...." I have a third solution: Steven, stop whining, take your licks, and accept that getting hit in the face is a hazard of inserting yourself in the middle of an argument between
billionaire-funded know-nothing ideologues and people whose livelihoods and stability are being threatened by the insatiable greed of the super-rich and the blind extremism of their wooden-headed political allies. In exchange,
liberals will buy you a band-aid for the cut on your forehead and re-iterate that Punching Is Bad. Sound good?Send your answer on Twitter.”....
RRD: I have a fourth solution: you abstain from assaulting us or we will have you arrested. How about that?
Of course Read 's apologists might say that since Crowder is joking about this,Read also has the right to joke about it. But Read's joke ( and it is not entirely clear to me whether he is entirely joking or only half joking) is about violating Individual Rights,by contrast Crowder's is essentially self-deprecating humor. And what shall we make of this : "And then he got punched in the face, for reasons that have been edited out of the video. "
What "reasons" other than a imminent threat,could justify punching Crowder in the face?
"Oh ,Robert you know how these things are ,people say things & other people just can't help themselves...." Actually no I don't. You see my mother was once called a "cunt" in front of her & to my face. I did not do anything violent or criminal in response. It is called "self-control".
And yes I do have a temper,it does not spontaneously cause me to strike people against my will.
Except for self-defense ,there is no excuse for a civilian to use force against others (unless the government is a dictatorship ,or unless the government is gone and anarchy prevails , in which case "natural law" should guide one's actions ,& even then saying nasty things would still not justify the use of force).
