Do you realize your words are as toxic as Trump? You just have a different opinion of who to call scum.

Be real. Blake isn’t legally to blame for being assaulted but she is absolutely responsible for the situation that produced it. If she was not there recklessly instigating the fellas wouldn’t have been assaulting her or anyone else. She did commit a misdemeanor regardless of whether she is charged. That doesn’t mean she can be assaulted.

^^^ Yes. The heckler could be charged with a misdemanor by law. https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-2917.12

What this does is establish that the law defined fighting words, and a court case literally uses “fascist” as an example of words said to a person that could qualify. There is a long history of crowds responding to the Blakes of the past in this way and much worse. It doesn’t make it for the crowd to assault Blake.

Not serious... Dead attempt given the scale of response obviously matters, not to mention Blake was protesting at someone else's event versus Kirk being an invited speaker at his own event.

Anyone with a tiny understanding of human nature knows that attending an emotionally charged political rally of thousands of opponents to loudly protest is a high-risk, provocative act. The court once defined "fighting words" as those that "by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace." The test was what men of common intelligence would understand would be words likely to cause an average recipient to fight. This changed because the violent retort could get out of hand and because we no longer have a shared common intelligence. Blake presents herself as the type of person belonging to the group that champions words are violence...

Fans of Ted Lasso. Memory of a goldfish.

Not so long ago, calling someone a fascist without a disarming smile was legally considered fighting words. There was even a time in history when the public actually had a duty to step in and handle a disruption like that. This dummy (and victim) knowingly instigated this. She was loud, angry, disrespectful, and intentionally caused a scene in the middle of a massive crowd that was completely against her.

Did anybody here or elsewhere say the assaulters should not have been removed? The people in charge of removing them were not aware she had been assaulted. Kevin Bacon say "Hollow, man."

Fraud is not a prioritized reason to avoid socialized health care.

No burka that I'd seen. Yes been invited to his apartment a few times. Wife does not speak english and I did not interact with her much. They recently moved... I worked with a Muslim girl who wore blue jeans inside and a burka outside. First time I joined her team on a large lunch outing I had no idea who it was.

Male. Indian. Sunni. Engineer. I hired him. Managed him. Managed a manager of him. Worked on a different team as him later as more peer situation. Had lunch, etc. for a decade. Spent time in and occasionaly outside of work. We discussed religion. He prayed privately at work. Arranged marriage. Warm eyes. Smiles. Open body language. Attentive. Soft-spoken. Listens without interruption. Warm with collegues and difficult people in difficult situations. Brought Indian food from home to share with collegues. Mentored others and had knowledge sharing sessions. You just instantly feel relaxed and not threatened. More giver than taker. Didn't drink, gamble, make money off interest, complain, raise his voice, not argumentive. Respected where we ate. Hand over heart humble. More Christlike than most Christains.

Trump doesn't cheer the assault. The lady is on camera yelling before she is assaulted (and later says as much) This was not a display of fascism.

Unfortunately this video is still the best I've seen, but its enough. The camera holder is far away and zooms in on this lady. The entire crowd is already staring at the lady. Her mouth is wide open and her body posture is that of someone yelling. The first man to 'assault' her isn't close enough to assault her yet. You can see this in second 6. She isn't looking at the first assaulter until he reaches her in second 7 / 8.
