NSFW. Anti-trump supporters beating an older man because he supports Trump

Holy shit. All those pics and stories are so heartbreaking and scary.
Is all of these shameful behaviors worth it for the sake of 'Making America Great Again'?
Stay safe, minority US-Gaf.

Fucking disgusting. No need for this shit. Were they provoked in some manner?
This is not how things should be, it just makes it worse. Hopefully one day the minority becomes the majority or at least half and the country can be fixed.

No way we're gonna ever get the full story on this.
*Wait for more information*
Disgusting
IMO, this kind of hypocrisy is a degree worse than what they're against.

edit: he got his car stolen at the end?

That incident is fucked up no matter what, but that guy's other tweets....I'll wait for other sources on the context of that beat down. I'll repeat that beating is uncalled for no matter what.

Stonewall, a gay bar in Orlando got a call early this morning with a man saying that "Trump is president now; your gay bars are no longer safe."
This in the city that endured the Pulse massacre.

I'm not at all surprised. I wouldn't be surprised by the reverse either. People get vicious when they mobilize into with me or against me.
That said of course I hope they get charged. (Shouldn't have to be said but yeah). It was completely unnecessary.
No no no... reasonable discourse is going to be impossible going forward, isn't it? FUCK.

Horrible. This is not how we should be going about things. Violence and hate only begets more violence and hate.
This is not helping and will no doubt be used against people. Fuck.

How long will it take till MAGA scumbags realize they've been sold a lie? Maybe they'll be less emboldened then.

Alright im going to sleep. This is too much for me. I don't even know what to think.
The country showed up to the polls and voted for this.
This bloodshed has been asked for, no, democratically demanded by the electorate.
Between those who voted for and those who were willing to stand beside those voting for the escalation of racial conflict the violence will grow. Ballot or the bullet as great leaders once said, and the ballot has failed minority rights.
We can work towards a direction to try and improve things peacefully with the next elections but for now, defend yourselves. The country just said minorities are the enemy.

While the video needs context, the Twitter you're sourcing from is a trump supporter
nononononnonononono this is not how things should go at all
this shit will only fuel more hate
We are done. Rome is falling.
This is why we need to cool it with our emotions. We need to be calm and reasonable.
I don't think that means anything.
ISIS, Russia, Republicans, AND Trump Supporters love this video.
People want to fight back and hurt Trump they HAVE to think of better ways then this. This video is disgusting. Assault charges should be laid and justice needs to be served.
Not surprised. This is going to get a lot uglier from both sides before it gets better. There's going to be a lot of people who didn't vote and get a dose of reality as well.

What can I say folks? Let's just hope this is a night of fervor. And not the start of something worse. I fear that the unrest and division boils over. We can only hope laziness and indifference trumps whatever this is.
I'm going to sleep, I'll be praying for all of you in the States.
Keep safe.

Right and? This ain't JoeySalads making a fake youtube video for his channel, us simply viewing it isn't helping push the message.

It tells as that this video is going to be used as justification for the alt-right white supremacists.
Sorry, I don't know how to directly link to a video. Sadly have to put the twitter url where i found it from. As always, avoid the shitty comments below the video/etc
Not surprising. Hate breeds hate breeds hate.

Give them 6 months to a year after Trump is in office. They will then start getting pissed & say shit like, "We should've voted for Hillary instead!".

So much economic anxiety in those pics in OP.
They don't need any justification. They already know what they want. Whatever they do will be things they were just waiting to do anyway, and if not, they are smart enough to not react to shit like this knee-jerk fashion (unlikely.)
It's not going to blow over. It will taper off a bit but there will still be a greater amount of hate crimes committed every day. Just look at Brexit: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...dum-poland-islam-more-in-common-a7231836.html
Thanks, I'm just wary of sources the past few years
edit: nvm
Yeah this is going to get more and more fucked up.
Guy builds his campaign on racism and gets elected. Racists feel emboldened by this and step up their game, minorities who've already been downtrodden feel there's no high road to take anymore and resort to violence. Racists see minorities performing violent acts and respond in kind.. violence leads to violence leads to violence leads to violence...
This is day 1, things are going to get a lot worse in the next few months.

So is the poster.
Like how the video is also in response to tweets of abuse by Trump supporters. This whole thing is fucking stupid.
Fuck these kids, fuck the Trump supporters that abused the people in the OP and further along in the thread, fuck us for letting it get this far.
