    Perhaps the same reason you side with a fascist and are unable to answer basic questions?

    That is not the scary part. Here in Milwaukee, "peaceful protesters" are publishing the addresses of police officers on Facebook with descriptions of what their wives and daughters are doing and then "peacefully protesting" outside their house all day for days on end. It is flat out terrorism.

    So you would still deal with a guy who flew a Swastika out front over the big picture of Anne Frank being gassed? And you don't believe anybody should be allowed to take a picture of it and put it on an ad saying 'Don't Deal With Nazis?

    Agreed. Many years ago I contacted an attorney because I was upset about what another attorney did. In my mind, I felt that he was in the wrong (he cheated me and I was young and naive to think someone would be just as outraged about it) and wanted to seek a legal remedy. The attorney listened to my complaint and said "It's not against the law to be an a$$hole". I learned a valuable lesson that day.

    I can understand the outrage if this person was a public figure or a celebrity that can easily destroy somebody's business if it was publicized. But, not for someone who is a common citizen who happens to run a FB page. All she is doing is stating her opinion. She sounds annoying for telling the guy she planned to do it, but that doesn't rise to the level of criminality. She could have just as easily NOT said anything to him and gone home to post about it on her page. This should be a lesson to others to not blindly accept everything they hear and see.

    I posted earlier saying that it looks like it backfired anyway. He's been getting business and calls of support since this came out. She probably did his business a favor.

    And that's equivalent to supporting a sitting president how?
    Taking things to the absurd is the last desperate act as you lose an argument.

    This woman is one of thousands on the left who attempt to intimidate and silence those that dont tow the party line. In China they have one of these little people on every block watching you and reporting anything you say or do that doesn't conform and it started exactly like this in the beginning of the communist revolution.

    Forewarned is forearmed.

    I don't believe Anne Frank was actually gassed, but your point is well made...

    I absolutely agree that she acted horribly. This wouldn't even be a discussion if she had said nothing to the man and just vented her frustrations on her page. Regardless, it still doesn't rise to the level of being illegal. He can possibly try to sue her for slander and/or libel, but she hasn't broken any criminal laws.

    He's attempted fascism several times, this year alone...

    Read more if you like

    Hopefully, we have a more evolved system than they had in Germany in 1932 and should be able to stomp this **** out...

    Civil lawsuits do not require a law to be broken.

    This is what I wrote: He can possibly try to sue her for slander and/or libel, but she hasn't broken any criminal laws.

    Slander and libel are civil crimes which is why I used the conjunction "but" before mentioning criminal laws.

    It's exactly equivalent to telling people they have no choice but to support a sitting President even if they disagree with him. And yes, that's absurd as all get out. Thank god we live in America, where that isn't done.

    Opinions as they say are like *******s. Everybody has one.

    Sounds like you are saying Trumps a fascist as is anyone who supports him so anything goes. Nice excuse for anarchy

    No, thank you for admitting you have a better idea on how to run America than what's worked for the last two centuries. We now should elect a King, dictator, and autocrat who will rule us all with an Iron Bonespur, Whatta concept

    The physical act of Refusing to stand during the playing of our
    National Anthem was NEVER ALLOWED.Not until these dweeb-educated
    radicals thought it cute to knock down and apart every vestige of Americanism.
    Kneeling before a game is not the same as some little Pizza shop having
    a Trump flag.He is Our President.No matter how much the left denies.
    GET OVER IT.

    That is the EXACT reason he got cut. Half the QBs in the league are trash and they haven't been cut, so that is the only reason he was cut.

    And how exactly was it "NEVER ALLOWED"? I don't recall anybody standing by ready to pry people or players out of seats.

    It's pure nonsense of the first order.That seems to be the meme from
    the left.Just keep up this Must Hate Trump meme.Knowing full well the
    MSM is fully on board.It will surely wither on the vine like most
    radical memes.Because it's crap.The only place crap doesn't
    wither is around rotten stuff.Therein it thrives.
    There is not one inkling of Rottenness associated with some
    Pizza parlor owner having a Trump Flag in his restaurant.
    Especially knowing in advance what this rotten left thinks of
    our Flag and our National Anthem.
    They { these dweeb radicals } are out to prove how Rotten
    of americans they can be.
    I mean,I guess it's some perverse new experiment in Radicalness.
    Demonstrating how Unamerican one can be.

    Have no idea how you got there but okay. Lol
    On second reading it might be my error. I meant to say I have no problem saying your painted scenario was as absurd as what this lady attempted.
