This thread isn't about The Weathermen or their victims, it's about violence in discourse. What violent discourse is there on the left? And even if there were (Spoiler: there isn't), how would that excuse the violent rhetoric on the right? You're equivocating, and you're even failing at that.

Were all 500 of them convicted? I've been to enough protests to know that being detained at one means nothing. Beyond that rather obvious point we once again are seeing false equivalence. Real people have actually died in the past month, let alone the past few years, the murders of which can be traced to violent rhetoric. There were no murders at the G20.

While somewhat amusing this is also dangerous. I was at a concert that was cut short because a drummer got a concussion from a thrown shoe.
Peaceful lefties indeed.

You're comparing the threat of throwing shoes in protest with real, actual murder. To quote Yoda, "That is why you fail."
