I don't blame anyone protesting peacefully. I do blame people who show up at rallies just to start shit. I fully support people who go there with peaceful intentions. But you see some on the left feel that anything that isn't out right violence is peaceful. That is incorrect.
It's also way different than a 16 yr. old girl getting death threats. She went there to sing, not to start shit with other people.

It's about the difference in reactions.
Replace this kid with a leftist and the black guy with some white alt right douche. This would be much bigger news.

That was not your attitude during the election, you had zero tolerance for anti-Trump protestors, peaceful or otherwise.

I want people to hold all sides to the same standards. assault and theft >>>>>>> name calling. yet the name calling got far more reaction out of certain people.Some people have also implied that the kids are probably racist and that's why the guy did it.
I didn't see anyone defending this guy. Snow said he was curious why the video only showed this guy's actions and not the whole picture of events. Which is a fair thing to ask.

That isn't an accurate description of snow said, he posted an article where an anonymous source said the kids made racist comments. snow then said that they probably weren't innocent themselves.
He clearly is putting all of his trust in an anonymous source who has provided zero evidence.

Snow said that regardless of what happened, this guy's behavior is inexcusable; that hardly sounds like a defense. So maybe you missed that?
snow never said the guy's actions/behavior were inexcusable and BTW, saying there were probably mitigating factors in the attack is a form of defense.
It's basically saying. yeah what he did was wrong, but it probably wouldn't have happened if the kids weren't racist.

As you can see, Snow did in fact say that this man had no excuse for his actions, regardless of what happened prior. I hope that clears up your confusion.
Where did Snow say the kid was a racist?

You're assuming I believe that I don't. My issue with this situation was a 20-second video that showed an adult that lost control and went after kids, he was wrong, he's been arrested.
I dislike 20-second clips to paint a picture when most situations aren't composed of 20-second clips but multiple interactions leading up to those clips.
PS I voted for Ralph Nader and Gary Johnson in presidential elections, I would hardly call that a conservative 😱

Apologies, I thought you had said that you're a Conservative.
Did you call those kids racist? Or is that something SM strawmanned you on to try and gain points?

No, I assuming that you're giving more trust to an anonymous source than you are to a video that at least shows some of what happened. after all, the anonymous source was enough to convince you that the kids probably weren't "innocent little snowflakes".

snow didn't say the guy's behavior is not excusable, he said a certain action didn't excuse it. one action not excusing something and that something being inexcusable are two different things.
I didn't claim snow said they were racist, that's why I said "It's basically saying" and not "snow said this". the "It's basically saying" is a qualifier, indicating that what comes next is my interpretation of his actions/words.
