B-Man Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 She espouses Conservative ideas, so yes, you are allowed to attack her because you are on the side of good.

Jumped in to fix it for you before Gator sees the post.... All Conservatives are Fascist unless that is, you the REAL Fascists the Democrat Party has become. Anyone that wants to censor free speech is Fascist, so let's just be honest and start labeling them for what they are. 1

Had other patrons booed her out of the restaurant, that's OK.

Something that mature people in a supposedly diverse society can resort to as an acceptable option when faced with someone who represents a different value set than your own? Do you mean it would be okay if other patrons simply sat at their tables and voiced a general "boo" that she was allowed in and served the same as they were? Or do you mean more of a metaphorical "boo", like getting up from their seats and jeering her until her and her parents fled the property? Of course, simply saying "boo" in a public setting is completely innocuous on it's own, right? I'll tell you what, Andrew - I disagree with you. I choose to express my disagreement by waiting until I see you and some of your family out for a pleasant evening of dinner and drinks. My friends and I won't throw anything at you or anything else that might be construed as "never OK". We'll just gather around you and yours and boo until you get up and leave. Perfectly okay, right?

I would shrug off verbal insults if I was making what she's making, but any kind of physical threat or attack I'd report to the police even if it is just water being thrown at you. You're less likely to be the victim of similar attacks in the future. Edited May 30, 2018 by Doc Brown

I'm surprised and disappointed that this was done to her. If she were Lana Lotkeff, Lauren Southern, or Faith Goldy, I wouldn't be surprised one bit... Lana is by far the worst... I'll never link to any of her material, but she's part of a growing trend of smokin' hot Nazi Jezebels... Edited May 30, 2018 by #34fan

BeginnersMind Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 I don’t know who she is (though I get the context from the article), but her political views have no relationship to the basic human kindness she deserves. I am sometimes in the presence of people whose views (racist) are abhorrent. But they are people, with opinions formed through time, upbringing, and/or trauma. Flaming their anger through attack can never sway them. Compassion, however hard it is to grant...may.

Got it, have "polarizing opinions", make money, subject yourself to all sorts of stupidity. On on the other hand, have polarizing opinions, verbally and physically harass people for some perverse "hey everyone look how tough I am" moment and no money at all...very cool and understandable because you can't get arrested for it. Idiotic. Edited May 30, 2018 by leh-nerd skin-erd

Unless those group sessions are court ordered you can just up and leave if you are uncomfortable.
