So, do you also support prosecution of old dude?

I mean, actions have consequences, too.

Punch an unsuspecting victim in the face in front of dozens of cameras and a few LEOs... that's gotta have consequences, too, right?

Absolutely he should face the consequences..

 

[olhorseman]

Yes I was serious.. Words and actions have consequences, if you run off the mouth you should be prepared for consequences.
The young man apparently was running off the mouth in the wrong venue, and a old man popped him.
Nothing I have posted mentioned a pile on nor anything about a lynching.
What does it say about you that you try to embellish so ?
Where is my line you ask, like Mike Tyson said, everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.. I bet that young man thinks harder before he spouts off next time. He was given a life lesson by a old man. LOL
Words have consequences.. It's been happening since the beginning of time.

Lynching..... No ones race has entered the story untill you .... I can't believe, its not worth it......

Why should anyone expect consequences for exercising their 1st amendment rights? I made no mention of race in the referral to lynching. But is you say I should expect consequences for exercising my 1A right, who defines what those limits are? Is a punch by a 78 year old man within the limits? Is it a punch by the same 78 year old upon a 10 year old? Once you try to define a limit other than zero tolerance there are many who will pass push past those limits. Next time it will be three or four thugs throwing those punches. And yes, this old man in my opinion fits the "thug" stereotype.

Cool.

But, what could the kid possibly have said to justify the sucker punch? I mean, if you were on old dude's jury, is there anything the kid could have said that would make you vote "not guilty"?

ETA:
Or are you talking more generally - like, in life, kids need to understand that some things they say could invite violence? Some states recognize "fighting words" as instigation of something. Indiana doesn't (last I checked).

Personally I can think of many things that young man could be saying while being walked up those stairs that would cause someone to pop him in the mouth.
It's like the drunk at the bar that constantly runs off the mouth, eventually someone's gonna put a end to it..
Folks young and old need to understand that words have power, and when someone spouts off in public ( much less in a event where you know your not wanted ) there are people that are more than willing to assault you for what you are spouting..
Words have consequences, sometimes consequences are a punch in the face.

Would I find the old man guilty, most likely I would, but what the young man was spouting, might make a difference in what his sentence might be. Maybe..

I don't necessarily disagree. I'm just wondering if there's anything you can think of that would have justified old dude's cheek-jab? If there is, what would it be?

I agree words can definitely warrant a physical response, but absolutely not in this situation. The old man was acting as a vigilante when the situation was under control by security. This act of vigilantism could definitely have escalated the situation.

Ahhh.. I can't print that here, how about a couple of derogatory paragraphs about Mr Trump.
I tend to believe that young man earned what he received.. Now the old man has to pay for the gift he gave to that over zellous young man.
Sometimes, those life lessons hurt..

It's like seeing a man yelling and belittling a woman and she is crying.... He needs I mean he has earned a pop in the eye..

 

[T.Lex]

Ahhh.. I can't print that here,

I figured we could be creative enough to get around any restrictions. I mean, I once interpreted for HarleyRider.

So, let's turn it around. If old dude had said something to kid, and kid popped him one, is there anything the old dude could have said that would've justified kid punching first?

I once was creative, and I got 30 days off.. Lol

My believes don't change for who's involved.. The same goes for everyone.
Age, sex or color, it makes no difference to me, run off the mouth, you might get popped..
You're asking questions ( fishing ) like Kut now..

Thanks, I think. I consider it more like... exploring. Testing the principles based on different facts.

So, who was "popping" those chanting out n----- while they were being escorted out? (See other videos)
Or maybe yelling that out in NC is still OK.

Something the leather clad thug said really irked me, "he’s not acting like an American".

What did the protester do? Express his opinion, maybe using "strong words"? That's been American before there was an America.

Is punching someone because you don't agree with their politics American? I used to think that was reserved for the Legislative Yuan of Taiwan or Ukraine's Parliament, but maybe the thug (and Squirrel) is right, the American way is to literally beat your opponents.

 

[Kutnupe14]

Absolutely he should face the consequences..

And if the kid pulled out a gun and shot the thug as he was taking a swing? He'd be completely justified, right? And you'd support his right to self-defense.

Ya know, the only actual Klan rally I've ever seen was in Wayne County, NC.... And it wasn't a small rally with a few dozen people, it had at least 100 guys. It was held at (and I'm being serious) a junkyard.

FIFY

Yeah. Act like a thug. Get called a thug.

Double hell yes.

America needs more face punching. This is just the beginning of the rehabilitation of the public face punch, comrades!

More face punching gold:

Being a reasonable man, I'm happy to meet the non-face punchers half way. Can we settle on a grapefruit to the face as a compromise?

A polite society is an armed society

 

[mcjon77]

The guy who threw the punch is also a cowboy action shooter, so I am assuming that he is a gun enthusiast. I REALLY hope that he gets a felony conviction. I don't even care about jail time, but the irony of this guy losing his right to own a firearm because he chose to act out at a Trump rally is too sweet to miss. Either try him for the the felony or let him take a plea to a felony, then take his firearms. If he is ever seen in possession of a firearm again (like at a SASS event) charge him with being a felon in possession of a firearm and send him away.

I don't care how old he is. We MUST nip this type of political violence in the bud NOW. If that means making an example out of this old thug and ruining his life, so be it.

He sucker punched a guy in the face. I don't think that warrants a felony. Yes. He's extra poopy. Probably a racist. It's not against the law to be a poopy racist. It's against the law to punch someone in the face. Maybe a fine and perhaps a few days in jail at the most. But then maybe it'll be elevated to "hate crime" since he sucker punched a black guy.

The World is a tough place Millennials, even more so when you can't hide under momma's skirt..
Hummmmm.. Lesson learned when a Liberal Democrat shows up at a huge Republican Event and gets on a soapbox and runs off at the mouth..

A old man puts you in your place...
The young man's lucky, it could have been a man in his 40's.. It would really hurt then.
I bet the young man doesn't do social experiments again, and I'm quite sure he will never get dragged out of a statium giving the crowd the finger..

The videos, which appeared on social media early Thursday and are shot from different perspectives, show an African American with long hair wearing a white T-shirt leaving Trump’s Wednesday-night rally as the audience boos. He is being led out by men in uniforms that read “Sheriff’s Office.” The man extends a middle finger to the audience on his way out

Jones said he and four friends — a “diverse” group that included a white woman, a Muslim, and a gay man — had gone to the rally as a “social experiment.”
