I concur. Sticks and stones may hurt, but word's can wash off like water. If I don't agree or support what am individual says I don't need to surround myself with my negativity. Words can influence others and be powerful sure. Words can only hurt you if you want them to. You can be stronger then what someone says.

Who cares who he supports. He's obviously has a few screws loose.

This incident is certainly no excuse to discredit people for supporting free speech. If you have a problem with free speech, than I'm afraid you have a problem with America.

This incident was another pointless act of violence. One of many in America. We have a legal system in place to deal with criminals, and it is working precisely as it should. He will be locked away or put to death in time.

That's a huge fat lie. He is a Bernie Sanders supporter.

But funny you make this claim. On your MSM, "MEDIA BLAMES TRUMP RHETORIC FOR PORTLAND MURDERS"

Direct examples, MSNBC, the blog Vox, Associated Press...

Meanwhile, Trump was criticized for waiting too long to tweet about it.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler wants 2 right-wing rallies cancelled and wants to ban free speech over this.

The killer backed Jill Stein and Bernie Sanders, so there is that.

The story gets worse and worse as you dig. This guy hates Muslims, Jews, and Christians so...

In an Evergreen State College in Washington, one of the most left wing schools in the country want to ban white people.

Wonder if World News, 20/20, etc. Will lead with these details.

Wow. You snowflake lefties are having a bad week. I'd go back to bed and get out the cryons if I wuz y'all.

I honestly don't care who he supports but Tall Traveler needs to deflect, deflect, deflect so I felt it important to have ALL of the facts on the table.

Here is the problem:

Who makes the determination of what is considered "Hate"?

Anything at all can be considered hateful. The whackjob liberals keep saying that if you dont agree with their agenda..its 100% hateful. T them it can only be love or hate. If you dont support gay marriage, that obviously means you hate all gay people. Why?

Hate speech should not be banned.

I also don't agree with the idea of hate crimes. I'm sure that'll lose me my liberal card in the eyes of some but I don't care. There is really no reason for a separate crime when what we really need to do is treat all victims the same - regardless of why they were hurt or killed.

Soooo, not a fan of the Constitution, huh? If the mayor does not provide permits but does so for other political groups for the same space, he will be sued, and he will lose. Back to that pesky Constitution thing again. You think anyone wants a freaking KKK march/gathering in their town?? Of course not but once again Constitution. You should give it a read.

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Just sayin'. Our ancestors were considered traitors to the crown for example.
