The same thing, while adding this war is fought at the ballot box, not with personal intimidation & bullets on a baseball field.

Tucker Carlson just showed a clip of the Cruzes being harassed and said, "This is what tyranny by rich kids with poetry degrees looks like."

It's far more likely with that he paid you to make such a ridiculous Alex Jones' type statement to get even more sympathy.

Disturbing anyone, on either side, while out in public is insanity. Sheer insanity.

As a restaurateur I disagree with you 100%. When I decided to open my restaurant I knew that I would have to serve all people, regardless of my personal beliefs and feelings. I expected everyone, employees and patrons, to behave themselves accordingly. My employees were not permitted to bring their prejudices to work and my customers were expected to have respect for not only the staff but also for their fellow diners. What happened here, as well as the Red Hen, is completely unacceptable. And yes, in this day of lack of respect for others, a plan to protect customers and fellow staff members should be implemented and followed.

Just wanted to say that you've made a number of very good posts on this topic.

These idiots of course do not represent all or even most democrats. They are extreme fringe, just like the republicans have some real tools in their shed as well.

These losers may actually cost Beto the election with that action and perhaps further reaching implications.

The irony of ANTIFA thinking they're anti-facist is at least one small dark humor I take from this.

If I were Ted Cruz, and won the election, I'd have a staffer find the names of the protesters and send them each a fruit basket thanking them for helping him win....holy stupid batman.

P.S. I don't like Ted Cruz and I'd like to see the democrats get the house back to balance things out.

Demonstrating the level of the problem...Republicans are demonized, assassinated by Leftists zealots and attacked in Restaurants in the District of Crap... I know I'm ahead on this but this type of intimidation and violence from Leftists will only get worse and Republicans will have to abandon the District of Crap and work and live elsewhere at some point in the future.

And they keep asking ...... "why are there no signs/bumper stickers for GOP Candidates??????"

Because they will be persecuted, their homes will be vandalized, their businesses will be banned and attacked .... just as Normal People are attacked IF it is perceived that they do NOT follow the Radical Leftists. They attack you in public, they attack you when you are attempting to eat a dinner out ..... that's all they do.

Remember in November ...... at this point in time ..... they can NOT attack you in the Voting Booth.
That could change if we don't get control over these Dangerous People who are determined to turn anyone who Votes against them into an Enemy who must be destroyed in any way possible.

At least he did not call them deplorables and dregs.
