Honesty, I have no clue.
Yelling and shouting (aka protesting, demonstrating) is no justification for ANY attack.
The comment sounds like he's saying the attacks weren't unjustified. I would like to ask, "Since when is being yelled at justification to physically assault someone?"
If you need a link, I'll be happy to provide it privately.
Never go to LGF anymore. But it’s his blog and he can do with it whatever he wants. Same with Jim Thompson.
And FWIW, I think CJ is a spineless weasel. But that does not mean claims about his blog don't have to be substantiated.
nope I don’t think bullying old people is funny. I don’t think calling them a “mob” or calling for union thugs to beat them up is civilized. If that makes me a troll I guess I am. Just read the comments of LGF.
Johnson has deleted several of his and other commenters posts. Including the one where he justified violence against “the mob.”
hell yes...I believe in the homepage
I think the poster in 42 provided the comment - was that the one written by CJ?
Here’s what Charles said about the protestors that were attacked:

If the talking point is going to be that the demonstrators were just exercising their right to free speech and they were unjustly attacked by union thugs, I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna jump on that train.
There may have been union thugs there, but what I see in these videos of the event is a whole lot of people acting like idiots, shouting down speakers, ranting like loons, and behaving a lot like ... yes, a mob. A lot of those people clearly went there with the intention of disrupting the event.
Post is staying up, please proceed to give CJ all the grief he deserves. And to think he bashes FR for some of the comments here.
Is Johnson saying the thugs were justified?
I took a little time to read some of the comments. Well from them FR is now the home of “black helicopter - conspirists “ and formerly a conservative site. lgf is way over the shark now.
Thanks I thought you might know it certainly looks like it and they get lighting storms like that. I have a friend who lives there he used to talk about them. I’ve visited him several time but was never lucky enough to catch one.
I hate saying this, but I even told my dad this the other day.........at this point this is something that cannot be contained in a civil discourse. These people in congress need to know we are mad as hell and that this won’t fly.
I don’t have a problem with Charles. I regret his failure to see the world correctly (just as I see it), but I regret your failure to see the world correctly (just as I see it) too.
I'm not really good at posting links but here's what I have: http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/34390_Video-_Fights_Break_Out_at_Tampa_Town_Hall/comments/#ctop (Post #74).

I didn't see the other statements made that were mentioned but I didn't really look, either.
CJ is obsessed with Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer. He even banned me because I posted a link on LGF which lead to my site. The article said hat tip to Atlas Shrugs. So I was banned.
Wow, my mistake, I totally misread your post. I see it was someone else’s writing. Again, my apologies.
