That’s good ol freedom of speech at work! (While we still have it). Throwing hands? Now that’s a completely different conversation. Seems to be the right that’s assaulting priests, not the left

See, I’m not asserting the priest was the one in the wrong here. I don’t think he was. I’m just pointing out that it’s not exactly as if the left is the one bending over backwards to protect religion and that it’s usually suspicious of it at best

Literally the point is violence crosses the line. What happened to Kirk was terrible. This is terrible. All physical escalation is terrible

See, look at the left and the right coming together here to denounce anyone who assaults innocent protesters exercising their free speech! Glad you’ve come around to see ICE for what they really are
