  1. The report I heard was that the anti-guy threw a punch, though that was after the pro-guy initiated a verbal confrontation. We should wait to see what emerges. And we should note in passing that choosing to bear arms in what could have remained a peaceful political context is itself a non-peaceful escalation that puts people on both sides on edge. There is no such thing as peacefully bringing a gun to political event. That choice is itself a violent one, as are the choices to throw a punch or to bite someone’s finger off.

    1. No doubt. Apparently the pro-guy just went up to the anti-guy and started calling him an idiot. That will occasionally get you punched. But then punching will occasionally get you bit.

      Not that you were responding to me, but I’m blaming the jitteriness on both sides, and quickness to actual violence, partly on the introduction of the threat of violence to the discussion by the act of bearing arms. Perhaps that’s stilted or contentious, but there it is.Report
