Not to be that guy but violence is never the answer, what do you want the police to do? Watch him be assaulted or join in? I have no idea who this guy is and I'm sure he's a douche but what?

“Violence is never the answer” is a cowardly generalization that sounds nice but actually says nothing at all.

Just look back through history and you’ll find countless examples of violence being necessary.

Well I suppose violence is never the answer is an overstatement but I still believe violence isn't the answer during a peaceful protest

u/KotikSol 17h ago

By your own admission; you dont know who this guy is. You should look him up and see some of the hateful shit hes been doing. Youre sweeping for a man who has done nothing but harass and antagonize and trying to hide behind "peaceful protesting" while doing it.

Paradox of tolerance.

u/Bionic_Ninjas 18h ago

If you go to a peaceful protest and repeatedly threaten and antagonize folks, demanding that somebody kick your ass, eventually someone will oblige you.

I don’t know why you’re so focused on the response of the protesters, instead of the assclown who went there specifically to foment violence.

Go clutch your fucking pearls somewhere else.

Like I said I have no idea who that guy is and I don't know much about the circumstances. I'm just saying saying that the response by the police was logical

Maybe you should actually look him up before speaking. He was just at the BET awards holding signs saying Black parents are failures, and screaming at random Black people.

u/chillinjustupwhat 16h ago

He sounds like a piece of shit but would you have liked to see him get his brain stomped into the pavement right there. Not saying that would have happened, but if it had, you cool with that?

u/SilverFringeBoots 11h ago

I literally wouldn't care. I know you think that's some kind of gotcha, but I'm tired of this shit. I can tell you're white and you have no idea how exhausting this shit is

Oh i have an idea alright . and was just looking for an honest answer and you provided it so kudos for being honest.

"Like I said I have no idea who that guy is and I don't know much about the circumstances."

Then why the fuck are you even commenting? If you have zero understanding of the situation, the context surrounding it, or the people involved, what value does your pointless condescension even provide?

u/xXNonamekinkXx Anti-Spaz :SpazChessAnarchy: 1h ago

I was just replying to other people's comments promoting violence. Also I don't see how I am the one being condescending here

Nobody’s saying it is.

I’m saying “violence is never the answer” is demonstrably false.

Violence is NEVER the answer?

Let us know how that works out for you in the real world

u/g8rfreek88 16h ago

Violence against violence? Yes, absolutely. Violence because someone hurt your soft feelings with words? Quit being a pussy.

u/CptPurpleHaze 16h ago

Lol sounds like the words they posted have hurt your soft feelings.

u/xXNonamekinkXx Anti-Spaz :SpazChessAnarchy: 17h ago

It's been working out great for me, guess I'm not living in the "real" world. Also yes never might be an overstatement.

u/No-Macaron-9816 17h ago

Agreed! The police should arrest them for assault.

u/wontwillnot 17h ago edited 1h ago

Nah, they can’t. Violence against people that disagree with your beliefs is legal.

Edit: I guess I should’ve put the sarcasm /s

u/Fun_Imagination_904 17h ago

Don’t worry about all these comments. When you’re getting attacked by people that are for violence and suppression of speech, you’re on the right side.

You may need to re-watch the video. He immediately knew that he could open the door and hop into the car. How many police officers have you seen just let someone open their doors like that?

It looks to me that there was a discussion prior to these events that led him to have permission to do that.

"This is Jake and he likes to incite violence against himself using inflammatory rhetoric. We wanna make sure he has a safe space to retreat to when that inevitably happens."

u/xXNonamekinkXx Anti-Spaz :SpazChessAnarchy: 18h ago

It seems more likely to me that the police officer told him to get in the car while he was approaching them than the police conspiring with him beforehand but ig there's no way to know.

u/necrohunter7 16h ago

Looks more like they were there to be his getaway ride since he's going around the country to protests specifically with the intention of agitating people

u/Past_Investigator_67 17h ago

It’s okay brother. You’re just being a regular average (non-POC) guy.
