I went to a Tea Party Rally in Boston a while back where Sarah Palin spoke. I had a liberal jackass trying to pick a fight with me, getting in my face while all his liberal comrades were taping the confrontation.
The guy was standing with his face in mine, about a foot in front of me.
I ended up just telling him I didn’t want to speak to him, and he kept taunting me and egging me on, calling me a pussy and so forth.
You have no idea how hard it was to stand there and take that. But I was carrying at the time, and if anything had gone down, you know exactly how that would have worked out. I would have been in jail, not him.
There may be a time in the future when we have to come to blows with these people. Physical blows. But right now, they are the ones instigating it.
I wouldn’t be so harsh. It is different when it is you, and you know your every movement is being scrutinized by cameras from all angles.
Liberals generally don’t have to worry about this video showing up on the evening news. We do, and that is just a fact of life.
“I ended up just telling him I didn’t want to speak to him, and he kept taunting me and egging me on, calling me a pussy and so forth.”
Yes as long as they do not physically attack I think you have to try to be peaceful but once they hit you or knock you down all bets are off. Let the cameras roll. Everyone has a right to defend themselves.
