That's it?
I watched the videos. This is nothing and he's fine.
That he's fine is irrelevant. The right or wrong or legality of this stunt does not hinge on whether the guy was hurt or not.
You're over-reacting. He's fine and this is a non-story.
Again, that he is fine is irrelevant. It infuriates me that these arrogant, self-righteous twits have the audacity to accost someone in the street and grope, manhandle and restrict his movement because they didn't like what he was saying. It doesn't matter that the guy wasn't hurt, what they did was wrong.
If it had been me, believe me, I would not have been as forgiving. As soon as anyone laid a hand on me, I'd be swinging.
If this had been a BLMer that had been mobbed in this manner by Trump supporters, Democrats would be calling for the noose. You know it and I know it.
You're pissy about nothing.
There are riots all over the country with much worse things happening than this.
He can press charges if he wants. Has he? Don't care either way.
I'm sure you don't. But then, are you aware of the fact that other videos with the same guy (the pastor) have been put up? Are you aware that these videos show that these people tried to stop him from entering the zone in the first place, telling him he would "die out here" and later holding him down on the ground and putting him in a chokehold?
Do you care now?
Yea I saw that video. Nothing looked too bad. He's fine.
There are much worse situations happening out there. Not sure why you pick this non-story to whine about. Let it all out though if it makes you feel better.
You saw the video where they're holding him down against his will and you see no problem with this?
And say what you will about worse shit happening in other cities, the worse shit has been going on for days and was expected. This, however, was supposed to be a more "peaceful" occupying protest and was supposedly different. It is not.
What happened in this incident is just a taste of what will be unleashed if these people are seriously challenged. If that happens it will be as bad as Minneapolis. Mark my words.
He wasn't hurt. It's not a big deal. At least not compared to everything else happening at protests.
If I am mugged and my money is stolen and someone gets his head bashed with a baseball bat in Minnesota, does that make my mugging okay?
You've got a fucked up barometer for gauging right and wrong. To you, a lesser crime is not
as wrong if a murder happened at the same time somewhere else.
Why do you think Fox News hasn't picked this up?
Fox News' non-coverage is irrelevant to the ethics of this incident. It doesn't suddenly become a more serious crime if they decide to cover it.
Would you like a tissue? You seem upset.
Are you mistaking me for one of the snowflakes in the video who couldn't bear to hear a dissenting opinion? My feelings are not hurt, I'm just fucking pissed.
I encourage him to press charges if he feels as strongly as you do about it.
You just don't get it. As I said, everyone has been touting this occupation as more peaceful. The residents supposedly support them; merchants and restaurants are bringing food and supplies and everybody's singing
Kumbaya and
We Are the World. Yet, all it took was one guy entering their midst preaching and they told him he would die and then swarmed him like rats.
If you had your money stolen and someone got seriously physically hurt, that would be much worse than what happened to this guy.
Doesn't make it right or even okay.
Fox News hasn't picked it up because this isn't a big deal.
I don't need Fox News to tell me if something is a big deal or not. I happen to think for myself. By the way, I seldom watch Fox news or any news anyway.
I know you're pissed. You have to be to whine this much about a non-story. Tissue?
Oh knock it off already with the bullshit tissue ploy.
Yes, I am pissed. Why? Because it won't there. A precedent has been set and now anytime a group of snowflakes gets their feelings hurt, they will barricade a section of the city off and disrupt traffic, commerce and the free movement of all other citizens.
This is only the first of many such protests to come in the future.
If he wants to press charges, then he should do it. Not sure why you insist on me caring about something so meaningless.
Let me explain the inherent hypocrisy of your position. You keep saying it's a non-issue because the guy wasn't hurt. Thing is, the protesters weren't hurt either. His being there preaching was a non-issue and he neither touched, harmed or grabbed anyone yet they felt it necessary to mob him.
Have you even bothered to ask yourself why they reacted to his presence the way they did?
Have you bothered to ask yourself why one of them told him he would "die out here"? Would
you have told him something like this?
Have you bothered to ask why they tried at first to prevent him from entering the (still public) area in the first place?
Any way you look at this the protesters were in the wrong. They are unlawfully occupying a public area that is supposed to be open to everyone and unlawfully tried to prevent a person from entering that area. They then unlawfully groped and manhandled him and then held him on the ground against his will.
