Ever read huffpo or kos?

They routinely wish death on conservatives in comments. They have taken to turning off comments on news stories about a congress critter with cancer if he's an R, for example, cause of all the crazy death-wishing, and "I hope he suffers" nonsense.

Or the fact that BO's campaign website was filled with bloggers (they offered blogging space) that advocated for terrorism, etc (only pulled when pointed out by other blogs). (no, I'm not saying BO endorsed this, just that given the free opportunity, some pro-Obama nuts posted their insanity there)

There are crazies in every group.

She didn't "have it coming," no one does. That said, she was certainly engaging in a possibly dangerous activity. She could certainly expect she might be hassled contrary to her rights, just as the guy with the gun might have been hassled (heck, SHOT) by the cops overreacting—in spite of any legal rights he had.

What would a scab with an anti-union message expect showing up to a union rally? Hugs?

Would his abuse be legal? No. Should he have thought it to be likely before he headed there? Hell, yeah.

Not excusing it, they should be charged, but it doesn't surprise me.
