That was what the guy who got shot in Seattle was effectively doing.
OK, he wasn’t hugging people, but he was trying to break up fights and keep the protest peaceful. He didn’t even get shot for that, he was just an easy target for the arsehole with a gun who wanted to shoot a liberal.
Wow. Is that how it ends for ol’ SenorSchaffer?
I hadn’t heard of this. That’s fucking terrible.
It happened the same day that Richard Spencer got punched on camera, although the shooting appears to be unrelated.
No, not allowed. We all have to live at a minimum long enough to see Trump impeached. (And hopefully much longer to help with the Great Rebuilding ). I just couldn’t pass up the bleeding heart reference.
That reminds me:
Here’s a pretty good summary of Saturday.

Your story, even in its entirety, will be a comedy, not a tragedy. Not even tragic comedy. Possibly comedic pastoral.
Makes sense. Schaffer translates to shepherd.
I hear you, but I spent some time thinking and came up with this:
The Wealthy/Elite have too much power and are illegally taking advantage of the common man.
I think both sides believe some variation of that. The problem is they don’t agree on how to combat it. Am I wrong?
I agree with you. Also they’re both led to believe their problems lie within each other and not upwards.
There’s a very telling exchange in one of the videos where the two participants continue to yell “fascist” and “terrorist” at one another.
Not cans of Pepsi?
Punching people because you disagree with them continues to be both illegal and immoral. Person responsible should be arrested, tried, and sentenced. And there’s no reason not to. There’s not a whit of ambiguity. We’ve video for heaven’s sake.
I am very concerned about the police not doing their jobs, however, and preventing public disorder and violence. If they do not prevent what looks like a small-scale battle in the middle of the city, what on Earth are they for?
They brought those.
In the end, 21 were arrested and police confiscated an array of heavy sticks, knives, and Pepsi cans used as projectiles.
If that were the case then why would anyone organize a tax day rally in SUPPORT of the unaccountable billionaire who refuses to release his tax returns and proudly wages war without Congressional approval? It simply does not compute.
In 9 days Ann Coulter will be speaking at Berkeley.

They can’t agree on who the elites are. The fascists believe that some of the most marginalised people are the elites, when they are anything but.
The left generally don’t believe that the fascists are the elite, but that they are being used by the elite to maintain their power.
Because they don’t see him as that. They see him as “one of us”. I’ve heard it many times from his supporters. And he promised to “drain the swamp” of all those corrupt elites, you see. And Congress has a lower approval rating even than Trump, so not getting their approval is a GOOD thing.
Many Trump supporters are conspiracy theorists. They believe that rich, powerful people behind the scenes are running the world. Maybe even Lizard People. But not Trump, he’s a “self-made billionaire”.
Yes, I think you’re right about that.
The billionaire class has most of us so well trained to keep our eyes on the wrong balls.
I guess the authorities will need to figure out who hit who first. And whether she used a bottle as a weapon.
