I've added, not changed.

C'mon - don't you think that it's a real concern, how physically violent our political arenas have gotten? The shoving and pushing at the healthcare rallies two August's ago? Gabby Giffords was shot. It's wrong. You can't think otherwise, do you?

you are the one who has said that i do not think its wrong. I have never even remotely said that it was a - okay. I just dont think the man needs to be arrested.


its a real concern that kids these days turn to guns to solve problems. Its a real concern that normal teenage fistfights now turn into murders. Its a real concern that Obama thinks its okay to illegally detain or kill american citizens without seperation of powers. It is a real concern that we have two political parties in which neither party cares about the american people.. all they want to do is wage hate between everyone.

The old man was wrong. He was stupid. I just dont think there should be any real concern to have him locked up.

I'm saying, at what point do we hold people responsible for their actions? Especially when today's political discourse is getting so physically violent?

Don't jump to the conclusion that he will be found guilty and jailed for it.

If it were me, yes, after I turned and elbowed him in the face to defend myself (that would have happened after he poured the liquid in my mouth), when he came back again and shoved a cloth in my mouth I would have definitely filed charges against this bully.

This is a guy that needs to have a judge point out to him that physically assaulting other citizens who don't agree with his political views isn't permitted in this country.

I admire his victim, for totally ignoring the bully's two attacks. I couldn't have done that.

Because his "victim" isnt a pus.sy sue happy moron like a lot of America has become. He probably has some sense and realized the old man might be senile. Plus he probably had about all of zero injuries.

Nobody is talking about suing the guy. It's about, at what point should turning physically assaultive at town halls and political rallies, against those whose political views differ, be tolerated?

I say we have to have zero tolerance for these political events turning physical.

You are forgiving the bully's two different attack actions because he's "old". To me, being "old" is no excuse for physically assaulting other protesters. The old guy is just as responsible for his actions as a young guy is.
