I was as well, as I worked in NOVA at the time. But as soon as you open the gate to allow vigilante justice, then it becomes a pogrom pretty quickly. And don't think those don't occur. There was a massive one in India 20 years ago where thousands of ethnic minorities were murdered because of something an individual did. You give people a green light to exercise their prejudices without consequences. There's no agreeing to disagree. You either support the rule of law or you don't. It's pretty straightforward.mcgruff10 said:
I teach history but like many others I am a person that was greatly effected by 9/11. I stand by my opinion. Sorry bud, no one should have been publicly celebrating the deaths of nearly 3,000 civilians especially while in view of the New York skyline.mrussel1 said:
Dude.. you're a history teacher aren't you? Why is this okay, because you agree with it? Is it okay also when a black guy rapes a white woman? When isn't it okay?mcgruff10 said:
I'm ok with it in this instance. The 1950's, no way Jose.mrussel1 said:
You're advocating lawlessness and vigilante justice. We used to have quite a bit of that in the South only 50 years ago.mcgruff10 said:
I have no problem with that in this instance. You celebrate while in view of the towers, yeah your ass should be thrown in jail or get a severe beating. In my mind those actions speak volumes, you are supporting the enemies of the United States.OnWis97 said:Thirty Bills Unpaid said:
If you’re an American celebrating the tower attacks on the day they occurred... then from my way of thinking... you’re an enemy of the people and should be treated as such.mrussel1 said:
It's easy to be for freedom of speech when it isn't objectionable. The test of the amendment is when we find the speech reprehensible.my2hands said:People excusing even the thought of Americans celebrating the 9/11 attacks?
I'm all for freedom of speech, but c'mon folks? That wasn't a rally of fucking Illinois Nazi's, that was a disastrous terrorist attack.
Enemy of the people...that seems to be a common excuse for relaxing the first amendment.
Let's agree to disagree and move on.Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0 -
Nobody was. And if you're going to post a New York Post article as evidence, I've got a bridge to sell you.mcgruff10 said:

Let's agree to disagree and move on.Except apparently it didn't happen, so.... there's that.dignin said:Anyways, the whole premise that Muslims were celebrating in New Jersey after the towers fell is complete bullshit.

It doesn't matter if it happened or not. People are allowed to be aholes in this country. They are allowed to be scumbags. They are allowed to celebrate our enemies, which Jane Fonda did during Vietnam as an easy example. But that doesn't give anyone the right to beat the shit out of Jane Fonda or string her up.mcgruff10 said:

fI the people who were celebrating the attack were beat up, then I would hope that they (the people throwing the punches) would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. However the people celebrating definitely deserved to get a punch or five to the face. It's like being a Yankees fan and running your mouth at Fenway, you just don't do it.

Not even remotely a good example nor comparison. You should be able to go to a sporting event and root for whoever the fuck you want without the fear of some mouthbreathing fan of the other team giving you a "punch or five to the face." That's just fucking stupid thinking. Adults should act like adults, not gladiators. Stop with the "asking for it" mentality. When given the option, one should always choose to be the better person.mcgruff10 said:

It's pretty straightforward.mcgruff10 said:
I teach history but like many others I am a person that was greatly effected by 9/11. I stand by my opinion. Sorry bud, no one should have been publicly celebrating the deaths of nearly 3,000 civilians especially while in view of the New York skyline.mrussel1 said:
Dude.. you're a history teacher aren't you? Why is this okay, because you agree with it? Is it okay also when a black guy rapes a white woman? When isn't it okay?mcgruff10 said:
I'm ok with it in this instance. The 1950's, no way Jose.mrussel1 said:
You're advocating lawlessness and vigilante justice. We used to have quite a bit of that in the South only 50 years ago.mcgruff10 said:
I have no problem with that in this instance. You celebrate while in view of the towers, yeah your ass should be thrown in jail or get a severe beating. In my mind those actions speak volumes, you are supporting the enemies of the United States.OnWis97 said:Thirty Bills Unpaid said:
If you’re an American celebrating the tower attacks on the day they occurred... then from my way of thinking... you’re an enemy of the people and should be treated as such.mrussel1 said:
It's easy to be for freedom of speech when it isn't objectionable. The test of the amendment is when we find the speech reprehensible.my2hands said:People excusing even the thought of Americans celebrating the 9/11 attacks?
I'm all for freedom of speech, but c'mon folks? That wasn't a rally of fucking Illinois Nazi's, that was a disastrous terrorist attack.
Enemy of the people...that seems to be a common excuse for relaxing the first amendment.
Let's agree to disagree and move on.

They would get an ass whuppin?mcgruff10 said:
If you don’t fly airplanes into buildings then none of that happens. Imagine what would happen to people If they celebrated a drone strike in Syria or Afghanistan?tbergs said:
And somewhere in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, etc. is a grieving widow whose family was killed in a drone strike who feels the same way and thus the cycle continues. It's the pathetic human need for vengeance.mcgruff10 said:
True. But those people celebrating deserve a genuine ass whooping.mrussel1 said:
