Obligatory:

Booger says

So basically, California wants to secede from the Union, because they want to keep their cheap slave labour...sound familiar?

Is that a Norman Rockwell painting?

bob2356 says

and this is different from protest movements for the last 250 years how? There's always going to be a violent fringe waiting to pop up. Protests, any protest, can easily turn violent. Extreme groups can infiltrate and disrupt any protest. Short of submitting everyone to sodium pentathol and lie detectors how do you identify them? You don't, you control the protest so it doesn't happen.

I think the issue is that VIOLENT protests are virtually exclusive to the political left.

When was the last time in the last quarter century has their been a large group of right-wingers using violence and intimidation and burning shit down to shut down a liberal event or speech?

It never happens.

I still remember the media going ape-shit when they found some dude with a racist sign (probably a plant) at a Tea-party rally and the political right were made to own that guy despite being outnumbered 10,000 to 1 by peaceful marchers.

The decision by "college republicans" to "invite" him on campus was clearly a tactless and a provocative act. Berkeley and especially the berkeley campus have reputation as a symbolic liberal capital of United States. If you were outraged a few years ago about the discussion to build a mosque where World Trade Center used to be, then surely you can understand the symbolic provocation of inviting Milo to campus. This incident must also be viewed in a larger context of Trump's election, Bannon's role in the government and alt right movement in general.

I'm confused. Did the kid grow up to be a Trans Fat Commie? Or did the kid himself grow up and is acting like a Low Energy incel blaming his lack of fatherhood on Trans Fats?

Trans Fat... LOL

I'm sorry, did we see Conservatives overturning poles, chasing people, cold clocking people, accusing all bystanders of being Bolsheviks, throwing barricades through windows, shooting fireworks at cops, and trying to burn down buildings to protest the Mosque?

I must have missed it - can you point me to a youtube?

I think that is blaming the victim. Would you accept that rational if people at Liberty or Chapman University rioted and used violence to prevent the local gay chapter from inviting a gay liberal speaker to campus?

Can tell you where schooled in revisionist history. Civil war was due to the Feds not respecting states right to secede. Secession was due to federal taxes that put 80% of the burden on the south. Regurgitate propaganda much?

just any guy says

and their precious socialist society would crumble

Like I said, REALLY in favor of secession.

just any guy says

implemented their Left political agenda

Once the shackles of the feds are thrown off, the shackles of Sactown would quickly follow.

Milo, and whoever is responsible for his brand, must be ecstatic over this shit.

I would add that Lincoln's Hamiltonian ideas had a lot to do with it as well

California needs to act fast to become a protectorate of Australia.

You have to admit Milo knows how to create controversy and get the leftys riled up.

Apple really appreciates taking your money!!

For sure! But what's wrong with that?

Ironman says

Where I have an issue is to pay 2X - 3X for the same product/function because it has a pretty logo of an Apple on it. That's just crazy, but some people buy "status", and pay handsomely for it.... I buy "function".

I buy "function" but I also buy "looks". My first iMac replaced a PC in the office. The PC was only used for emails, some browsing, printing out stuff and quickbooks...the iMac replaced the PC in that function. But the selling point was that it looked frigging killer. Instead of the INSANE cable clutter. Just one screen, keyboard, mouse. Just one example.

It's a free market - you buy what you want. If you don't like the price tag on an iPhone...get a samsung. It might blow up and burn your house down...but it functions the same way, mostly. Or the chinese "iPhone" killer. Can't think of the name now...H something... - I don't think apple is no longer 2-3 times the price of anything that is comparable.

The watch - I am not a watch person, haven't had one in 15 years. I thought the first gen was "meh". Didn't buy it. But I grabbed this one now because I found use for sports tracking and its water proof which is a big deal as I surf 4 times a week. I can't believe I am saying it...I love this thing. But the most important part - none of the other watches have a "cool" look. They all have the nerdy look. Like 1980 calculator style watches for the nerd in school. Apple just gets the "fashion" aspect right. The design aspect.

But you have to be somebody that appreciates Design. I do. If you are a pure "functions" type then maybe its not for you.

hahahahahah, you mean Radical Son, Former Red Diaper Baby and Black Panther Employee David Horowitz of Front Page Mag? LOL

A Holocaust Denier?! What a fucking dumbass. This is worse when they attacked Robert Spencer, mistaking the Jihadwatch guy for Richard Spencer of the Alt Right.

Trumpligula should love the Queen, since she wears swastika underwear.

Look at those "problem glasses" on the chick in red.

Poisonous animals often have tell-tales. In this case, it's glasses. It's usually hair color.

Political Violence is normal when the President and his Followers are Fascist White Supremacists.

Whose side are you on, Liberals?! You're for us or against us!

Might as well just have "Permanent PMSing" tattooed to her forehead.

The hammer and sickle is a communist symbol. I don't like them either - they have a very disturbing authoritarian record and trained Vladimir before he "became" Christian. However, most of the protesters were anarchists so it would be inaccurate to portray the resistance as a bunch of communists running around.

The Russians are going to bukake Trump until he looks like a statue of Lenin.

share!

The problem in Berkeley comes down to this: way too much free time for young people who don't have to work for a living.

There's nothing in those videos that is worth getting particularly worked up about. Some slightly hot under the collar students who look like they wouldn't say boo to a goose. I'm sure some bad things happened there, but those 2 videos are hardly damning stuff.
I see ten times worse going down to the pub on a Friday night in England.

Except this is political violence, not a bunch of guys picking a fight for fun.

Should we normalize political violence?

No. Should those 2 videos be made out to be more than they actually are? No.

California is nothing compared to some of the fights I saw when a bunch of Drunk Redneck White Trash

Conservatives keeping it in the family.
ENTERTAINING!

Rashomon says

look at what happened at Trump rallies,

The violence at Trump rallies as well as all the political violence in this cycle, has been committed by today's left. People like you are turning people like me into Trump supporters.

Using that (low) level of reasoning, presumably I could then say that Milo and his supporters were the cause of the violence at Berkeley (and before you respond, please take note that (unlike you presumably) I don't think that).
