Re: Tim Stellerβs Political Notebook: TV anchor survives Internet blunder.
Roberto Palacios: Egg them on and you might get egg. If you protest against something, then you need to be prepared for others who may not agree with you. Thatβs the trade-off. If you canβt take it, then donβt come out and play.
Karl Frederick Newkirk: So if I see someone with a T-shirt supporting someone I disagree with politically, or maybe they yell at me, I have the right to physically assault them? I do not think so.
Ken Rineer: I do not know Paul Cicala personally so I cannot say what the intention of his tweets were; however, I did not take them as it appears most others have. Maybe he is a flaming liberal Trump hater and was defending the protesters, but then again, maybe he was doing what I often do, questioning the mediaβs bias and suggesting that one should not beat a hornetsβ nest with a bat, even if you have a right to do so.
Tamica Sears: Whatβs wrong with providing context? He wasnβt blaming her. He was asking for the entire story to be told.
Rich Kronberg: The egg-throwing incident shows us the bright line between protected speech and criminal assault. When the woman taunted the protesters she was exercising her right to free speech. Whether or not it was dumb, provocative or anything else, it was free speech and she had a right to do it.
