Topic	Trump Supporter is OUTRAGED over Halloween Display and Demands DEPORTATION!!!

Have you never heard the saying "two wrongs don't make a right"? Outside of politics, maybe. At any rate, this was less about the Trump supporter than it was about the display and, of course, the relative treatment of both. Anybody who is annoyed by the malicious simulation of a real person being murdered has every right to be because it's in exceedingly poor taste (which isn't to say that all simulations are bad, but it's a matter of intent -- both individuals hated and wanted to see a president dead). Frankly, as a man who extols the virtue of being not being a dick, you're coming in on the wrong side of this argument. Wishing death upon someone is is about as dick a move as you can get. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:889251392] in Trump Supp...
