.................The two men who were attacked, Sam and Andrew, told the Star Observer that they were attacked by a supporter of President-elect Donald Trump while waiting in line at the fast food chain.

“He was saying things like how white men rule now that Trump has won,” Sam said. “I was horrified. ..................................

The man was fired up over the comment, and started shouting, “Trump’s won, straight white men rule!”

Friends of the Trump supporter reportedly dragged him out of the restaurant; however, he then remained outside and waited for Sam and Andrew to leave the McDonald’s.


“He hit me on the head,” Sam said. “And because I’m a pretty big guy, I went down hard — immediately there was blood everywhere. He kept mouthing off, but when he hit my head things went a bit blurry from that point.”.....................

For some reason, I think it will only get worse over the next 4 years.

3. From the linked article:

"Since Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. Presidential election, there has been a spike in hate crimes across the country ..."

I heard on TV this morning that there have been over 700 hate crimes committed since the election by Trump supporters.

6. Austraila apparently

I thought the same thing.... I hate bad titles that assume too much.

[whopis01]

14. Australia if you read the article. n/t

[LanternWaste]

29. That's the critical thing to focus on...

That's the critical thing to focus on... despite the mere two keystrokes it takes to find out on one's own (a unfortunately lost art in the age in instant gratification).

[jpak]

5. I'm not going to put up with this shit

nope

[Eleanors38]

8. I agree. Don't be silent!

[Old Vet]

9. I never have been one to put up or walk away from a injustice in my presence.......

I can only hope my principles are not challenged, I will never look the other way while another person is being victimized.

[TeamPooka]

27. Yeah, one of these Trumphumpers is going to attack someone and find out not every liberal is a

peace loving hippie then the Trumper will get hurt badly or killed by the person defending themselves.

[Angry Dragon]

7. republicans win elections with hate

that is why they have to label some as compassionate concervatives

[blue sky at night]

10. for the first time in my life I am thinking about buying a gun....

and I am a Straight White Guy but fuck them if they start something around me I want to be able to defend myself!

[Stryder]

13. Be careful.

https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn17922-carrying-a-gun-increases-risk-of-getting-shot-and-killed/ Overall, Branas’s study found that people who carried guns were 4.5 times as likely to be shot and 4.2 times as likely to get killed compared with unarmed citizens. When the team looked at shootings in which victims had a chance to defend themselves, their odds of getting shot were even higher.

[7962]

21. The devil is in the details; look at who many of the "victims" are.

Those numbers are skewed by the number of criminals who get shot by other criminals

[workinclasszero]

17. Should violent racists be the only ones walking the streets

armed?

I think not.

[wordpix]

25. Getting to be the Ol' Wild West everywhere. Please let's calm down

The fact that DU is up and running and we're blogging again means the brownshirts are still a small disorganized group. Still we have to watch them and they should be treated as any criminal if they engage in criminal acts. Period.

[smirkymonkey]

11. This is just sickening! It wasn't enough for them to win, they have to

unleash their hatred out onto the world as well. It's almost like they have become even angrier. One of these days, one of these Trump f**kers is going to mess with the wrong person and I can't wait to hear about it.

[C Moon]

12. Maybe because they know they didn't win fairly...or at all.

[wordpix]

26. the fact that Don is tweeting again lately is very telling

He does that when he's down, not up. He's only up when Kellyanne and Ivanka wrest control for a few days.

[workinclasszero]

15. The media normalized racism and discrimination

against gays and PoC when they pushed Dump on the public for a year and a half.

Expect more violent acting out from Trump fascists. I hate to say this but people on the left need to get armed if they are not already. My wife and I will be CC after the new year for self defense.

Dumpf and his fascist supporters can go to hell.

28. please give peace a chance. looks like recounts will happen

in some states. Motor voter registrations lost in NC and a whistleblower has anonymously named names of where they went. They went to specific top state people who voided them in a scam. So now Drumpf is feeling what this presidency entails. He's lost the "my way or the highway Trump brand" b/c the gov. (so far) doesn't run that way. Voter integrity is a bedrock of American society and these voter suppression/"lost" registration problems need to be resolved.

Just let Trump argue against voter integrity--- he'll lose the argument.

If you're speaking to a Trumpster , don't make it complicated for those who can only deal in sound bites: voter integrity.

[Buzz Clik]

16. Bigotry isn't exactly unknown in Australia, and neither is stupidity.

I wonder if this jackass realizes that Trump is the prez-elect of the US and not King of the World.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

18. These people think they got their "Go!" order.

[jO456]

19. Witnessed what could have turned into similar situation.

I have been a lurker for many years and this is my first posting. I was at a local gas station getting a cup of coffee before I headed to a customer early on the Friday after the election. The cashier was an African-American and there were 2 small white guys by the soda fountain. They were yelling racial slurs at the cashier saying they are allowed to say that now because Donald won. (i will always refer to Donald as Donald, due to annoyance it causes to Donald). I looked at the cashier and walked over to the counter to show i had his back. I did not say anything just stood at the counter looking at the 2 tiny Donald supporters. I just looked and shook my head in disapproval. I dialed 911 on my phone. Luckily, my presence defused the situation, as I am over 6'2 and 250lbs. However, I was ready to defend the cashier if necessary. I still have the scars on my hands from the only fight i have ever been involved. I was defending a friend that got jumped by skin heads.

31. Glad you are now posting jO456! Welcome.

We need all the good people like you who are there for those who need you.

20. Apparently this idiot hasnt heard; Trump said gay marriage is settled law & he's fine with it.

60 Minutes interview.
Wonder if this shit head will try to hit HIM over the head too? Be nice to see what would happen if he did.

[Chakab]

24. He said that a couple of times when pinned down in interviews. Trump has taken several different

positions on the all of the important issues. What's relevant is the signal that he's put out to his supporters about what his real beliefs are or, more relevantly, what beliefs will inform his style of governance.

[img][/img]


He can say that gay marriage is settled law, but he's surrounded himself with bigots. His AG nominee is fervently opposed to same-sex marriage, and is very unlikely to take action against the Kim Davis's of the world who, at the local level, refuse to respect the legal consequences of the Obergefell decision.

[metalbot]

33. Who would he surround himself that would not be bigoted?

It's the Republican Party, so it's not as if he has a huge selection of gay-friendly choices. I'm choosing to be optimistic here that trump is probably the least anti-gay candidate that the republicans could have elected. He's not a Christian fundamentalist, despite his support from fundamentalists (which came really only after he had the nomination).

I suspect that trump doesn't care personally who gets married if it doesn't impact his bottom line. That's not the same as supporting gay marriage, but it's better than actively opposing it.

Pence is scary though.

[NoMoreRepugs]

22. sure will be interesting once SPLC starts accumulating national stats on this...

I have a feeling incidents from goobers and gomers is going to outnumber 'scary black/brown man' incidents a 100:1

[wordpix]

23. calling Mr. Trump (rinse/repeat)..come down from your tower & calm things down

Oh yeah, he's working on his Scottish golf view problem b/c he doesn't like the wind generators out at sea.

I know wind generators off coasts are an issue not only for Donald Trump, but fuck him. Trump ruined the view of a modest-living neighbor of the Scottish golf club b/c he wouldn't sell his property to Trump. Cannot recall details except Rump ruined the man's view of the sea. Karma's a bitch.

[YOHABLO]

30. Actually the gay man should have kept his mouth shut. You have to be smarter than them.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

32. Yeah, those gays gotta know their place!

If only Obama had known his place and not tried to be all presidenty, the RW might not have been so mad that they had to elect Trump!
