Big bad Neo-Nazis facing off against...a Girl Scout. Our resident Stormfronters must be so proud.
Since there were no details provided. I choose to believe that he was telling her how much s'mores suck.

They're called "cojones" and in this case it would seem she's got a pair unlike others who claim to merely because their mouths are big.
With Anne Frank it was a matter of survival and had no choice, this girl made a choice.

And I applaud that Girl Scout for her choice. Standing up against Neo-Nazis and the like can only be a good thing.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. What, she's only allowed to "confront" someone and nobody can "confront" her? Doesn't work like that.

The bet was how many CDers would defend the actions of the Neo-Nazi and/or deflect from the fact that this girl was threatened by his fellow brethren. You CDers performed wonderfully.

The picture shows two individuals in a heated debate in an open space.

The claims of threats have not been substantiated.

If no one initiates force in a public place it's simply dialogue. Each party can disengage at any point at their own free will.

I swear you libs are petrified of the world. Between this and the other thread where people said debate on historically offensive words have no place in a high school classroom it's as if you want to be in a permanent bubble. A permanent safe space that extends around you like a magical force field where nothing potentially offensive can ever penetrate from cradle to grave.

Sounds like a super power from a comic book. Makes sense since you folks live in a dream world.

Who was it suggested she should not have stood up to them in the first place? Wasn't I.

Did the article state she "threatened" anyone? So then confronting in this case is a strawman argument given she "confronted" but was "threatened" in return.

No one's suggesting she shouldn't have and wasn't expecting blow back, but being threatened?...Totally different ball game, as anyone with common sense would know.

Oh please! It ain't Democrats currently displaying unreasoned fear at every little bump in the night.
