    Nice. Classic.

    I had an assignment to work in Kazakhstan once. It was about a 24h trip to the location from from Houston. Office was dominated by Brits, Yanks were few and far between. I couldn't find coffee for a week. Had an early morning headache without it the entire time. The tea wasn't working. Day 3 I think I found some coffee but no way to brew it, so I just tossed it into the hot water and learned that if you just let it steep long enough the grounds will all saturate with water and stay on the bottom. The first cup or two I couldn't wait that long. I just filtered the grounds with my teeth.

    Finally by the second week I found the Yank coffee pot. That was the beginning of one my life's greatest adventures that culminated in a trip to the Dolomites with an amazing view of a blue cone of light reflected into the sky from Lake Molveno.

    the white gentleman had the right to stand his ground in states such as florida and texas.

    he was peacefully protesting until the black guy used violence with a deadly weapon.

    that was clearly a federal agent, secondly freedom of speech should never be met with violence.

    Then again a limited understanding of words might be something you google BEFORE making such a claim ;)

    See anything above you may have missed ;)

    White ******? Black guy in a mask minding his own business? In a gas station? White guy met floor?

    I think it was the same video...

    Clear self defense, based on the NEW AND IMPROVED conservative definition of self defense....

    I found that sufficient... as did Vanilla Ice there.....

    I always thought I should have been.... probably too late now....

    Don't know if I'd trot that definition out for Kyle the Klown however...

    According to liberals it's okay to punch a "nazi". This is the problem with this type of rhetoric is it encourages violence. Of course what the white guy did was wrong and should be condemned, but he was just being a drunken idiot. If you don't like something someone is saying just exit the situation. If he follows then defend yourself. I understand liberals hate racism but encouraging people, especially black people, to commit violence because their feelings hurt is not good for society. Due to overwhelming crime statistics, people already have a view of black men being violent. This only furthers that view. This is a first world society. We deal with issues with words and laws. If you want to walk around like a caveman and bonk people on the head all day go move to Africa or some other third world ***** hole

    liberals do not think that, I have been quite clear on that, violence is not the answer, the answer was to call the cops unless he became a real threat and self defense was needed - maybe some liberals think that, not all - just like some Republicans think violence is the answer, both are wrong

    if the drunk man was black and talking sit, I would say the same thing if the one bashing him with a can along the side of the head was white - I would say the black drunk guy was asking for it, but it was wrong for the white guy to resort to violence, I do not want to live in a society where anyone that feels disrespected by a drunk man can resort to violence without consequences, both should have been arrested over this

    Why do you say "just" being a drunken idiot, as if that somehow makes it better? He was being a drunken idiot period. And by the way, if I got as drunk as he was, I wouldn't suddenly start behaving like that. People behave that way because that's how they let their character develop over time.

    Wrong! You wrote "This sort of thing will only embolden a rule that crude speech makes physical OK" which means that it has not happened yet. It happened 4 years ago after Trump defended a guy who punched another man for saying words that the attacker did not like at one of his rallies.

    Nah! For starters, you haven't a clue how drunk the guy was! Secondly, getting pickled produces different attitude with different types of liquor! A beer drunk farts and burbs, a wino sleeps, a Tequila drunk is fearless and so forth and so on..

    Even at that, you don't smack a person for smack talking, that just makes the drunk better then the attacker.. And if you beat down a drunk while sober, well that's cowardly ;)

    LOL. Trump defends one of his supporters for punching a man for saying some words and you say nothing. Another man punches a guy for saying some words in a gas station and you say
    "This sort of thing will only embolden a rule that crude speech makes physical OK". But to you they are not the same. You are the troll

    Sorry, but there is no excuse for violence.

    Three guys are drinking in a bar when a drunk comes in, staggers up to them, and points at the guy in the middle, shouting, "Your mom's the best sex in town!" Everyone expects a fight, but the guy ignores him, so the drunk wanders off and bellies up to the bar at the far end. Ten minutes later, the drunk comes back, points at the same guy, and says, "I just did your mom, and it was sw-e-et!" Again the guy refuses to take the bait, and the drunk goes back to the far end of the bar. Ten minutes later, he comes back and announces, "Your mom liked it!" Finally the guy interrupts. "Go home, Dad, you're drunk!"

    Why? Because I don't support a white drunken punk kicking a black mans drink and calling him Ni**** several time? Are you a white racist?
