ht: National Terror Alert
Connecticut delegate Rob Simmons told FOX 9 that a group of protesters came toward his delegation and tried to rip the credentials off their necks and sprayed them with a toxic substance.
The unknown substance burned their eyes and stained their clothes.
One 80-year-old member of the delegation had to be treated for injuries, and several other delegates had to rinse their eyes and clothing.
Why do "progressives" keep using and getting away with such violence? Are they terrorists?
Does someone have to be killed before law enforcement and the courts treat this behavior with the appropriate seriousness? Clearly the Far Left doesn't believe there's going to be any real consequences for violence. That's a problem which must be addressed. They cannot be permitted to hijack America's or any country's democracy with violence.
Violence is anti-democratic. Why do so many young "progressives" prefer violence to civil, rational discourse? Is it because the only way they can get what they want is by violence and intimidation, as well as lying and cheating and so on and so forth? Is their position so poor and indefensible that they cannot possibly make a case for it? Why else would they attempt to use force and intimidation? Like Nazis, Communists, Islamic supremacists, etc.?
