Even at so-called conservative outlet Fox News.

"Comes under fire"... like it's a big thing.

Probably a small handful of dumbazzes said something... but not the ---majority--- of people in the country.


"Massachusetts jewelry store under fire after 'take a knee' billboard backfires"

SMH...

Just my 2¢

Wow, it's a great non political play on the current news, some people have no sense of humor.

Maybe because they are idiots and people are always laughing at them.

Every headline is sensationalism. So and so blasts so and so, but when you read the actual quote, it was just someone disagreeing. Social media explodes, but when you read the article, they may have a couple examples of upset folks. Most headlines are sensationalism, just to get folks to click on the article.


With that said, from the article.


"Someone saw it, pulled in off Route 20 and took a picture of it and then went off about how racist it is," Garieri told Boston 25 News. "Then they started attacking us, they wanted to come in and vomit on the [jewelry] cases, they were going to urinate on our sidewalks."
Comments flooded into social media including one that said Garieri’s daughter, Alexandria, who manages the store, should kill herself.



Wow, threatening destruction and wishing someone's death, just because you find something innocent "offensive". What have we become?

There always were and always will be some out there though.

Yes, I know Frank. Thankfully the majority is still sane, but I see nut cases on both sides threatening death and violence on a daily basis, and the media, as well as some elected officials, seem to egg them on. Hopefully one day soon, the rational folks in this country will rise up and let both extremes know that we will no longer tolerate the hate, threats and violence.

I like how the detractors are calling it racist.

Because someone is racist simply because they don't agree with them.

Sounds like some on these boards.

"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell ... I promise you I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise" (Trump on Feb. 1, 2016.)

At a Vegas rally he told security guards they were too gentle with a protester. "He's walking out with big high-fives, smiling, laughing," Trump said. "I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you."

"Get him out," he said of a protester. "Try not to hurt him. If you do, I'll defend you in court. Don't worry about it." (Warren Michigan)

 (Later Trump said he never claimed he'd pay the legal fees for the guy that followed Trump's advice and sucker-punched a protester, but he did speak with him in court and give him a hug)

_________________________________________________________________________________________

The way I see it Trump ushered in this wave of violence by constantly antagonizing and bullying his cabinet members, intelligence agencies, celebrities that call him out, ex-associates and employees, Black atheletes, reporters, foreign heads of state.
In Art of The Deal he admits to being physically violent growing up and loving it.

 He's raised roadrage-mentality to a new level. Before this hothead we had the same disagreements and frustrations, but now we have licence to resort to violence. By our president. 


Disclaimer: I'm not saying violence didn't exist before this dirt bag. Relax!

But this (along with a plethora of other things we're witnessing, thanks Don) is JUST NOT NORMAL. I know his base loves it, violence especially, but they make up less than 30% of the electorate, from what I'm reading. So there's that.

I never called you racist, did I? I have said if someone supports or defends a racist or some statement he's made, he might be a redneck. I mean racist.

On multiple occasions you have called me a racist.
I let it slide because, well, I figure it's just you primal screaming. Aka whining.

Seriously though, lefties these days whine and get offended about anything and everything. Righties are pretty bad too, but no where on the level of lefties.

Stop. Noone on either side is as hypersensitive as Trump.
And noone as offended as his state-run FoxNews.

The left is pointing. The right is pouting.

Nah, my point was... extremists are nuts... I look at Trump more as an instigator.

There really is a method to his madness... it's on his daily routine...

Morning piss... check
Coffee (covfefe)... check
Get the lefties all triggered... check
Take a dump...

Get the lefties all triggered again... check

Look at all that posturing on one post.


What a complete and utter load of crap.

You want "state-run" news? Look at CNN. Go on.

If anyone is pointing and pouting it's the Left. Mewling because they were "With Her". Colluding government agencies rigging an election, it's outcome and investigations ever since. Propaganda and walked back stories filled with lies is what the CNN audience has come to expect. They wouldn't know a true story from some made up man on the street fill bit.

Trump is insane. And a criminal. CNN points that out. They're reporters. Reporting.

FoxNews people speak with Trump on a daily basis to get their stories straight. State-run.

LOL!!!

Huck thinks CNN is more credible than Fox... Dude, don't you get what you are to CNN? You're the product.

They don't GAF about telling you the truth, the only thing they care about is keeping your eyeballs glued to their cable channel and their website.

CNN is nothing but a bunch of fluff opinion pieces, with a little bit of actual news thrown in if it meets their agenda... and their agenda is what I just told you in the previous paragraph.

.... Huh... Do you think this is different than fox?


Ultimately every news channel is only going to show information which they believe will attract views. Otherwise they will be out of business.

The real measure should be how much the truth is distorted in the pursuit of this.
