    Yeah, it does. No one ended up hurt. Biden's security can handle a bunch of rightwing nuts making empty threats. The country can't handle thousands of leftwing violent nuts running around and destroying everything in sight. This thread in light of what's been happening in 2020 is laughable, like I said. And you're just a drama queen troll.

      The article has embedded videos so you can see that this isn't being made up or blown out of proportion. It's no surprise that this happens when Trump demonizes democrats up and down the ticket as he does but that doesn't make it any less horrifying to see this happen in the United States. That Don Jr. encourages this is really something though.

      The picture shows at most 6 trucks. A video doesn't show a 50-1 outnumbering the police. There's no evidence of them being armed. A dozen Trumpers following the campaign isn't a mob. If they feel threatened, open carry an Ar-15, it's useful against multiple immediate threats. There's a tv ad campaign that literally has the tag line "Vote for your life". It's being blown waaay out of proportion. The vehicular assault is waay out of line, agreed.

        It could be worse. They could be rioting, looting, and literally burning their communities to the ground, all of which Democrats defend as "peaceful protests".

          I didn't ask you to condemn anything (honestly I doubt you have the moral fortitude to do so). I'm just noting the actual facts. The white car was breaking traffic laws and trying to literally force someone off the road. That's unacceptable, to any sane person.

          Surrounding another vehicle and inciting fear in the passengers is also quite serious behavior. Don't you care?
          It's called driving down the damn street. I'm surrounded by vehicles any time I go down the highway. Some of them drive like crap, and can be quite scary. I don't go into their lanes and try to force them off the road in response. I won't ask you if you care about trying to force someone off the road, because clearly you don't.

            Ben Shapiro used to be cancelled all the time due to threats. He was even threatened verbally on a show with Dr. Drew. Back in 2018, Maxine Waters had no problem with "“If you see anybody from the [Trump] cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, and a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd to push back on them and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,”. Hillary urged people with "You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,".

            Steve Scalise was shot in a politically motivated shooting.

            Politically-oriented violence and harassment is normal.

                Trump just tweeted his support for what the Trump supporters did in this incident. Lovely.

                  I don't think what the white car did was did was legal. I think what the Trump supporters did was far less legal, particularly when it is directed at a vehicle containing political opponents.

                  When you say such silly things it makes it impossible to even pretend we're having a dialogue. Yes, you are surrounded by individual cars who haven't displayed, as a group, threatening behavior, surrounded you, and attempted to force you to either slow down or leave the roadway.

                  You are well aware that the escort vehicle was trying to get between the truck and the bus. Look at the size of that truck! Would there be any hope of overpowering it in that car? You saw how easily it was pushed away after they came in contact. Come on.

                      Funny, every bushiness owner I've talked to is boarding up their establishments because they fear the rioting by the right if Trump loses.

                        Yeah right. That's about as believable to me as it is believable you don't use sockpuppet accounts on tweb.

                          I'm calling that small group of Bad Orange Man supporters overly enthusiastic, rude, but not dangerous. That's based on the DB and CBS links in the OP. Now, admittedly, if there was any video on the DB page, I was unable to view it. The page would not load at all in Pale Moon, so I had to resort to Opera. Opera loaded still photos, which did not show anything scary, but no video. The videos at CBS were not scary.

                          I'm left to believe the Biden campaign was drastically over-dramatizing.

                            Then what are you whinging about?

                            Drive down the highway in their lane? Dare to visibly support a candidate other than Biden? What?

                            When you say such silly things it makes it impossible to even pretend we're having a dialogue. Yes, you are surrounded by individual cars who haven't displayed, as a group, threatening behavior, surrounded you, and attempted to force you to either slow down or leave the roadway.
                            The one attempting to force someone to leave the roadway was the white car trying to force the truck off the road.

                            You are well aware that the escort vehicle was trying to get between the truck and the bus.
                            Nope. I am not aware of any such thing. He was literally in the freaking truck's lane NEXT TO THE FREAKING TRUCK, trying to force it off the road.

                            Look at the size of that truck! Would there be any hope of overpowering it in that car? You saw how easily it was pushed away after they came in contact. Come on.
                            I also saw how easily the truck was pushed when the car decided to slam into it. You clearly have zero idea of how easily it is for an accident from a car even much smaller than that one, to toss a truck off the road or even cause it to flip. The white car tried to essentially pit him, then thought better of it. But go ahead, keep on trying to defend the car that was halfway into the next lane, trying to run a vehicle off the road. Show us how extreme you are.

                              The left has made it crystal clear they will riot, loot, and burn over anything, the last 7 months. Including absurdities such as rioting over a black dude commiting suicide in broad daylight in front of witnesses and cameras, and rioting and looting over a Edited by a Moderator black dude riding a moped without a helmet who decided to flee when he got pulled over, and crashed into someone else and killed himself.

                              It ain't the right wingers they're boarding up over, hun.
