McInnes assaulted at NYU. Pepperspayed. Professor advocated violence. 11 arrests

[Crumpets]

1) Never heard of them

2) I thought we established pepper spray was just a food product, like, six years ago.

I hope JJC's condescending tsk-tsk'ing over time causes more people here  to agree with the protestors.

No one but loons agree with you. You and your fascists cultist are an extreme minority and always will be.

You angry, bigoted, hateful people will always be a minority. Always. It may not seem like it to you, because people like you surround yourselves with like-minded cultists. But your ideas are horrible and your means of achieving them are even worse.

That's all you are; an angry, hateful, spiteful person who dreams of hurting people you don't like. 'Nazi' to you is just an insult. A 'Nazi' is a person you don't like. When you advocate 'punching nazi's', what you are really saying is; 'I support hurting people who I don't agree with'.

Which happens to be the vast majority of the country.

Because you are not normal. You never will be. Fortunately though, decent people far outnumber the violent radicals.

LMAO, all these criticisms could be applied to you far right dullards.

I never see far-righters rioting and trying to shut down descent. I never see them looting or breaking things.  If someone does, it is wrong and I condemn it.

I condemn all violence against people with differing opinions, no matter who they are, or how outrages I think those opinions are.

The left always labels conservatives as 'inciting violence' and 'threatening people'. Yet I see hatred, bigotry, and threats of violence against me every. single. day.

I can tune into MSNBC or any liberal blog (or 'news' network) and listen to people tell me that I'm racist xenophobic, bigoted, sexism--ect, ect. I can listen to them say that I should not be aloud to express my views because they deem them as hateful and bigoted.

Let me ask you, what's the difference between that, and some right winger wanting to strip muslims of the first amendment because he thinks they spread homophobia, bigotry, and sexism?

Where would you stand on that? I'm pretty sure you would be screaming about the downfall of liberty of such an instance.

For the record, I do think the ideology of islam spreads all of those things. And no, I don't think they should be silenced. And I condemn anyone who thinks they should be.

Silencing opposition - even opposition that you think is hateful - always leads to tyranny.

I just wonder how supportive these same people defending Spencer, Milo, and McInnes would be of American universities allowing Salafis* to speak. They wouldn't possibly say the colleges are aiding "the enemy," would they? The headline on Drudge wouldn't say anything like "Leftwing university invites Islamic extremist to give speech." They rightwing here on Atlas would surely come to their defense, right? You know, because so long as they aren't being violent they deserve that freedom to speak on college campuses as well, yes? And the colleges would be wrong for denying that to them, correct?

*Salafis aren't necessarily violent or extremists. Some can be Islamists, yes. But Salafi doesn't equal Islamist. They still hold some very repugnant views on many issues, however - especially regarding homosexuals.

You severely misunderstand Trump's support

He didn't say anything about Trump in his post?

[Crumpets]

This guy was beaten by these scumbags for being a Trump supporter.


Absolute filth. And those on this thread who support and/or excuse this behavior, are not only scumbags, but are both fascist and domestic terrorists.



No one on the lefts condemns this garbage. Howard Dean even congratulated these scumbags. These people will one day reap what they sow.

You have it backward. This is you and your ilk reaping what you've sown. This is the sort of "political discourse" the American NazisRepublicans have encouraged for years. This is EXACTLY what Pussygrabber supporters voted for. They're just upset at finding themselves on the receiving end. We are all lucky it hasn't come to gunfire yet, the way your Dear Leader Pussygrabber wanted:

The American NazisRepublicans want to spend years advocating political violence and trashing democracy? Fine. But when they start reaping the whirlwind, all I'm going to do is point at the hypocrisy and revel in the schadenfreude, because my sympathy for them is dead and gone.

And the right did nothing.  We have our fair share of crazies on the right, I won't deny that.  But the "second amendment people" did nothing.

Because Clinton didn't win.

They did nothing under Obama.  I'm trying to be fair here, but political violence in 2010s America is mostly left-wing.

Gabby Gifford says hi.

[Crumpets]

But the right-wingers didn't commit violence against leftists.

Okay, I stand corrected.  But in the year 2017 it is clearly the left that is doing more political violence.  Right-wingers don't smash windows and assault people when a left-wing speaker comes on campus and then justify it as "fighting Communism."

People don't tend to be violent when they control the Presidency, Congress, Supreme Court, and to a lesser extent the military and the police. Did you hear of any big Black Panther marches under Obama (even though he wasn't sympathetic to their cause)? Has there been a May 1968 style socialist uprising under Hollande? Do we see massive pro-Putin riots in Russia? No, because it wouldn't make sense to cause destruction when your guy is in charge. And let me reiterate, the people causing violence at these things are largely apolitical anarchists. It's not people who caucused for Hillary or Sanders (okay, maybe a couple) but the vast majority are just anti-establishment extremists who will justify it by associating themselves with whatever movement is en vogue at the moment.
