(96,882 posts)First anyone who didnt agree to a water bLoo. Fight doesnt deserve to be hit by o e. Second, the reaction of people in this thread was based on the assumption that it WAS Pence and were perfectly okay with that outcome.

And it's not like he's lying on a gurney in a small town ER bleeding to death from an untreated miscarriage, because, Gawd.

COL Mustard
(8,386 posts)I've heard of people being charged for a lot less than that. And I *really* don't like Mike Pence.
I raised two children. I don't care who it is, I would never have applauded one of my children doing that.

"The water balloons and soaker guns are a long tradition at the Stewart Manor parade. Please do not be offended. All those who march including me, do so at their peril and are fair game. I had fun even if I got a little wet!"

(54,866 posts)I have seen, over the years, people who (rightfully so) ridicule MAGAts for buying into fake RW news, but who have done the same thing themselves with fake news OPs here.

(19,572 posts)The stricken body of Bobby Kennedy in the last closing minutes of his life on the floor of the Ambassador Hotel comes to mind.
The reality of what can be or has been done makes me unable to approve this kind of behavior. It steps over the line. I dont care who it is being done to.
Way too many nutbags out there. This is simply unacceptable behavior. That girl should be brought in, along with her parents, and the shit thoroughly scared out f all of them. And the photo of Booby Kennedy would be a good thing to show them, 100%

(2,018 posts)The way things are on the Right, it could have been somethng a lot worse with the Obamas or Bidens.
And we've seen worse.
JFK, RFK and MLK...water balloons instead!
Wrong or RIGHT, I'll take water balloons any day over a possible MAGAt alternative.
