I agree, fellow non-fascist, it is good that people saying things I disagree with are met with violent reprisal. :psyduck:

I think we can meet in the middle and agree that the violence was wrong but it was not a 1st amendment issue whatsoever. Right? Please? Can't we all, as Californians (ok, maybe Oregonian but I live here now), just get along?

The perfect day needs the perfect set of wheels.
I was responding more to the general tenor of the post, but it is indeed not a first amendment issue. I guess people have just been traumatized by idiot alt-righters saying that poo poo in response to people saying mean things about them on Twitter to where the very mention of it is enough to make people react way too strongly. We do have laws against assault, but I think it's very unlikely that a neo-Nazi will be able to get fair treatment because of the very understandable intensely negative reaction that anyone would have to them.

There is nothing that can be said where stabbing people is "meting out an appropriate response".

This was more of an organized brawl than a peaceful protest attacked by anarchists.
Both sides showed up armed and both sides had people stabbed. It is as much of a 1st amendment issue as a football hooligan fight as far as I can tell.

I'm loving ashamed to be a Californian right now because the state education should have taught casual internet constitutional scholars that freedom of speech is not freedom from the repercussions of blurting out your terrible Nazi ideas, and if the private citizenry metes out an appropriate response to your dumb bullshit it has no connection whatsoever to the 1st amendment protections granted under the Bill of Rights to protect individuals from laws passed by the government.
I'll make sure to remember that political violence is acceptable to you when this results in the same thing at an abortion/LGBT/race rally.

It is a first amendment issue. One side was properly permitted and had signs. The other side went without a permit and had knives. The neo-nazis will bring guns next time. Assaulting someone for their ideas is still assault. The "counter-protesters" here were deliberately attacking free speech, free assembly, and free press (they also attacked the press that were there covering the idiots). I'll agree the neo-nazis were idiots, but its still a free speech issue. If you don't want to hear it make a bigger rally on the other side of the park and drown them out.

I can't be alone in thinking that with the whole Brexit situation, withFarage being "UK Trump", the media and the left will go far out of their way to paint Brexit as the worst thing that's happened to the UK ever, ever. So they can point to the UK and say "Trump will do that to the US". All while ignoring the decades of graft and corruption and general sleaziness that comes with the Clinton name. I mean the votes were barely finished being counted and the UK already burned down, fell over, and then sank into a swamp according to them. WTF man, it's been like, a hot minute, give it a bit and see how this all plays out.

The remain crowd crying about how racist and stupid the leave side is reminds me a hell of a lot of they crying when both Gore and Kerry lost to Bush. "Stupid idiots voting against their own self-interest". The pomposity of those same people when Obama won twice was equally galling. You win some, you lose some. But you live, you live to fight another day. -John Witherspoon Friday

We don't, though. Once out, that's it, you're out. This isn't a mere general election where you can do somethign about it in another few years, this is permanent.

And a huge number of people have voted against their own self interest. They have been told things that were not true, and then immediately afterwards rescinded.

If you try to apply an equivalence to this which relates to things like a simple presidential election, you're missing the sheer scale of the fuckup. If nothing else, every single British person who regularly posts in AI going "Ooooooh poo poo, we're a bit boned here" should tell you something.

I'm sure this is the same principled stand you take when left-leaning protesters are hosed with pepper spray, surrounded on all sides by law enforcement who simultaneously issue an order to disperse and prevent the crowd from dispersing, then arrest everyone for disobeying a lawful order - right?

I mean as a constitutional purist you certainly wouldn't handwave that away because its just a bunch of filthy hippies or urban ferals getting what they deserve...

That actually makes sense to me.
It certainly goes a long way toward explaining Brexit and Trump. I definately agree that there is a lot of anger at the establishment regarding economic inequality, particularly, those in wealth being protected from their fuckups (see:banking crisis, where not a single bank executive so much as got a slap on the wrist, or auto manufacturers) while we middle class and "below" bear the brunt of said fuckups, particularly in our wallets.

I'm irritated enough right now about outsourcing loving with my job as is (you may recall that my former company outsourced, and now is going with a different outsourcing provider, and I'm being asked to teach these fucks my job, while either a: hoping that MY outsourcing company can find me a computer janitor position or b: find my own computer janitor position in a market depressed by... outsourcing.)

This kind of anger can easily be redirected into something, anything that isn't the status quo.
Like the dude said
