re: #160 Killgore Trout

Sadly this is just more counterproductive behavior from protesters. The debate becomes about bad behavior, punching people, tearing down someone’s tent and fucking up a hot dog stand. I’m agnostic on the “right to work law” and willing to be persuaded either way. However the discussion becomes about defending or excusing bad behavior from protesters. It’s a lost opportunity.

Once some gets hurt or something gets destroyed, the human mind naturally focuses on that and ignores what a newly passed law says. Our minds are set up to focus on things that are immediate and visceral, not on a law that won’t take effect for 3 months. But that what Crowder at al are counting on. Those wingnuts are trying to focus the spotlight on the violence and away from the passage of the RtW law.
