    Well, you have to consider the context. What was the selfish pig doing?

    Why do the protesters need him to criticize Israel?

    Maybe I misread the article you originally posted but doesn't it say he was walking by and they recognized him? He lives in NY so I'm not sure that's exactly putting yourself in a situation or using one's fame as much as it is some recognizable New Yorker walking home (much as my wife and I recognized him walking in the Village several years ago).

    "Baldwin was walking by the demonstration near West 29th Street when protesters spotted him and darted toward him, accusing him of supporting Israel."

    Well, do YOU understand the difference between disapproving of violence in a protest, vs disagreeing with a protest--even a riot--being spun as an "insurrection"?

    Rhetorical. Field/ignore at will.

    Well Baldwin wins again. Here we are two pages into a thread talking about Baldwin yelling at people yelling at him…
    So what.. it’s not like he shot someone.(this time) and it’s not like the protesters tried to fire bomb a building (this time).
    Nothing here.

    You didn't get anybody. I gave an honest, straight forward answer to the question I was asked. As for your response, I don't think I ever blamed Ray Epps for the violence. He simply said "We have to go into the capitol", on whether him & the FBI intended violence I doubt it. As for the violence on Jan 6 it is not like they were looting and burning down buildings like violent rioters do. As a matter of fact I would say the protesters were the recipients of most of the violence.

    Ask Ashli Babbitt if I'm talking bullshit......Never mind she was the recipient of undue violence so she is no longer here to answer.

    Someone in a raging mob smashed out a window and starts to jump through it, at your place, threatening the people you want to protect … good to know your are the type to just sit back and take it….

    A. How many law enforcement officers were killed?
    B. I can't ask Ashli Babbitt anything, she's dead. She has only herself to blame. It was a justified shooting.

    I do congratulate you, though. You and Vladimir Putin are in agreement over her death.

    BS The cop that shot Ashli was not in fear of immediate danger, you know that as well as me. Do you think the police should have opened fire on George Floyd rioters?
