DifferentialEquation posted...Funkdamental posted...Are we going to see a similarly impassioned defence of property rights and free speech when an ISIS flag (the Black Banner, rayat as-sawda) gets torn down if some sociopathic cretin chooses to display one on their property? If the law comes down hard on whoever illegally removes it, are we going to read topic titles like "SJW 'justice' punishes hero who rips down Islamic State flag"? I mean, let's just be consistent in our approach, people. I still wouldn't deface/steal their property. I would have called and had their car ticketed or towed though. --- "If the day does not require an AK, it is good." The Great Warrior Poet, Ice Cube ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm not defending the actions of the guy but I feel like a few people here are still getting a bit carried away with how much damage they think was done here. He ripped a sticker off the metal part of what looks like a work truck. Not like he kicked in the guy's windows or anything. Total damage = $3-ish.

To be honest, I think a more serious matter is that the guy gets out of a moving vehicle and starts running along a busy highway. If he trips and falls, and vehicles brake or swerve to try to avoid him, there's scope for a real accident. Yeah, the traffic's pretty slow moving at that point, but I still don't think it's an acceptable risk. --- Slaughterhouse 5 Cattle 0 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm just saying that people are getting super dramatic over something that's not really a big thing. On Sunday I witnessed a 9 year old try to steal a packet of pringles from the tennis club candy shop. I didn't let it go. I told his mother and he got a big telling off, and had to apologise and was grounded. What didn't happen is me reporting it to the police and having the matter handled by a jury and the legal system. I didn't go on a rampage on the internet about it being a juvenile theft from a licensed premises either.

Lots of people are getting sick of this "They're Nazis/racists so it's okay to punch them/vandalize their property/etc." crap. You saw that attitude right in this very topic. And the guy was an adult. It's not really comparable to one off of a child shoplifting a pack of chips (which no one would condone). --- "If the day does not require an AK, it is good."
