[quote]A 23-year-old woman who became an outspoken anti-bullying advocate after a brutal beating in high school is facing assault charges after cops say she shoved a 74-year-old man to the ground during a second night of anti-Trump protests in New York City.
Cops say Clinton supporter Shacara McLaurin, who had once auditioned for “American Idol,” and the man got into a heated dispute about who should have won the election that boiled over as demonstrators gathered outside President-elect Donald Trump’s skyscraper in midtown Manhattan Thursday night.
“She was yelling ‘Black lives matter’ and he started yelling ‘All lives matter’ and it went from there,” a police source told the Daily News.
Cops said the victim suffered a cut to his head after he was knocked to the ground and complained of severe pain, according to the New York Post. He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
McLaurin, of Brooklyn, was charged with two counts of assault, a felon and a misdemeanor, the paper reported.[/quote]

It's clear that she doesn't regret it. It's absolutely sickening that she thinks that it's alright to attack someone who doesn't support her politics, esp when she's supposed to know what bullying is and how to stop it.
Joey Salads' grandfather?
Peace, Love and tolerance unless I don't get what I want.
If theres been anything good about Trump's election, its that its fully revealed how full of shit people are.
It's okay when [i]we[/i] do it.

what a twisted individual. grinning like she's perfectly fine, thinks she's not in the wrong at all, and would probably do that a hundred more times. 'anti-bully'
regardless of what you think on an issue, violence is never right.
Jesus, that smug grin.

Sounds like a damn internet argument.
Whats with these people. Whats with her doing this and then thinking she is the right?
That grin.....
i honeslty hope the judge throws the book at her, i would pay to see that smile turn downwards quickly.
That's the grin of somebody who's about to cash a fat check
[QUOTE=srobins;51362001]That's the grin of somebody who's about to cash a fat check[/QUOTE]
Who'd pay her to assault someone? That doesn't make any sense.
The fucking violence man, I can't handle it. It's just so bloody wrong.
[QUOTE=srobins;51362001]That's the grin of somebody who's about to cash a fat check[/QUOTE]
And also the grin of somebody who's about to get 7 years in prison for committing second degree assault (victim was over 65) and showing zero remorse

Is that a minimum? If not I find that doubtful.
Women tend to get off pretty light on prison sentences, particularly if they don't have priors.

You mean irony?
Trump popped the bubble a lot of Americans were living in. Its understandable that they lash out because they have been able to dismiss the other side of the political spectrum until his victory.
I hope all of the anger and violence comes out sooner rather than later, so we can unite when Trump takes office. Eventually I hope these feelings channel into people becoming more involed in politics, and hopefully reforming the DNC or killing it altogether and starting over after the this disaster of an election cycle.

Remember the titanic? it's that unsinkab-
woops
Lets keep in mind she could have been smiling about anything and the photographer caught her at the right time. No need to suggest she was grinning about shoving the guy to the ground, not to say that was okay at all.
What a scummy toad. This political left that has grown so much the last years have really turned people into intolerant monsters who cannot handle other peoples opinions. Debate doesn't exist anymore, because they will try and overshout and threaten instead.

On both occasions? Seems kinda unlikely.

I sure as hell wouldn't be smiling if I was getting arrested.

While this is a lovely sentiment, and I wish it were true, it just doesn't work in the real world. Violence sometimes is a solution (though it should be a last resort). Given that Trump hasn't actually done anything negative yet violence is not a reasonable approach to take, but there may come a time when it is. She seems like a piece of shit, to be honest.

These people are completely delusional, it is close to a religious conviction of them being correct and everyone else wrong.
I hope you guys don't mind me quoting Solzhenitsyn, but this part of Gulag Archipielago couldn't be more relevant:
[QUOTE]An eyewitness from the group around Gorky, who was close to Yagoda at the time, reports that in the vestibule of the bathhouse on Yagoda's estate near Moscow, ikons were placed so that Yagoda and his comrades, after undressing, could use them as targets for revolver practice before going in to take their baths.
Just how are we to understand that? As the act of an evildoer? What sort of behavior is it? Do such people really exist?
We would prefer to say that such people cannot exist, that there aren't any. It is permissible to portray evildoers in a story for children, so as to keep the picture simple. But when the great world literature of the past -Shakespeare, Schiller, Dickens- inflates and inflates images of evildoers of the blackest shades, it seems somewhat farcical and clumsy to our contemporary perception.
The trouble lies in the way these classic evildoers are pictured. They recognize themselves as evildoers, and they know their souls are black. And they reason: "I cannot live unless I do evil. So I'll set my father against my brother! I'll drink the victim's sufferings until I'm drunk with them!".
lago very precisely identifies his purposes and his motives as being black and born of hate.
But no; that's not the way it is! To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he's doing is good, or else that it's a well-considered act in conformity with natural law. Fortunately, it is in the nature of the human being to seek a justification for his actions.
Macbeth's self-justifications were feeble-and his conscience devoured him. Yes, even lago was a little lamb too. The imagination and the spiritual strength of Shakespeare's evildoers stopped short at a dozen corpses. Because they had no ideology.
[I][U]Ideology! - that is what gives evildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination.[/U][/I]
That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others' eyes, so that he won't hear reproaches and curses but will receive praise and honors. That was how the agents of the Inquisition fortified their wills: by invoking Christianity; the conquerors of foreign lands,
by extolling the grandeur of their Motherland; the colonizers, by civilization; the Nazis, by race; and the Jacobins (early and late), by equality, brotherhood, and the happiness of future generations.[/QUOTE]
This is an example of civil disobedience, which is a trend that is only going to rise now that Trump is the president-elect. While I don't condone violence, civil disobedience is the individual's best weapon in combating evil regimes, and is what got the U.S civil rights amongst other things. You make the bed you lie in, old man.
How can you fuck up this hard

Not only is civil disobedience, by definition, peaceful protest, but the ability to vote for whomever you want and speak your mind on political matters, without threat of violence from the government or your fellow citizens is a cornerstone of a free country.
It's sickening that anyone would condone attacking an old man because of the candidate he supports.

You don't have the faintest idea of what civil disobedience means.

Civil disobedience is more like refusing to be drafted into a dumbass oil war. It can't be violence, it's just refusing to comply with the law non-violently.

Civil disobedience is a peaceful disobeying of laws. A good example would be the MLK era sit ins/boycotts.
What is not civil disobedience is knocking an old man to the ground. That's assault.
