Read the story. McGinty did nothing wrong.

Get used to it Eddie!
 
This is unfortunately a battlefield now.
Enemy combatants are going to suffer casualties!

Ummm, I'll take a shot at answering that question...decent, stable, intelligent adults?

Obviously way more to the story.

Were Sheriff's Deputies called? Report Made?
 
Great surveillance cams at Winn Dixie and in the parking lot. If something happened it will be recorded. Sumter County Sheriff's will investigate any crime thoroughly, if its reported.

If figure anyone riding about with inflammatory signage on their cart is "cruisin' for a bruisin'"

Too bad these situations end in violence. It takes two to play.

Patently untrue, but explains...a lot. :oops:

Your "right" to be offended from legal signs or protests, does NOT extend to a "right" to physically assault...the one offending you.

Exactly, but what I find interesting is that this comment doesn't appear until half-way through this thread.

The rally did not meet or drive near the Winn Dixie. Sorry to hear he was attacked but it did not happen at the rally.

Sounds like a Jessie Smollett case.

Martin Luther King peacefully led protests about civil rights. There were protests against the Vietnam War, mostly peaceful. What cause is McGinty and others of his ilk protesting--the election of a President? What McGinty and others do is not protesting. They attend rallies and other events to agitate, confront, and practice hate speech with his signage. My advice to McGinty is to organize his own events consistent with HIS political beliefs, attend the meetings of the Democrat Club, and vote on November 3rd. McGinty was looking for trouble and he found it--any school kid knows that.

Wondering the same.........I wonder if his injuries were self inflicted? I have not heard of anyone saying they saw this happen and it supposedly happened on a public venue. The picture shows three scratches straight down under his left ear and two bruises on his lips. The pictures are available on the online news.

I only say that because it appears to me by his very inflammatory signs and his aggressive stance that he is very interested in negative attention.

He certainly has the right to peacefully protest without threat of bodily harm to himself.

I would suggest maybe not display a sign that says “hang him,” though (?)

I recently posted about political signs and what they do.

Mr McGinty certainly has every right to express his views but there is always a risk when doing so.

I'm not blaming Mr McGinty. I'm just saying that there are people out there that don't need much to provoke them to violence. Signs such as Mr McGinty and others have on their golf carts, cars and houses are all some people need.

Thank God that those people are few and far between among us.

McGinty keeps stirring the pot............
