That argument didn't work in kindergarten, why would you think it would work as an adult?
Obviously, you have zero clue how the law works involving assault. If you attack someone, they have the right to defend themselves. It's only when you go overboard that you can be hit with charges and as far as I know, nobody was seriously injured in the skirmish. You're just happy that a conservative is getting FIFTEEN YEARS for what basically amounts to a goddamn bar fight where the aggressors got their fucking asses kicked
Based on what I understand they weren't defending themselves.
