As far as I know nobody has been putting their hands on anyone in these attacks other than the one where the kid had his hat taken and drink thrown in his face, and you can see results of that. As far as I know assault is still a crime.easy rider,
Let's say that you go into a café with your wife/GF & the moron left comes in & starts threatening the two of you and/or "puts their hands on her"/frightens her (As Mrs. Cruz reportedly was threatened/frightened by the "howling mob"), WHAT do you DO in response??
(Reportedly, as the Cruz left, a "protestor" screamed, "We know who your !@#$%^! brats are & where they go to school".)
IF the HATEFUL LEFT ever "lays hands on" my daughter and/or Darla OR threatens to hurt either of them, it will QUICKLY "not be pretty" for the mob.

Let me put it this way then. If you physically attack someone that only threatens you or your lady, you then can be charged with assault. I'm still alive and can't say how many times people have said they were going to kill me.easy rider,
I note that you did NOT say what (if any) action that you would take in the event that your lady threatened with a violent attack and/or was actually assaulted.
Would you care for "a do-over"??
yours, satx
These people have no shame.
Oh yeah, and for the "actually assaulted", then all bets are off. I have said I will defend myself or those I care about.easy rider,

Just keep in mind that the "jury of your peers" would be from the jurisdiction of DC in the hypothetical, not Texans.... and the capital police are the same ones who arrested one of Cruz's interns for an empty shotgun shell in his vehicle.easy rider,
Actually the laws of the District of Columbia say: IF "a reasonable person" is threatened by another person & believes that assault, grievous bodily harm or death is eminent & thereafter uses any force, short of deadly force, the use of such force in defense of one's is justifiable under law."
(So YES you can be arrested but if the law is followed you will neither be tried or convicted.)

I think we've come across different DA's with different agendas over our lifetimes.Lunyfringe,
You will note that I said in the previous post that if the law is followed, that you wouldn't be tried or convicted.
Nonetheless, IF I believe that my daughter/Darla is in eminent danger OR has been assaulted, I will react with violence, short of deadly force.
I'll take my chance with a jury to protect them from harm.

If for whatever reason I get lost and end up in the District of Columbia, I'll try to remember that.easy rider,

Just no.Violence solves a lot of problems. If the right would start beating resistors, a lot of this would go away. You don't stop insurrection by "reasoning" with them.
Doing things like that can turn people on your side against you. You can never please everyone, but you can certainly turn most of them against you if you become the monster.Violence solves a lot of problems.
