1. My God...

You are way more forgiving then I fear I'd be… But, I might not have lived to show the world, either.

[shenmue]

2. Now that's a brave guy

[redstatebluegirl]

3. I am glad you were not seriously hurt!

These jerks waste so much energy hating people who do not share their warped view of normal. I am sending you a cyber hug .

[lunasun]

4. Cole Ledford heal in peace and stay strong

[kelliekat44]

5. That guy must have a miserable life. You are a remarkable young man. nt

[Logical]

6. Man, I wish I had been there, would love to be a witness at the trial. nt

[JaneyVee]

7. He's right, it's all about insecurity. Feel better, Cole.

[babylonsister]

8. I'm sorry this happened to you, but thank you for your positive message! nt

[BlueJazz]

9. The guy that hit you should be in jail...or worse.

11. kpete is NOT Cole Ledford. She is just reposting Cole's tweet. nt

[BlueJazz]

19. I meant You = Cole. My bad for not making it clear.

[tblue37]

10. Why don't DUers realize when someone posts something from another site, that

means the author and the DUer who posts it are usually not the same person? Most of the replies to this post assume that you, kpete, are Cole Ledford!

[blkmusclmachine]

16. I don't.

[BlueJazz]

20. Ah..Actually most people who have been on DU for a time, assume that the poster is not the person .

...in the article.

[tblue37]

21. But many who replied to kpete as if she were the author HAVE been on DU for some time. nt

[Odin2005]

12. I can't believe we are still dealing with this shit in 2014.

[simak]

13. There will always be bullies.

[SoapBox]

14. And now freaks like the bully...

Are going to feel even more emboldened to do shit like this.

[Le Taz Hot]

23. Everybody back in the closet

because some bullies don't like you.

[damnedifIknow]

15. Took a hell of a chance punching him

With everyone running around armed now. Of course guys like that are usually too stupid to think of that. Duh.

[blkmusclmachine]

17. Saw 2 young guys (early 20's) holding hands as they went into Target in Euless, TX a couple of days

ago. Good for them, but be careful. Tarrant County is crimson red.

[Warren DeMontague]

18. I hope there's an assault charge for the guy, as well as an educational moment.

[Le Taz Hot]

22. To be so crazed to hit someone for kissing?

There's just no way to wrap my mind around this.

[bobGandolf]

24. What a jerk! n/t

[Spitfire of ATJ]

25. Some of these Right Wingers really believe gays are trying to destroy marriage & God & America....

So they feel like three kinds of warrior out there.

[Warpy]

26. I hate so much that this shit is still going on

I hope the punk broke his hand.

[heaven05]

27. the person that threw the punch

[onecaliberal]

28. What in the hell?

What happened to the douche who assaulted you? This country is just fucked

[Packerowner740]

29. He shouldn't be sorry for anything

He shouldn't HAVE to be sorry for anything
