I agree with Layton, American politics needs a total reform. Yes...this is inexcusable but let's not act like the other side is holier than thou. It's like some stupid chalk tally is always going on. Ooooh, they did this, welp now it's official, chalk one up for us, they're worse than we are!
Plenty of violence has been recorded at Trump rallies too. Let's not get amnesia all of a sudden, please.
The internet is all over the girl that did this...
I love how the rallying cry for anti-Trump protesters is "Love Trumps Hate", yet the open displays of hatred and intolerance for anyone who disagrees with them or supports Trump is amazing. We even got Madonna fantasizing about blowing up the White House at the women's march over the weekend. It's gonna be a long 4 years for these folks.

There is always a douche on every side. Some bigger than others.
Meh, despicable action by that one single individual. Of course, you'll have people on both sides try to group everyone into one group or another.

Dude, hundreds of thousands of people protested Obama at various "tea party" rallies and such over the previous 8 years, and there was NOTHING at any of those protests even remotely close to the violence that has occurred at protests and demonstrations just days into Trump's term in office. We've already had Trump supporters sucker punched and beaten, and plenty of destruction occurred during the anti-Trump protests after the November election. Between the post-election protests back in November and the violence we saw in the streets the day before and during Inauguration Day, there's been more violence at anti-Trump protests these past couple months than during all the anti-Obama rallies in 8 years combined. The only thing more violent in recent memory has been some of the Black Lives Matter riots protests, and again its usually left-wing agitators helping to escalate things and fan the flames at those protests as well. |
I don't think Layton's trying to say that both sides are equally violent (although there has been some awful shit pulled at Trump rallies). His post is essentially "both sides have a tendency to only see what they want to see out of the news." Liberals will consistently ignore the acts of violence by their members and focus on the less than respectable conservatives who bring effigies of a hung black man to anti-Obama rallies, and Conservatives will ignore racism by their members and focus on the violence of the nutcases that exist on the left.
The point is that we shouldn't look at this video and assume every protestor is like that (for what it's worth, I don't think posting this video will necessarily do that). Making comments like OP did in topic, however, will.

You know he doesn't and you know what he was talking about. If we only pay attention to the news that reinforces out biases than we will only grow more divided. |
Well put, for sure, especially highlighting the wider issues of such a comment and its implications too. People always have a natural tendency to lean on fallacies in discussions/debates when they have an agenda, just human nature I suppose. We all have to be diligent to resist that temptation and rise above it.

When we were kids we used to have bottle rocket fights. We'd literally throw lit bottle rockets at each other. My cousin had a firework we called 'crackling balls'. If you time your throw right, it would burst and sparks and the little pops would shower down and it would look like a little version of the big artillery fireworks. It is pretty at night. He lit one up and threw it at my friend and the crackling ball lit his hair on fire. He was known to have plenty of product in his hair. He ran away screaming with his hair on fire and my cousin laughed.
That is lighting hair on fire. This? This is nothing.

Why am I not surprised that you are defending this?

...you're seriously defending a person who quite literally attempted to set someone else on fire with the "other people did it worse" excuse?
Congratulations. I didn't think I would see anything more ridiculous on this thread than the OP's second post, but you've somehow managed to outdo him.
