As to someone stating a sarcastic comment about the "friendliest town in America" I say, as compared to what town? It may still be a valid statement if you compare the population of this community to towns across America. Just saying.
By the way, perhaps whomever(?) assaulted Eddie saved him from his fanatical progression toward stepping over the legal line in his insinuations of aggression toward our President. "Hang him" comes real close to a threatening posture. Perhaps, the Secret Service should investigate this matter and keep an eye on his to prevent future injury?
Yes, that's me being facetious.

I can appreciate facetiousness and sarcasm, but you might not be too far off the mark. I remember the old western movies where the vigilantes would break into the jail and get the person they were mad at. The guy that shouted "Hang him" the loudest never had the rope or helped string it up but was the most vocal in insisting it must be done. The rabble rousers are a big part of the problems we are experiencing across the country.
I believe in freedom to peacefully protest, but the rabble rousers that promote violence are, imho, dangerous and counter productive.

Tonight I'm going to go down to metro Atlanta wearing my MAGA hat and Blue Lives Matter t-shirt. I'll let you know tomorrow how it all works out. I'm sure I'll get lots of complements.

The BIGGER (big picture) issue is why do we have tribal neighborhoods. Are we NOT equal? I ponder that. President L. Johnson made some great steps many years ago. We had busing, an expensive, near dead end. Why not Federal encouragement for integrated neighborhoods. The US Military is better integrated than the US in general. Why?

I want my friendly hometown back where no one knew or cared how or who you voted for. Our current political environment is dividing our country, not making it stronger. This is exactly what our current adversaries want. A weaker America makes us a target to outside influences.

I agree, let's turn the clock back to 2016, hmmmm! Life is good!

Maybe "she". Not sure.

[Jacob85]

So you are excusing him for violent behavior because he has different beliefs so can’t control himself?

[Jacob85]

We are not responsible for another persons behavior

The fabric of society is torn and will stay that way until a vaccine or prevention for CV is found!

Where is a hospital near full. Quite the contrary. They’re hemorrhaging (see how I did that ) money because they’re so empty and not allowed other procedures.

We cannot always trust what people say, sadly. Even those who post a lot on TOTV, like me.

Sounds like Ed may be dangerously unstable.

Remember the guy in S. Florida who was living in his van that was plastered with bumper stickers as he sent threatening letters to many prominent people?

The outward signs are the same regardless which side of the aisle.

Fake news..

[donassaid]

Probably fake news as the rally was not at Winn Dixie. Furthermore, the handful of "protesters" who turned out by Panera Bread were hostile, obnoxious, confrontational and hurling the F bomb at Trump supporters in golf carts. If I had been there, I might have punched somebody's lights out myself. Peaceful protests are protected speech and should be encouraged. However, in your face screaming profanities and threatening others is not protected speech. Protesters need to tone down their rhetoric and their actions.

What the hell is happening to my country?

Uhh.....Can you so easily forget Minneapolis, Seattle, those bastions of liberal embarrassment to the United States!

Hospitals are not part of the big picture.....But, examples would be Tulsa, parts of Texas, N. Carolina, and Arizona. Fl and Tn are dark red on the map because they have set recent daily records for case increases. Other than that, NOT so much.
