Tool.
Yeah, that perfectly describes the guy who took one tweet from a politician and accepted it blindly, doesn’t matter if he likes to say “all politicians lie all the time.”
You mean the guy who posts a video from the protesters and accepts their narrative above anybody else's?
You know, if I was a younger man, I'd whip your ass just on general principles. In most bars, there exists one guy, you just know that a good ass-whuppin' could change his outlook for the better. Call it a pragmatic enrichment program.
Sadly, I'm past that point. Youth is certainly wasted on the young...

video from the protesters
More information in the video that allows for more accurate assessment of actually happened, more than a tweet for sure. Analogous to the videos from police officers body cameras compared to, say, a tweet from the district attorney.

I am happy that you have grown further from your violent tendencies; that’s a good personal development. Congratulations!

“Trying to pound open our door”? Complete fabrication on Hawley’s part. Polite knocking, yes. “Trying to pound open”, no.
I just flipped through the video
I hope you're not being serious
My wife would be terrified in this situation, home alone with the children
My wife would be in tears hiding in a closet somewhere
You are nuts

Ax, that is the most ridiculous post you have made in over 15 years. You consider demonstrating outside someone's private residence to be OK and non-threatening?
I don't. I'd support mowing them down with a Ma Deuce. And I don't care what side the protestors are on. There are just some things that should never, ever be tolerated. Not for a second.

Protesting outside some public figures‘ houses is a Constituionally protected, time-honored American tradition. There have been no lack of such protests in the past, and you have never condemned them (examples of protests at the houses of Pelosi, Schumer, Clinton, Jeff Bezo, Rahm Emanuel, Gavin Newsome below), maybe becuase you have never heard of these protests. Why? Probably because these public figures recognize this First Amendment exercise and did not tweet about it like a crybaby as Hawley did.

Both Mik and I have condemned this practice on multiple occasions. doesn't fit your narrative, does it?
BTW, the last protest at Pelosi's home, complete with severed pig head, was done by Leftists.
That's not expressing constitutional rights. That's a threat of violence.

Your right to peacefully protest ends where my property line begins. None of the videos show demonstrators crossing onto private property, and several of them show a rather large police presence.
At Hawley's, the demonstrators were on his property (front porch) and there were, I believe 3 cops keeping that from happening again. When the demonstrators are at your front door, either knocking or pouring (you can believe whom you wish about this), that's threatening.
And don't get me started on restaurant "demonstrations."

I was just looking at that thread the George-K started: https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/6451/careful-graffit ... I haven‘t see you or Mik make a peap there yet.

I'm sorry, but if you haven't figured out personal positions after years of posts on a particular subject, you are either a fool or blindly partisan.
I don't think you are a fool.

Good, at least you acknolwedge that some forms of protests at private residences are acceptable, unlike Mik who seem to have taken the position that no protest outside private residence is acceptable and want to mow the protesters down with a “Ma Deuce”, whatever that means.
As for whom to believe on knocking vs. pounding, I believe the video more than I believe the tweet. Afterall, Jolly kept telling us that all politicians lie all the time, but Jolly hasn‘t say that all protesters lie all the time.

Hawley was caught in a lie, sure, but we shouldn’t declare open season on him for that.
Now that‘s a reasonable position.
Peaceful protest outside, OK.
But don’t block the entrace, don‘t spray paint his house, don’t leave a pighead or blood or aynthing like that. Respect the town’s existing ordinaces too, as applicable (e.g., if the town ordiannce says quiet hours starts at 9PM, pipedown by 9PM).
