While part of me enjoys watching these people get a taste of their own medicine, or the medicine they encouraged their followers to dish out, I'm not sure how I feel about this particular incident. Or more precisely, the crowd that engaged in it. This seemed, at least in optics, much more "violent" than most of the incidents I've seen involving progs and conservative politicians.
Those have mostly been extremely rude and childish. I would almost have preferred to see an incident like this play out with a prog crowd acting violent against a conservative. Because to me, the video makes the crowd (and the political side they are associated with) look dangerously violent. It's not a look I want to see associated with "our side".
I'd much rather see things like the backbone Lyndsey Graham grew, or what happened to Mitch McConnell this weekend, where normal people had had enough and told the nuts to get lost and leave him alone. I prefer to see "our side" stand up against this stuff, including to the point of physically defending themselves, than to see us engage in it and create psychotic crowds as the one in the video. One of the first things I thought of watching the video is the analog of how duster boy and those like him make gun owners look.
JMHO.
