Dirt bags like this should be in jail. That being said there needs to be more reporting on hate crimes against conservatives. Media in our country has been so biased over the last few years in favor of reporting on political correct issues only, that's why they lost all respect over this last election.

SFC (Join to see) Doesn't hurt to Add another Perspective but as a White American, European American, Not LGBT American, Part Jewish American, I don't feel Particularly Threatened, As a Reagan/Dole Compassionate Conservative I don't feel Threatened. My Gay Friends and CoWorkers Do. My Islamic Friends, Neighbors, Do, My My Trans Friends, Coworkers, Friends Do, My Jewish Friends, Coworkers, Neighbors Do. Raised a "Social Justice" Catholic (Communist According to some Right Wing Rags) I DO! Those that Threaten my Brothers Threaten Me! Just the Way It Is!

You speak about feeling threatened. There is a difference between feeling threatened and actually being threatened. I dare say I’ve been in a few positions where I felt and actually were threatened. I understand it.

No one can explain “being black while driving” better than a black friend of mine. He has a cool attitude about it: hey I understand most of the bad stuff happening around here is being done by people who resemble me by color. I pull over, don’t make any sudden movements with my hands, the officer apologizes, and we all go on about our way.

I got pulled over once for drinking coffee while in an old BDU coat on the opening day of archery season some 20 years ago. The officer assumed I was drinking while hunting with a bunch of other jerks making trouble in the area that morning. When he pulled me over he was very offensive. Stuck his head in my vehicle to try to smell alcohol. I offered him a drink of my coffee. We both had a good laugh and went our way. My point is: if I confronted the officer with my first feeling the situation would have ended much differently.

Sometimes we need to stop taking the law into our own hands. Sometimes, I would say 99.99% of the times; we need to submit to the authorities, that’s the cost to live in a civil society. Sometimes we need to stop making excuses that attempts to justify protesting in a way that put ourselves and others in danger. If we get the wrong end of the stick, that’s what they made the judicial system for, not starting a riot to justify our actions.
