"Teabaggers" and "stomp."
I try pretty hard in my posts not to hurl epithets. Generalization is also often not a good idea. There is exactly zero pattern of violence here. There are assaults in virtually every large gathering of people. Last time there was a concert someplace, do you think the police or security had
any incidents? Sure, they probably had a bunch.
How many "incidents" per 1000 people is normal/typical in any gathering?
How many in political rallies?
Do Tea Party rallies have more than average, or fewer than the average number of incidents?
Basing a POV on anecdote is pretty normal in the US, I'll admit. It's not terribly rigorous, however.
Bad incident, press charges. When you can demonstrate a statistically significant increase in such incidents as a function of politics, by all means, post away.
