The Villages needs to crack down on golf cart parades of this sort. I didn't move here to have politics shoved down my throat by people that have forgotten that we are retired and supposed to be living out our years having fun. Get a life or move please

It was started by a Tweet by you know who. I didn’t hear about it until then.

I do not participate in this stuff however I thought The Villages was still apart of America? You know, free speech and all that.

One woman? No one forced the guy in the cart to say what he did. And why would he choose to say those words?

When it comes time to vote, will we feel safe doing so? Is it o.k. to have a political bumper sticker on your car or will an angry mob descend on you and scare you away from the polling place.

We need to control ourselves plain and simple. There was nothing wrong with the Trump golf cart parade. There were no offensive banners, no one was shouting ugly things UNTIL the so called "protesters" got in their faces and turned things nasty. This golf cart parade would never have made it into the news at all if that one woman had just stayed home that day.

They are not attacking The Villages, only showing what someone said. Unfortunately it poorly reflects on all of us.

One week of peace!

This behavior is going to get out of hand! Not from me!

At our age did anyone ever hear about Live & Let Live?

I'm sorry this Scared our Community! Everybody I know from New Jersey called or texted to help me be aware of my surroundings.

Don't let the significantly less than one percent aberration change
your views of TV character.
The other 99.+++% overwhelming disapprove of such vile inconsiderate behavior.

Who have you ever met anybody in TV that behaves like that?
Everyone, at some time, should accept FACTS.

This thread is about "TV in the national news".

The ONLY...ONLY...reason this is in the national news is because the leader of the free world sent it around the world under his name.

The woman you speak of could be foul mouthed or a bully, but she did not cause the nationalnews to care.

You certainly have the right to deflect all you want, but the truth and facts do not support your deflection.

She moved here from Connecticut where I guess it's ok to walk up to peaceful cart rallies and yell FU in people's faces.

Twitter
There are no cart rallies in Connecticut, peaceful or otherwise. But no, the phrase you refer to won't ruffle most peoples' feathers there. We kinda stopped with the pinky-lifting pseudo-elitist nonsense by the time we reached high school and realized our great-grandmothers were fuddy-duddies.

Actually, my suggestion to TVBOUND would be to continue to read TOTV, and you will get a sampling of what citizens of this community are all about.

I have been here for 20 years now and I would recommend it. However, as so many post on here.....lots folks who live here believe one way only.

After 20 years here for me and 13 years on TOTV, I am repulsed by the activities on social media, and recently on our streets.

Still, I find these are extremes in behavior. I have found ways to navigate the hate, but it is an issue that grows here and needs consideration.

She/they were using abusive and profane language towards him, comparing him to Hitler, calling him a racist, etc all because he was driving his decorated golf cart in a Trump parade.

It was not just this one particular protester that was being offensive, there were others but that particular protester was off the rails bad. That guy lost his cool and said what he did. I'm not defending his words even a little bit. What he said was wrong and unacceptable. But what that woman and those other protesters were saying to those golf cart riders was also wrong, unacceptable and very inflammatory.

Imagine if I came up to you and called you every 4 letter word in the book, accused you of being a racist, videotaped your reaction to my offensive words and then only posted your reaction to my words (cutting what I said to you completely out) - "Look at how rude the people in TV are to newcomers!" - that would not be very fair would it?

I hope this incident didn't just put a target on TV in the eyes of ANTIFA/BLM and protesters. Only time will tell.

A peaceful rally with people showing respect for those with opposing opinions is fine and would be very unhappy if this was not allowed.
