Drunk wypipo calls someone the N-word on a bus in Washington D.C.

[mythology]

56. Just to confirm, using a racial slur is grounds for violence?

Your title has a racial slur in it. Would I be justified in smacking the crap out of you? And before you claim it's not the same, you're using a derogatory term to refer to a group of people who have a characteristic out of their control, just like she was. Sorry, there is no functional ethical and moral difference between her word and yours in terms of the motivation behind it.

As a bigger guy, trained in martial arts, violence isn't the answer. I've had drunken idiots take a swing at me and somehow I had the composure to not commit violence and there was an actual threat of violence against me. Mob violence is even less morally justified. When is beating people who present no threat to you okay?

If John Lewis can find the moral strength to get his skull fractured by the police, get up and go back to peacefully protesting, the people on the bus can suck it up.

It boggles my mind that the same people who scream about not normalizing Trump are so eager to embrace his tactics. Call for violence and punishiment against people who disagree with you. Call them names. You can choose to follow his path, I will not.
