of speech, association, practice of religion, keeping and bearing arms, self-incrimination, all our constitutionally guaranteed civil, human, God-given rights, is poor unless we eradicate the cancer of progressivism globally, folks, along with their useful idiots among muslims (but that’s another harangue for another time).

The word needs to get out to any potential antifa punk, soy boy, goth lesbian, and Leftist young’uns in general, that if you smash an egg on any of us, try to punch, throw a pie, smear blood or whatever your young brains full of mush think is something cool you’d dare do, we will kick your ass then and there.

If you try this on an old man or women, where a punch or a push could be fatal, expect to be shot dead.

No fooling around, no threat, just a warning.

Let’s talk about Twitter...

I have a Twitter account which basically remains idle 11 months out of the year I go up and check it once or twice I don’t see the value in it and I can’t really justify it. I’ve heard about Instagram but I don’t have any of that either.

I don’t know what’s current. So is it really worth it or is it have any value whatsoever? I don’t think it does but I could be wrong. At any rate I don’t think it should be that much of a Import in my day-to-day functionality. But if anybody can educate me on the value I would appreciate it. Thanks!

BTW I do use YouTube quite a bit because I enjoyed DIY stuff and some how to musical Stuff Etc... It’s kind of like a how to resource for me more than an entertainment resource.

I like him too, even before I knew he was a Christian and a Conservative. He makes a lot of family oriented movies, which I always enjoy watching.

Twitter is starting to ratchet up their censoring before the upcoming 2020 ‘election’

Use it while you can. Most conservatives will be banned within the year. ‘The ends justify the means’

I would’ve grabbed the kid’s phone (he was recording the reaction) and busted it into two pieces. That would’ve gotten his attention!

When I first saw the video I had to laugh. As the kid smashed the egg on the guys head, he was intently watching the screen of his phone as he recorded the senators reaction.

When the senator smacked the kid I noticed that he (the kid) was still watching the screen and it looked like he couldn't tell from what he was seeing on the screen what was happening.

It looked like the kid kept watching his phone all the while he was being taken down.

Dumb azz!

Your freedom to disagree with me ends when you physically assault me. I have the right to hit back to stop you.

The Left thinks violence is going to intimidate me into silence. They won’t like my answer and its a deserved one.

I’m waiting for the day when all social media is BANNED. What good is it? It stirs up resentment/hatred/violence from those with nothing better going on in their lives.

SHE SAID and I object. HE SAID and I object. THEY SAID and I object.

Good grief - we have a world full of second graders!

So the solution is just to ban speech altogether?
