...And somehow that translates to me defending kicking a chair from under a student. Interesting lol.
I'm just the guy pointing out the act of violence that the thread is ostensibly about.
But just out of curiosity, how would you react if you saw someone you know to be a veteran act that way? Would their indignation make it ok? Let's assume the seated guy wasn't doing so out of religious conviction or as an act of protest but was just too lazy or indifferent to stand. Would something that is technically assault and battery be justified because a vet felt disrespected?
To clarify, are you asking me if I think it's ok for a veteran to assault and batter someone for not standing up for the pledge??
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
