Completely unrelated... brooklynite Feb 2022 #78

it is absolutely germane to the universalised claim the other poster made Celerity Feb 2022 #81

I agree with you on that. Better if he had gotten up MineralMan Feb 2022 #59

Agree JustAnotherGen Feb 2022 #61

I'm not a complete pacifist, tho I prefer non violent solutions AND I can understand... electric_blue68 Feb 2022 #94

You're right vercetti2021 Feb 2022 #64

He was slapping him around in a way which didn't harm him that much JI7 Feb 2022 #71

Didn't harm him that much" isn't a legal defense. brooklynite Feb 2022 #79

So what ? JI7 Feb 2022 #89

So he deserves to face whatever the legal consequences are... brooklynite Feb 2022 #93

Violence is NEVER the answer, until voting isn't maxrandb Feb 2022 #69

Your post reminded me of this quote from John F. Kennedy: CaliforniaPeggy Feb 2022 #85

"Get the white slapped off him"?! I'm white. Is that bad? Hortensis Feb 2022 #70

Certainly an odd choice of words. BlackSkimmer Feb 2022 #72

Doubtful that a racial slur would be considered "fighting words." Jedi Guy Feb 2022 #99

It's not freedom of speech to get in other people's faces like that and spew shit JI7 Feb 2022 #109

It actually is freedom of speech. You're basically talking about "verbal assault." Jedi Guy Feb 2022 #119

Getting in people's face like that can be taken as a threat and people can defend themselves JI7 Feb 2022 #121

It can be taken that way, sure. That doesn't mean responding with force will be legal. Jedi Guy Feb 2022 #128

A reasonable person could someone yelling racist slurs to be a threat. JI7 Feb 2022 #129

Just slurs alone likely wouldn't cross that threshold. That's just name calling. Jedi Guy Feb 2022 #130

This specific case was not at a protest . JI7 Feb 2022 #131

So what? That was just the example I gave. Jedi Guy Feb 2022 #132

Of course it makes a different. Just as you need permission JI7 Feb 2022 #133

Other court cases have upheld the N-word as a fighting word. NutmegYankee Feb 2022 #116

Also this was directed at someone which I think makes a difference JI7 Feb 2022 #118

And others have ruled that it isn't a fighting word. Jedi Guy Feb 2022 #120

if he presses charges his name and face become public for using the N word. He might not want that Demovictory9 Feb 2022 #127

The fact of the matter is ForgedCrank Feb 2022 #103

Why are black people responsible for white people being racist ? JI7 Feb 2022 #108

"Why are black people responsible for white people being racist ?" ForgedCrank Feb 2022 #110

"he's still a racist. Hell, maybe even more so now." JI7 Feb 2022 #111
