It's funny how you guys want to crucify Trump over mere words but give Jim Accost-her a pass for his inappropriate actions.

Like I told ox, you guys can try spinning this however you want, but the video is there for all to see. There's nothing to figure out here; just open your eyes and watch. It's silly to pretend that Accost-her's behavior was in anyway appropriate. I'm not buying your "But it wasn't that bad!" rationalizationsSome may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

There's a video of a man wearing a MAGA hat in a Starbucks, and someone took offense at it. The hat wearer says "it's my opinion" and the "aggressor" continually comes forward into his space. Finally, the aggressor takes the man's hat off and throws it down on the floor. According to my LEO buddies, that constitutes a class C misdemeanor.
Here is the video: https://youtu.be/6Jtlh-rXNm8
here is the conversation:

Notice in the video the aggressor never actually touches him...Last edited by Littlejoe; 11-10-2018, 12:48 PM."What has the Church gained if it is popular, but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?" - A.W. Tozer

I kinda wonder if lao has finally reached the point where even he will admit that the old Gray Lady suffers from severe integrity problems these days.
I'm always still in trouble again

Originally posted by Littlejoe View PostWell, regardless of what we "think", people do not have the right to invade your space, especially to poke, grab, push or swat at you...it's called "Touch Assault" and IS indeed a crime. It's not enforced usually because it's a "he said, she said" type situation. But, with this video proof it would be enough to prosecute if someone wanted to.

JimMy brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19
