Mob chants threats outside Tucker Carlson’s DC home, destroys property
Mob chants threats outside Tucker Carlson’s DC home
A self-described left-wing Antifa group posted videos of a mob outside the Washington, D.C., home of Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Wednesday evening, chanting, “Tucker Carlson, we will fight. We know where you sleep at night.”
The host said activists rang his doorbell, broke his oak door and one protester was apparently caught on security video mentioning a pipe bomb.
Life in this world is a privilege, and people who comport themselves as described in the OP are welcoming a petition to have it revoked. I don't give a damn what their "reasons" are--you took it way over the line and now are open to pay the price.
You already know the cowards would try and play the victim if Tucker (or anyone in that position) came out shooting.
Now, one could argue for a game of the varying degrees of escalation, such as--(i) have signs on the lawn (or otherwise in clear view) at all times stating intent to defend against trespassers (ii) have a microphone installed that broadcasts to the outside notifying them the police were contacted, and they are all subject to force if not dispersed immediately (iiia) some kind of warning shots or flare (iiib) possible improvised less than lethal force (be creative?) (iv) fire on site until threat is neutralized.
That is all well & good, in principle. Now, the fact is, the one on the receiving end has no idea what the peoples intentions are, how quickly or likely they may be to escalate the situation, if they were willing to use force against the family directly then letting them smash up against the front door is giving up way too much ground and not in the position one wants to be, they do not have the first few stated lines of defense in order prior to the incident, and, the crucial factor--it is not the families responsibility to cower and "hope for the best"/"hope for the attackers restraint, mercy, & benevolence", rather it is the attackers responsibility to not f'ck with people or else face their wrath.
Mob chants threats outside Tucker Carlson’s DC home, destroys property
Hello R:
They should stay on public property, but I'm FINE with them keeping him up all night.. He's a public figure.. The public wants to send him a message.. That's the way it goes.
You're ok with them keeping him up all night; what about his kids and neighbors? Shouldn't this mob show consideration for others when throwing a temper tantrum?
Harassment is a crime that Con apparently approves of. .
Hello A:
Look.. Your reading skills are on a par with poochy boy.. .
I DID say in my post that the protesters SHOULD stay on PUBLIC property... And, IF they did, the 1st Amendment to my beloved Constitution says they have a fucking RIGHT to demonstrate their asses off..
Like your brethren right wingers, your support for the Constitution is SELECTIVE..
You think a person can’t be harassed on public property? They can. If those protesters stayed on the sidewalk, the police would have been justified in arresting them for harassment, disorderly conduct, and perhaps unlawful assembly.
The Constitution doesn’t protect your right to keep people up at all hours with shouting and threats. Get your own stick fuckhead.
But STUPOR STUPID your protesters did not stay on PUBLIC property ! Did you SOMEHOW miss that ???? CNN must have lied to you DUMMY !!!!!!!!! What is going to happen to your protesters STUPOR STUPID is they are going to get killed and then i want to hear praise of the Constitution that is beloved to you !!!!!!!
Shouldn't this mob show consideration for others when throwing a temper tantrum?
Hello High
Yeah.. Civil disobedience isn't NICE.. It's not supposed to BE nice.. If it were NICE it wouldn't DO shit. But, because it's NOT nice, it DOES shit.. That's WHY the founders of this great land of ours PROTECTED the right of the people to assemble..
I thought right wingers LOVED the Constitution.. No, huh?
You have a right to protest, but you don't have a right to disrupt the peace, interfere with people's rights to freely move about, blockade traffic, interfere with commerce, or damage peoples property- that is NOT protected. That's why you get arrested and go to jail.

Hello High:
I dunno.. Let's look.
1. We have a right to protest - TRUE.
2. We don't have a right to disrupt the peace - NOT true.
3. We don't have a right to interfere with commerce - NOT true.
4. We don't have the right to blockade traffic - NOT true.
5. We don't have a right to damage property - TRUE.
Civil disobedience is MESSY.. In fact, this nation was BORN in dissent.. Did the participants in the Tea Party respect commerce? NO.. Did they disrupt the peace? YES. Should they have made an appointment with the ship captain to ask him very nicely if they could throw his tea overboard? NO!
The fact that this is the one thing on your list that is unacceptable proves that the government only exists to protect and serve the wealthy. As long as you have bought your way into having enough "property" no one can effect you, and it is those who have all of the "property" that are the thing we need to be civilly disobedient about in the first place. Everything in the country is their "property" and all you have the right to do is make a lot of noise for them to ignore.
Against the establishment and taxes. In this case the Libs are the establishment & the taxers
Hello Spot..
Well then.. THAT protest must have been LEGAL because you AGREE with it.. But, that AIN'T how the Constitution works.. People have a right to protest even if you don't like it..
Let's take Colin Kaepernick.. He's protesting police brutality.. I KNOW that because he SAYS it. You, on the other hand, SAY he's protesting something else..
That's actually CRAZY.. I'm pretty sure that an American citizen can decide for himself what he's protesting about.. And, I don't know why you wouldn't BELIEVE him..
Nonetheless, the Constitution doesn't give a FUCK whether you APPROVE of someone taking advantage of their Constitutional rights..
Allow me to correct this ignorant buffoon. The Constitution grants us the right to PEACEFULLY assemble. Thanks again for proving that you lack a functioning brain.
Civil disobedience is most often illegal. That’s why it’s called “disobedience”. The founders didn’t protect it. The Constitution doesn’t protect a mob such as the harassing private citizens either, as they were not trying “peaceably to assemble”.
What don't you understand here ?????? Is the Constitution now important to the Left ?
STUPOR STUPID, tell us about your hero, DAVID DUKE.
ROFLMAO.
David Ernest Duke (born July 1, 1950) is an American white supremacist, white nationalist politician, white separatist, antisemitic conspiracy theorist, Holocaust denier, convicted felon, and former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.
Nathan Bedford Forrest, called Bedford Forrest in his lifetime, was a cotton farmer, slave owner, slave trader, Confederate Army general during the American Civil War, first leader of the Ku Klux Klan, and president of the Selma, Marion, & Memphis Railroad
No way NOM a Demorat would be a slave owner !!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s harassment, and it’s a crime. If they would have successfully entered that home, Mr.Carlson would have been right to open fire.
People should note that this is the same partisan hypocrite who earlier claimed the 30 women who have accused Donald Trump of sexual harassment are "victimizing" him.
Hootie: Your Fuhrer was literally put under federal investigation for discrimination against blacks. Over thirty different women have stepped forward to accuse him of sexual harassment or rape.
Amarel: Let’s not pretend that Trump is the only one who’s character is attacked.
When you live in a society that is violence-phobic and afraid to 'step on peoples toes' emotionally, it leaves everyone vulnerable to attack. The nihilists & punks are trying to push everything into a morally gray area, so that the only ones who can be aggressive are the criminals. This nonsense needs to be stopped.
Create clear boundaries, cross them at your own risk.
You cannot expect to go to a man's home to terrorize his wife and kids, with impunity. A world that allowed that would be indistinguishable from Hell.
Let those pathetic degenerates congregate somewhere isolated & f'ck up their own lives (which they are doing a damn good job at). As soon as they try and push their misery and bs on others in this way, they can upgrade their standard tickets for the express lane to Hell.
If the mob had stayed on public property and kept their harassment to noise, the reasonable response is to call law enforcement. They are there to do violence, according to objective standards, on behalf of the innocent. When a violent response is not immediately required, 911 is the best route.
As for the nihilists, I disagree with their most fundamental principles; but for a nuanced, intellectually consistent (and inadvertently moral) nihilistic perspective, talk to Jace.
Perhaps it’s time for another morality subjective/objective debate.

Hello x:
In THIS great country of ours, you're allowed to speak freely 24 hours a day on public property.. If somebody can't sleep, they should move to Russia where they don't allow free speech..
Edit: I just saw a video for the first time of the event, it appears as though they stayed off the lawn and driveway (not what I originally envisioned)? If so, they should call the police and let them handle it/break it up, get restraining orders, etc. For the future, he should put up lawn posters indicating the price for violating private property, and overall fortify his home.
Still, these people do not understand the entire concept of America--or why the "Don't Tread on Me" flags are so popular, still.
You cannot expect to go to a man's house and terrorize his wife and kids, with impunity.

excon
Hay STUPOR STUPID is your PARTY open game ?????????? Come Little Gurl what you got to say ????????????
First, he is not a public figure. He is a private citizen exercising he 1st Amendment Rights to great effect.
Second, that mob was harassing his wife. If no one stopped them, they would be harassing his children. Would it be ok for a mob to threaten and harass your family for your publicly aired views?
Proof that liberalism is a mental disorder. These people are the lowest common denominator of humanity. They are lawless. They are just plain evil. Nothing anyone says can ever change this. They need to be exterminated.
He's a public figure.. The public wants to send him a message..
He's a moderate that supports universal healthcare & some parts of socialism in his book. What was the message? For him to move further right out of self defense? They called him a fascist and broke his door down while his wife hid in a closet. You are a disgrace.
Tax-Subsidized Corporations? Tucker Carlson and Bernie Sanders Get It Wrong

Hello c:
I read the Constitution.. We have a right to protest.. It doesn't say that you have to AGREE with the reason for the protest.. The right to protest is sacrosanct even if you HATE the reasons why it's being done..
Look.. You don't agree with Kaepernick so you don't think he has a RIGHT to protest.. DUDE! That AIN'T America..
Are you cool with some right wing group going to Schumer's house, using a bull horn to tell jim they know where he sleeps, knocking his door in, trapping his wife, and vandalizing his car and house?
Your protected freedom of speech and your right to peaceably assemble are Constitutionally protected. You do not have a Constitutional right to harass, threaten, vandalize, or disturb the peace.
Everyone agrees that Kaepernick has every right to protest, which is why no one suggested arresting him. The NFL is under no obligation to continue to employ him, or to allow him, without sanction, to act in a manner they determine to be unbecoming of their players.
I read the Constitution.. We have a right to protest.. It doesn't say that you have to AGREE with the reason for the protest.. The right to protest is sacrosanct even if you HATE the reasons why it's being done.
Your reasoning would support someone putting a bomb in your car in the name of free speech.
I read the Constitution.. We have a right to protest.. It doesn't say that you have to AGREE with the reason for the protest.. The right to protest is sacrosanct even if you HATE the reasons why it's being done..
Yes, yes. We know all about people practicing free speech, covering their faces, and blocking off streets, eh Con?
