The kids were joking about lynching blacks and such. Thus inciting a reaction... tenderfoot Jul 2018 #52

I hate those hats too, but last I checked this is a free country. So if I wear my rainbow flag Tipperary Jul 2018 #81

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences. backscatter712 Jul 2018 #85

In which of those incidents did someone do something physical? MineralMan Jul 2018 #75

It's elementary. Honeycombe8 Jul 2018 #96

None of those were violent incidents. And I sure hope we do not descend to the level of this Tipperary Jul 2018 #82
