Would you have raised your fist?

To the protestors?

Yes.

Where is this going?

People will ascribe their own motives regardless of what I say but it’s a question I’ve asked myself. Personally, I’m such a contrarian by nature, I feel confident I’d be in the “hell no” category but I think either response can be reasonable.
 
I’m sure most here heard about protesters at restaurants demanding people raise their fists in solidarity and confronting the few that wouldn't. There’s some video here if haven’t seen it.

BLM activists brand anyone who won’t raise their fist in protest ‘white supremacists''' as they surround diners

If you were at one of these restaurants at that time, do you think would you have complied?

I put myself solidly in the 'i dont know' category simply because it would depend upon the situation. If I was out with my kids or my girlfriend I might just do it so I could enjoy my meal and avoid a confrontation. But these sorts of aggressive leftist tactics drive people away from their cause not toward it

Everyone is a “contrarian” when there is no risk.......hypothetical questions don’t get the debate any further along.
 
Why are you here?


Same old weak sauce..........stand by youR principles whether you, your SO, or your kids are at risk.

“Don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.....”

Um...if you're going to try to eclipse the revelation that our President thinks that troops who died for our country are suckers and losers, you should probably find news less...stale.
 
If someone corners me, threatens me, boxes me in? They're getting a raised fist to the nose or throat.
 
If I saw a bunch of protesters converging on a restaurant I was in I would be easing out the door. Come back later and pay the bill

People who act that way are just trashy. It's free speech and nobody has to go along in that way. If you don't want free speech then we should stop those BLM from the protest and the harassment. Of course I've sad a long time, Democrats (and their extreme left, anarchist, socialist, communist) don't want free speech, they hate America and are only using the politics to achieve the ruination of America. Look it up, Communist Goals for America 1963. They are about half way through the list. Country going to hell while good folks watch.

So the evidence that trump made that comment while there for an event to do with WWI is patently false. It's a made up lie and at least 10 people have said so. If it's true where are the anonymous source that makes a claim and won't own up to it? A lie, and one that Joe Biden is endorsing in a campaign add without any verification. Lying Joe Biden.

No one compels your participation.

Im not going to get into a fight over nothing with a mob of violent leftists with my kids sitting there. And neither would you tough guy. The difference between us is that I am honest
