How do the posters here (the ones who advocate violence) feel about this one?

I like how, in the first one, the guy got a hug from his mate at the end. Easy to attack someone with their back turned but when someone fights back they are cowardly as ****. Same kind of people will stand in a crowd throwing rocks at police and complain when the police eventually respond.

I'm not a Trump supporter but that guy is a scumbag.


I'm just curious about the reaction to the various punching videos. Loads of ye are saying it's ok if the person is a Nazi... yet we've heard again and again how Trump is a Nazi, so doesn't this condoning of violence extend to that against his supporters? I've asked before who do ye think its ok to beat up and who isn't, still waiting.

I'm not saying it's OK if the person is a Nazi?

I'm not even saying it's OK under any circumstances. Not sure where you're getting that from?

What I am saying is that people who were fine with 'their side' doing it (which includes the second assault said scumbag Gavin McInnes is bragging about assaulting) don't deserve much of any sympathy when a situation they willfully helped create backfired on them.

So by "ye" I can only assume you meant people that are not me?

To be fair the guy Gavin swung at actually asked him did he want to fight, which is not really the same as sucker punching someone from the side. Both are wrong all the same.

Skip to 0:45. Skip to 1:45 - neither of them did McInnes just felt he had the right to assault them.

There's still loads of positions to fill, especially in the national security section of government.

Previous administrations have traditionally either filled positions before inauguration or asked the current occupants to stay on a few months. Trump hasn't.

It looks like large sections of US government won't have people to run them.

The scary thing about this is that the rush to hire people will probably see unqualified and poorly vetted people getting the jobs.

If that's the case, they'll fit right in.

Historic marches are taking place today all over the world.

35,000 in London. And in Paris, Berlin, south Africa, Tokyo.

The rally in Washington DC will dwarf the inauguration.

I dont think the Americans give two f*cks about protestors across the world.

Historic marches against the 2003 invasion did nothing.

Ideal time for a spy to get a foot in the door.

I'm no trump supporter but these protests are just ridiculous. I don't see the point in protesting about something unless the something is changeable by a direct influence of the protest.

It's best to think of the protests not as an attempt to effect immediate change, but as a display of strength and solidarity in the face of the far-right gaining power in the most powerful country in the world.

Gavin is not alt-right. I feel like a lot of people spout the term without actually knowing what it means.

As for the video you linked, If you've ever watched any of Gavin's videos you would know know he's almost certainly being facetious here. He literally started talking about biting a mans glasses off and shoving his fist down another dude's throat...

All depends on the labeling of alt right, alt lite, etc (it only takes a glance about 5 feet into the background behind him to figure that out). And all I'm hearing are excuses for a guy bragging about and encouraging assault. Strange how so few of the Trump fans on here abhorred by the violence in the protests failed to respond to that video.
