CTYankee is inaccurate, however. Men dressed as women shouldn't be an issue since women commonly dress like men nowadays. These were men *pretending* to be women. Another thing entirely. (an example; Eddie Izzard commonly dresses as a woman, but he doesn't try to pretend to be a woman).
Still doesn't justify assault. But it does explain it.
A woman walking alone down a dark alley in a Florida town during spring break, in a bikini, doesn't justify her subsequent assault and rape... but it does explain it.
Diabetes has its origins in biology and genetics, too. That doesn't keep it from being a disease in need of proper treatment. Indulging a diabetic in the delusion that they're normal, and therefore can eat an entire German chocolate cake without consequences is the equivalent of mutilating and perverting a person's body rather than treating that disorder.
And you're being disingenuous... not *all* sexual deviancy is a result of biology and genetics; probably not even most, I suspect. But, you want to hide the majority behind the skirts of the minority.
And once again that bastard Holmes claims another rhetorical victim.
Yes... you *can*, per the Constitution. Only if there is property damage or someone is injured as a result should there be any repercussions for shouting "fire!" in a crowded theater that is not on fire.
I'm not a liberal, but you can say anything you wish... in the public arena. The 1st Amendment specifically prohibits the government from preventing you.
If you don't want to be judged negatively for your looks... then *choose* a look that reflects positive qualities. Choose not to pierce your body. Choose not to use it as a graffiti wall. Choose to groom yourself in a respectable way.
There's a difference between judging somebody because he wears clothes that don't fit, and judging somebody because he doesn't pull his darned oversized, overpriced pants back up over his ass. The former indicates poverty; the latter indicates a lack of good judgment and weak character.
When one purposefully acts provocatively, he shouldn't be surprised at the response. Unfortunately, the current legislation makes them a protected species and instead of being rebuffed for a specific behavior, others have to bear it, until it blows up as it did in Atlanta.
Appalled - is an understatement. Felonious assault against someone for a strangers personal life? And the crowd cheering? How 4th grader bully schoolyard are these adults? Betcha they have every justification for assaulting and prejudging these 2 people who were probably minding their own business... Who, like you, woke up that morning thinking how great it is to be alive...
I was wondering... what if it was your daughter, instead of these 2 strangers? She had put her hair in spikes to be silly, just this one time. And those people thought she was some "deviant anarchist punk, probably some dyke, that deserved it"?
