    Every time I read the news, I am reminded that not only is the Earth overpopulated, it is overpopulated with assholes. This too is no exception.

    I guess it's a good thing that restaurant owner didn't throw out a Hillary Clinton staffer. If that had happened then the restaurant owner would have committed suicide by now; two bullets to the back of the head, with a revolver.

    CNN - great source. They blame Trump for it, and then mention that it is no different from the high number of Jewish targets that have been hit. Uh..Trump's daughter and SIL are Jewish, and he is the first President to keep his promise to move the Israeli embassy to Jerusalem.

    I wouldn't believe any of your sources, without corroboration.

    Damn it Chris! If we think of things in those terms we won't be able to generalize into entire massive groups of people and we might even figure out a way to all get along. We can't have that!

    Seriously though fair point.
    It is an absolutely a fair point.  But while I detest the extreme on MY side of the fence this does not stop me from wanting to choke the life out of some DB snowflake breaking windows with impunity at his local Starbucks because he did not like the results of the election.  And THIS is not considered extreme behavior anymore, it is normal everyday behavior by a large portion of the left, specially the young.  Activism against everyday actions like Conservative speakers being driven out of college campuses is an affront to our liberty and rights.  And every time I bring that up and someone says "well your side does it too", instead of just acknowledging that it is wrong it makes me think they learned their debating skills at five years old when "he did it first" was a valid point to make to mommy...

    I know there are tons of instances of DBs on both sides of the isle but dear Lord when I see folks like Maxine Waters in positions of leadership egging on the bottom of the gene pool and the snowflakes to uncivilized actions it just makes my blood boil.  That this imbecile can be elected to a federal level position by ANY constituency in the USA makes me think our gene pool is polluted well beyond any chance of a cleanup...
    I say we let them at eachother. Let Antifa and the racist jackasses go at it. Maybe they can all meet at Gettysburg at the site of pickets charge. Set a time and date and have law enforcement set a perimeter. Only rule inside the perimeter is no firearms. Would be a great way to reduce the population of Nazis and Anarchists!

    No firearms? O.K. But any other weapon that is not a firearm can be used.

    Unfortunately these folks tend to be absolute cowards who will only do things they think they'll get away with sans consequences.  I'm sure the thought of real physical harm is absolutely abhorrent and outright frightening to them...  So they will yell insults at each other from the edges of the field until they are hoarse...
    Start shrinking the perimeter until they are face to face...

    Once they're through brawling, just be sure to shoot the survivors.  Auntie Maxi-pad had to cancel a few rallies she was planning on having because of "death threats"- - - - - -rumor has it those threats came from her mirror!

    It should be a very broad brush. Refusing service to anyone should be a business owner's right. Don't want to sell to blacks? Fine, but don't expect any non-bigots to enter your establishment.

    I was thinking the Civil Rights Act of 1964 kind of frowned on that.

    LBJ got his civil rights act passed, but he was a little off with his "200 year" prediction- - - - -that voting bloc is getting tired of being lied to after only 50-something years.  Now they've got to pander to the illegals and the "free stuff" socialists!

    It may not be direct we won't serve you cause you are x ethnicity, but you can be made to feel unwanted and uncomfortable.  I know a women, half asian, sweet kid, grew up with my girls, went to a local small dinner.  Staff served her but the "regular" bubbas made loud slanderous comments while she was there.  No laws broken but management didn't say a word.  Think shell go back?

    Recently on FOX they made some clarification about the owner's story about asking Sanders and her family to leave per the request of her gay employees. Not only did she want them out of her restaurant, when the group walked across the street to another restaurant, she followed them and tried to get that restaurant to kick them out also. I wonder why all of the other networks didn't point that out?

    "Hurt" isn't sufficient- - - - -The next time a bunch like ANTIFA starts throwing rocks, bottles, and fireworks at a group with a properly executed permit to march like they just did in Portland Oregon, it's time to lock and load, and take out a few dozen of those paid anarchists.  Then let's see if they're able to recruit replacements without upping the pay scale exponentially.  Until anarchy starts gets deadly, it's all fun and games for the worthless scum.

    Don't even consider comparing them to another political group that broke windows, set fires, and physically assaulted citizens who supported the current government and/or practiced a certain religion in early 1930s Germany. ANTIFAscism my DONKEY!

    Bikers For Trump showed up at the Red Hen Restaurant today, but it is still closed; not supposed to open until the 5th of July, maybe. The owner may have stirred the pot a lot more than intended, and may have to wait a good while before reopening. I guess she and her employees will have to do without any money for a while. Too bad, so sad................................... NOT!

    Just because a law was passed, does not mean it is constitutional or even righteous. If I own a business, it should be my right to not conduct business with anyone for any reason. The CRA destroyed the concept that all transactions should be voluntary...in other words, without government coercion. For both the customer and the proprietor.  

    Will you defend 1968 GCA simply because it is a law? 

    When our governing officials dismiss due process as mere semantics, when they exercise powers they don’t have and ignore duties they actually bear, and when we let them get away with it, we have ceased to be our own rulers.

    I guess my "problem" is that I am excessively law abiding. I don't consider agreeing with a law a requirement for obeying it. Our brilliant founding fathers crafted a democratic republic allowing as much freedom as possible. Why not 100% freedom? They were well aware that 100% freedom rapidly devolves into 100% chaos. Why? humans will always be humans. I am currently defending the portion of the mostly terrible 1968 GCA that allows 18-20 year olds to legally purchase 'long arms' and the ammunition they use.

    The term "law abiding" should be replaced with "peaceable". No victim, no crime. America has devolved into a society that criminalizes acts that harm no one. FYI - Restricting ALL 18-20 year olds what they can or cannot buy is not chaos, it is tyranny. They can vote and die for their country, but cannot purchase a handgun from an LGS?

    The beer thing is a law, courtesy of Uncle.  Without researching, I believe the rental car thing is set by the companies themselves? At any rate if it is a law, it should be changed.

    I think it’s 25 to rent a car but you can be the “second driver”.  I rented a few for my kids when they were younger.  And yes it’s an insurance thing.  If they allowed under 25 to be primary renter the rest of us would have to pay double to rent a car to subsidize it.

    You and knitepoet are correct. My auto insurance requires a driver that I loan my car to have a valid driver license and be over 25 years old. Another rental car requirement I recall is a credit card. Just a couple of things not required by government law but by banks and insurance companies that make their own policies (laws).
