    I am sure you watched the video. Would you equate what you saw in the video to your experiences?

    The difference is harassing people is not free speech.

    I actually did not watch the video but I have noticed that there is a fair percentage of black people that have no problem calling you a racial slur when they do not get their way.

    But yet if you respond in kind with the magic word that they call each other all the time now you're the bad guy

    I keep on seeing people talking about free speech in this thread and the 1st Amendment. The one that starts Congress shall pass no laws... stopping the freedom of speech... Congress has passed no new law in this case. Harassment has been against the law longer than I can remember and hate crimes have been around since the 80s and 90s. I will not say this case is a slam dunk but this is nothing new. These laws laws have been around since the MAGA days. This is when they thought America was great. This is not a freedom of speech issue this is about not accepting laws that society has created. I don't really have a problem with that because people make up society and can lobby to change laws at any time. If they have been protesting these laws since they were created then they are simply being consistent, if not...

    I won't speculate as to why some consider it free speech, but it is a shame that some people think not acting like an adult equates with free speech.

    Oh, back to that. Again, you must have a very broad definition of harassment. Somehow, I don't think you'd consider it harassment if this happened to someone you knew was a conservative.

    Yeah, responding to alleged racist vitriol with more racist vitriol pretty much makes one just as racist as the other.

    There is a difference between "harassment" and being told things that are offensive. Leftists don't seem to know the difference, or at least are very selective in their application of such.

    Its a shame that some think that "not acting like an adult" does not include free speech. I guess children don't have free speech in your world?

    Their politics is incidental, threatening to spit in their face is criminal and the farthest thing from free speech.

    Actually I have not done that yet. Why do they feel so entitled to be able to casually call you something like that when things don't go their way 100%?

    But yet if you respond in kind now it's some sort of racist hate crime.

    I hold to the philosophy that if you can dish it you should be able to take it.

    I'm glad I don't work on the day shift because my coworker has told me about several events where they come in the store and cuss him out and berate him due to issues with the mechanics.

    Yeah that'll really get you bumped to the top of the line.... Come and cuss out the store help that doesn't have a damn thing to do with anything

    Oh, an improbable anecdote supporting an incredible claim.

    You are legally protected to be offended. It doesn't give you legal recourse because you are offended.

    You should watch the videos. It is quite simple to find if you have tiktok. Her name is Arine Kim and she is a content creator. Last I saw she posted 3 videos covering this matter. The first is what most people have seen and the other 2 provide a lot of additional info. The premise of this is not that there was simply a racial slur thrown. I agree with you people do that frequently and although it is unfortunate it is not unusual. This event goes beyond that. The interaction is a lot longer than calling someone a name and leaving. There was a creepy exchange and then he said he was going to wait for them to step outside. And then he waited. They felt unsafe and stayed in the restaurant. I really don't know if this person will be convicted of harassment or hate crime but apparently he had been arrested before for similar Asian hate crimes against a Filipino couple and spitting on them.

    I think after watching you may no longer equate this incident to your experiences. Your situation seems more of you standard Karen incident with demanding customers using racial slurs. Harder to convict a Karen.

    My opinions have nothing to do with if the victim is conservative or liberal. I think I have demonstrated that in the past. It is not my definition of harassment that matters. The fact law enforcement arrested him for it is what does. I have said I am not sure he will be convicted of this crime but people that know a lot more about harassment than me seem to think it is justified.

    FYI, when it comes to government and speech, they have the same exact rights as adults.

    That post was not directed at you.

    But yes, leftists often think they are justified in their actions to suppress speech.

    Really, children can vote.

    You have defended a character who goes around threatening to spit in people's faces. Maybe you should be the recipient of such behavior. Maybe that will change your mind.
