Stopid Trump Supporters

[-Talbot-]

Do you think an assault on a frail ... old ... homeless ... black woman would make British news channels if it were carried out by stopid Trump supporters?

I may of course just missed it when it was aired, so if anyone has a link ...

In the longer video posted, I see a baying mob as usual driven by the safety of numbers and one lone voice of reason, a solitary peace keeper.

Whether staged or not , for one side or t'other - it's horrible to view.

Whatever happened to walking past and simply shaking one's head?

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

ichkeria, 'plant' or not, the mob's reaction to her was what it was.





Exactly, naomi ... and the posts on this thread are what they are .

It's very enlightening to find out some ABers have no issue with a baying mob bullying and intimidating an elderly woman.

If you had asked about that, I may have offered an opinion. Instead you talked of an assault, which plainly didn't happen. Your indignation that no major media outlets had covered the 'assault' you attribute to media bias. The media largely ignored this incident because the video does not show an assault, it shows a pathetic dive and a rather bizarre act of being unconcious while having a vice-like grip of her trolley.
The lady is obviously not a full dime and her strange behaviour was obviously a contributing factor to the mob (well one bucket of lard) turning on her.

Gromit, //Instead you talked of an assault, which plainly didn't happen.//

That woman was being harassed and that is assault, but having said that you talked about assault that plainly didn’t happen (10:02 Mon). Disingenuous Gromit!

I'm confused by how you want that to come across.
Is it OK for mobs to intimidate and harass people with mental issues wherever they find them?
