What kind of sick people would come out to see the POTUS assassinated? Yes, these are commie sickos.
The woman should not have been arrested. She was only protesting......
If the lefties have their way we would have a gulag and protesters would shipped out of their sight.
Not the same. A minister preaching in a church is not being given taxpayer funds to deliver his sermon. And the church is a private venue (even if the public is welcome to come in and listen).
OTOH the play in Central Park is in a public venue and is supported by taxpayer dollars.
Our Constitution protects "free speech" from being censored by the government (or gov't agencies, such as public school bureaucrats).
The Constitution doesn't protect a play –that incites violence against our duly-elected president– from being disrupted by protestors.
I'm sure you know this, but whenever the topic of "free speech" comes up, I think we should be careful to note that the 1st Amendment guards against government suppression of speech.
There is no free speech. Don’t be ridiculous. Imagine if the insane Hussein had been depicted in said play. When there is a double standard one must use all tools to fight the fire set by the left.
Then one day they had a party.....
If the same play was depicting the beheading of Ovomit, the outrage would be deafening.
Maybe it’s time for our side to react to these incidents with an exact copy of what they do, except with one of their idols.
It’s an interesting quandary.
There’s some middle ground that I believe I would support.
When ‘Trump Caesar’ is killed on stage, stand up and say the pledge of allegiance.
When some Satanic rite is being practiced e.g. at the opening of the Gotthard tunnel - stand up and say the ‘Our Father’.
We don’t have to yell, but I think we do have to speak. And if our intervention might (at first) be confused for part of the show, then so much the better.
“can’t condone the behavior of Loomer, though I agree the play is reprehensible.
Look, it is a s speech issue.”
I agree with you; but it is a speech issue in the same sense that war, abortion and capital punishment is a right to life issue. Speech, like life, is sacrosanct in our society. We want to keep it that way but many leftists do not. Sometimes in a war and in a society, the exception enables the good.
You think you’re seeing the beginning of a civil war? That is not the case. You’re in one. The more folks who start to realize that, the sooner it can end.
Nope. Not bending over ever again. Fighting fire with fire is the only thing these communists understand. Being nice has gotten us absolutely nothing except ramped up violence from the left. No more. I. Am. Done.
The arseholes need massive pushback and if it hurts their delicate “sensibilities “, so be it.
And the media? They have zero clue what they have unleashed. Does anyone even watch an MSN channel for more than 10 seconds without wanting to puke? I’ve tuned them out
We need to fight back....enough of the liberal BS.
The play is art.
Just like 'Fearless Girl' is art.
Last week, when this Trump "art" assassination story broke, I suggested that pro-Trump protestors swarm the stage and "save" President Trump from the assassins.
Just embellishing "live art", dontchaknow? 😀
It's beginning to look like we might have to march on The Swamp and swarm the assassins there in real life, anyway...
Where do we go to contribute to this woman’s defense fund?
She’s gonna need it...
.
“..by violence and physical interrupts. We should not imitate this activity....”
Respectfully disagree with you (no need for flame suit, SoFlo)
Fight fire with fire. It’s the ONLY thing those assh*les understand.
They started it, they KEEP initiating it - because NO ONE has stood up to them - and they will not back off until they’re MADE to back off.
They’ve escalated this from nasty rhetoric to direct physical attacks on OUR people.
They did it, not us. The bastards SHOT one of ours the other day, and now we get a couple of them talking about “hunting” Republicans and another one of them thinking it’s “funny” and posting that crap.
So, no. It’s beyond mere Delta and BofA, etc.
Thanks!
Canadian, eh?
Can anybody imagine a play in which Barack Obama was assassinated? There is just no way that would be allowed to happen.
My dad was a psychologist in the 60s and 70s and that is what he told me.
Seems like to me the activists, who were pushing a personal agenda, were letting self interest overcome the pursuit of science.
“Made me MORE determined to help him win. Why would this situation be any different?”
I agree. While it’s nice to see some push-back, I think it’s in our best interests to just work among ourselves, work on primarying our current crop of RINOs and GOPe, keep to ourselves and VOTE as if America depends upon US...because She does. I never discuss politics with liberal friends of family members. Why bother? F-them, LOL!
The Leftists and their outrageous behavior BENEFITS Conservatives, IMHO, though it’s wrong to see people harmed, and when it gets physical arrests SHOULD be made; something we’re not seeing much of, yet. :(
I hate to think that ‘moderate’ Democrats can’t see this - BUT - as with ‘moderate’ Muslims, I don’t see anyone speaking out against this kind of behavior; just silent cheering from the sidelines. :(
