2. They grabbed the poor victim on the ground - no one grabbed the attacker

44. Many cops are authoritarians who cannot be trusted not to knee-jerk protect the "authority" when situations arise. There are literally many thousands of stories like this out there, and no one should imagine being white would protect one from becoming the subject of another.

4. To be fair, the protester was not an innocent victim. Notice that what triggered the spectator punch was the protester waving F U gestures to the crowd. The spectator was clearly wrong, but the protester wasn't very wise. I can see why the police in crowd control mode would focus on evacuating the protester.

Of course... there is always more to the story on an innocent democratic protester...

10. I wouldn't walk at a Nazi party rally and make FU gestures because I would guess what could happen

13. I'll bet you also argue that the woman was raped because her clothes were too sexy

53. He has been arrested and charged with assault.

I was glad to hear that today.

3rd degree assault is a misdemeanor. He was charged and released.

Judging by cwydro's post, it would seem mal omitted some important information from her post. Or posted in ignorance. Not that those possibilities are mutually exclusive.

Yet the DUmmies had entire threads supporting Glick and her call for muscle to beat up a reporter.
