Also I'm not sure that the guy who did that car attack was a Trump supporter. I can't find anything about it in the first ten articles on Google about him and in the vice documentary the Nazis there said they didn't like Trump cause he 'gave his daughter to a Jew'
Oh Yay! Another person comparing apples to oranges.
The difference is that the Bernie Sanders supporter was not part of a group of protesters. He was a dumbass who decided that shooting a bunch of innocent victims having a practice baseball game was better than using his voice. For that he should go to prison for ever.
We're talking about beta fail's inability to distinguish the difference between the People's right to protest and an actual angry mob.
Perhaps the Charlottesville protests was a bad analogy, however my point still stands that beta can't recognize the difference between the two.
I agree with you about the labeling of stuff as a mob. Thats just a sloppy attempt to delegitimize people. But you go off the rails when you start labeling things as peaceful that aren't or denying left wing violence. That is an equal misrepresention as calling everything a mob.
The counter protestors at Charlottesville weren't peaceful. How did the Nazis there get maced in the face? With peace spray? (Whether or not they should be peaceful is another discussion)
