Shelby Shoup, a Gillum intern, arrested for assaulting FSU College Republicans

[Don2 (Don1 Revised)]

Also, the victim was a conservative and the milk wasn't white.

If I'm not mistaken, she threw a chocolate milk at a black guy. Could that be construced as racist? Maybe she should be charged with a hate crime?

I read on a conservative website that he was Jewish and said "Love is the answer." Which really matches Trump's rhetoric.

Really? Arresting someone for battery for throwing chocolate milk at somebody?

What's so strange about arresting someone for a crime they clearly committed?

The trivality of the incident. We usually do not see people arrested for jaywalking or speeding or spitting on the sidewalk either.

Of course, all of this begs the question of whether throwing milk on someone ought to be a crime in the first place.

It's idiotic to pass laws that either can't be enforced or aren't enforced. Why do you think people pass such laws? What's the point? Doesn't it cause people to be more inclined to break other laws?

Someone needs to throw some eyebrow clippers her way.

Those don't look real since they don't follow her eyebrow line......OTOH, I'm guessing her carpet needs a trim.

Chocolate milk throwing does seem a bit trite, IMHO. On the other hand, would you want to be one to make a list of the acceptable items that can be thrown and not thrown? How about a glass full of water thrown by an annoyed woman in a man's face in a bar? Eh, no big deal. How about a 5 gallon bucket of water dumped on an elderly lady who told some kids to get off her lawn? Where's the line with regard to quantity and "grossness" of the stuff thrown? Does the age, race and gender of the victim count?

Good questions - come back when you have the answers.

Violence begets violence, hate begets hate.

I know. We've got Republicans killing people and sending them bombs. Derec saying it's a false flag and then starting a thread about chocolate milk. Chocolate milk...

Sorry, but bias and hyperbole are not justification to commit mass murder.

Tell that to the militias racing to the border to protect us from a caravan of people seeking asylum.

It’s because the triviality of the crime causes it to be really funny when someone says we need to take it seriously. Especially in relation to the serious crimes of politically motivated assaults happening in context of the discussion about it.

Someone had a glass of milk thrown at them. It’s like in the context of a lot of discussion about dumping toxic material, someone starts a thread about a dude who spit his gum in the street. It would be funny that the comparison between the two is being made.

The harm is minor, the punishment will no doubt be light. That doesn't make it not a crime.

Wait, you’re afraid of a strong eyebrow and pubic hair????

Lololol

Not at all, but I'm fascinated by your leap to that conclusion. Please tell me more.

Stuff like this gets pleaded down or is originally cited as an infraction. Essentially, you pay a fine. There's no probation like there would be with a misdemeanor. However, you do have to go through a bunch of headachey stuff and your wallet gets lighter. So it serves its purpose.

 

[Jarhyn]

Yeah, I have a standing policy that if someone tells me they aren't vaccinating their kids, I'll punch them in the face. I don't think this is an unreasonable response. Really, there are very few things I would be violent over, but the safety and welfare of children is one of the lines I've drawn past where civility is dead. And if I would do so to someone risking their kids' lives to disease, I would do so doubly for someone who supports a the separation policy and putting kids in detention centers to get sold, enslaved, and/or raped.

I am not a big fan of having people being charged with massive assault charges for splashing cold beverages on people.

Justice Kavanaugh probably agrees, don't you think?

True! Justice Bart O'Kavanaugh considers any spillage to be abuse!

 

[Derec]

People dying has a tendency to piss other people off. It can even make them temporarily lose their shit.

But neither the College Republicans nor DeSantis are responsible for what happened in Pittsburgh.
It would be like a Republican intern attacking College Democrats over Omar Mateen shooting up that night club in Orlando.

 

[Derec]

Was there a divisive sign that she was talking about?
The video is cut up, so maybe she mentioned it...

I am guessing the "DeSantis for Governor" sign she ripped out. Because only Gillum should be allowed to have signs ...

At any rate, I am glad she is looking out for her people. Everyone should.

Who are her people? Is she Jewish?
If so, she is going at it in an ass-backwards way. She joined an "Students for Justice in Palestine". a radically anti-Israel outfit with ties to Hamas.
On the other hand, the Republican Party tends to be pro-Israel, and Trump even moved the US embassy to Jerusalem.

 

[Derec]

I am not a big fan of having people being charged with massive assault charges for splashing cold beverages on people. This should be a misdemeanor at most. Nothing that can derail getting a job for the first strike.

She is not being charged with "massive assault" but with simple battery, which is a misdemeanor. I think the police acted appropriately.

I did not say it was a false flag. I said it might have been, before the guy was caught.

and then starting a thread about chocolate milk. Chocolate milk...

Just because there are felonies, does not mean misdemeanor crimes should not be prosecuted. This chick committed battery, and should face appropriate consequences.
Do you think she should get a pass because of her political leanings? Or because of her gender?

 

[Derec]

You started a thread over spilled milk, chicken little.

I started a thread about battery with a political motive. But a person working for a gubernatorial campaign. A person who should never have been hired by Gillum's campaign because she is a self-described communist.

[Derec]

Oh my gosh! She called them Nazis!

All the while she is an admitted commie. A violent one, too. And she looks like Uncle Leo.

 

[Derec]

I remember a time when conservative males would sexually harass a women,

This chick wasn't "sexually harassed". She instigated the whole thing!

get a drink thrown in their face, and then just laugh it off. What ever happened to these tough skinned guys? Now they just skip food fight and go right to calling police and crying.

So you are saying throwing drinks at people should be allowed? Or only if women do it?
Had a College Republican thrown chocolate milk at her simply because she supported Gillum, would you be defending him?
