I read that trump is using stock photos to represent his supporters in his campaign ads. it doesn't surprise me. what normal person would want to be identified as a trump supporter and subject to being spit on, having their family run out of restaurant, doxxing for wearing a hat (even young teenagers), being beaten up by hooded thugs, or being screamed at while having a cup of coffee at a coffee shop.
the people who support or participate in intimidation and violence of American voters are scary. they are so proud of their incivility and intolerance that they give interviews to journalists and admit it.
whether people like trump or not, I don't understand how some americans can approve of these tactics and not realize the damage they are doing to themselves and the country.

The following situation, though very uncommon, when I see it being justified for an employee to "assault" a customer. That is, company policies/rules might label that employee's behavior as "assault": Say a customer tries to physically harm (rape, stab, shooting, beating, etc.) another customer or employee. In this same situation, say an employee told that customer something like "Stop doing that! You are hurting that person!". However, but the customer doesn't. The employee fighting back might be necessary.
For clarification, it wasn't another person in that building that got that customer riled up. It was the customer who came looking to start trouble. In the case of someone else there getting that customer riled up, that arguably is where the self-defense claim could be thrown out the figurative window, depending on the circumstances. Also, we have to clearly prove the employee had to step and not the employee using that as an excuse to hit the customer.
This arguably raises the following point: O.K., for this particular situation, the employee may have been legally and morally justified in hitting the customer. Now whether or not company policy will make an exception for this and let the employee continue working there is debatable.
But just customers that you hate. Why would anyone eat at a restaurant that condones spitting on customers? Wouldn't it be reasonable to expect the Red Hen owner to spit in your food if she doesn't like your politics?

Remember that lady from the Red Hen who kicked Sarah Sanders out of her restaurant? Well, she's back and she wrote a nasty op-ed in the Washington Times that defends the behavior Eric Trump recently witnessed when he was spit on.
Her name is Stephanie Wilkinson and she kicked Sanders out of the Red Hen last summer. Now she's still running her mouth and talking bad about Trump's administration because of what happened with Eric Trump and the spitting fiasco.
Your boy Trump has created such a hostile environment that people are simply reacting. If he were a decent, sensible, controlled human being, a lot of this would not exist. But his nasty, ugly demeanor , always attacking others, has fed similar actions from others.
For anyone who actually bothered to read what she wrote, there are no lines connecting the dots to spitting on customers!
Quote:
The high-profile clashes rarely involve one citizen fussing at another over the entrees. It’s more often a frustrated person (some of whom are restaurant employees) lashing out at the representatives of an administration that has made its name trashing norms and breaking backs. Not surprising, if you think about it: You can’t call people your enemies by day and expect hospitality from them in the evening.
So when the day comes that the world feels returned to its normal axis, I expect we’ll see fewer highly charged encounters making headlines. In the meantime, the new rules apply. If you’re directly complicit in spreading hate or perpetuating suffering, maybe you should consider dining at home.

Put the blame where it belongs.
do you blame the woman who is raped for enticing her rapist by wearing a short skirt?
do you usually blame the victim of violence....not the perpetrator?
shame on you, wmak.

It's certainly not "okay" to spit - on your customer, or your boss, or your neighbor, or anyone else.
On the other hand, for all the people who despise Trump and his family, there really aren't many avenues for making yourself known. Unlike Obama, who read citizen letters complaining, I'm sure Trump never does. He only lets supporters into rallies and he takes routes to avoid protesters. I suspect that's one reason he's in NYC so little these days. If Trump survives the presidency, I can see where there may be many who would dream of having the chance to express themselves in that way.
