Oh my! A Freeper almost hit me

[Gregory1230]

When I was in Central Florida Community College in Ocala, Florida and I was in walking in hall. I saw a freeper looked my Dem logo pin on my clothes and he said "Dumb Democrats" and saw his fists were going hit me, but I ran from him quickly. I left because I did not want in trouble.

I am not very happy here because I know there are lot GOP supporters around here including my parents. My mom suggested me don't wear Dem pin so I won't be in trouble.

I am sad right now. Oh well.

[LiberalVoice]

1. Next time crack him in his fucking mouth.

I wish some dumb fuck repug would try that shit with me. :shrug:

[Darkhawk32]

7. Me too... but 20" arms usually deters such things from occurring...

too bad.

[Demonaut]

57. thems some short arms....

:P

[ComerPerro]

159. LMAO

Very short arms.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

185. Lol. But they can still be scary...

[SammyBlue]

171. I know what you mean

I'm 6'2" and 255. I have 19 inch biceps and 64 inch shoulders. I shave my head and look pissed off all the time. No Freeper tries shit like that with me because I will beat their ass and I have a bunch of other liberals and friends in my Fraternity chapter that will help me out.

Mess with one, mess with all. :) Fuck the Freeps.

[bigbrother05]

34. Ask him if he would

take responsibility for his failures, just like the Prez did. Ha Ha

[Demonaut]

63. then take your pen, preferably a fountain pen and shove it into his neck

just below the jaw and........getting too visual

[MissMarple]

85. Sounds like the scene from "Red Eye". (spoiler)

Oops, the title is a spoiler. Hoo boy.

Rachel McAdams stabs the creep right in the windpipe with a pen. That made the movie for me. And was a natural release of some pent up hostility. If she hadn't have done something like that, that movie was going to drive me up the wall. :)

[librechik]

141. pen not so good--he could use it to breathe through

emergency tracheotomy

Just the elbow or heel of hand in the windpipe with great force (hard to do, people usually defend against it)

Try a stiff knee in the groin, then when his head goes down, drive the bone in his node into his brain with your other knee.

:hi:

that will wake him up!

Damn, I'm evil!

[MissMarple]

149. That works. And I wonder about Sandra Bullock's SING?

The solar plexus, instep, nose, groin sequence. It seems just a bit awkward.

Oh, the joys of dark humor. :rofl:

[wellstone_democrat]

114. LOL that was unexpected!

I agree but it was a surprise to see the first reply in such unequivocal terms

[Flubadubya]

2. You need to report this to administration...

Sheez, I "think" it's still a free country where individual expression should be tolerated. No, seriously, you should not let this stand.

[livefrom]

105. He also has the right to say "dumb Democrats"

It is un-popular speech that needs protection the most. If free speech only applied to popular speech, or people saying nice things or saying things everyone agreed with, it wouldn't be necessary.

So the school needs to tolerate the "dumb Democrats" comment as much as it has to tolerate the Democratic logo pin, or vice-versa depending on which side they favor.

As Steve Martin said in My Blue Heaven, "I'm exactly the guy Thomas Jefferson put that in for."

btw, if it was a private school with no Federal funding (hard to find), they wouldn't be required to tolerate either expressions of speech, free speech only applies to restriction of speech by the government, not by private individuals or organizations.

Also btw, the assault with the fists could, of course be reported, but the comment addressed the individual expression aspect of the incident.

[Individualist]

108. So, does this hypothetical freeper

have the right to threaten someone by raising his fists?

[progressivebydesign]

147. The poster was just mentioning that the speech is protected.

Fists are something else entirely...

[progressivebydesign]

146. Absolutely true.. it protects pretty much all speech.

whether we want to hear it or not. Now if the idiot had actually punched, then we get into a completely different set of amendments.

Oh.. and welcome to DU.

[eleny]

3. They must be very angry these days

Take care and welcome to DU.

[BlueJac]

4. Hold Your Head High!

[texastoast]

5. Stand up against the Freep bullies

And that is all they are. And they are really mean, hateful, and very non-Jesus acting right now because their "fearless" chickenhawk leader is major under the gun.

Try to identify the guy and report the attempted assault. Run the little shit back under his rock.

[norml]

6. Keep a mini tape recorder in your pocket. When there's trouble turn it on.

Record any confrontation.

Play it back later for the police.

Problem solved.

Wear your pins proudly.

Don't let the Nazis win.

[politick]

8. Let's watch for this thread

to be posted on freerepublic, to make fun of the way we weak-minded, amoral and cowardly liberals run from confrontation...

[norml]

11. I thought of the possibility that this might be the sort of thing they

would write to make us look weak, especially with the "Oh My!" part, however I decided to answer it as though it were serious, and reserve my judgments on this poster for later.

[politick]

12. I know

I try to wait to hear what the person actually has to say, and, frankly, couldn't care less if a freeper troll "infiltrates" here. Regardless of whether this is posted by a freeper or not (No offense Gregory) they look for stuff like this and use it to engorge their sick belllies.

[norml]

21. It's a sign of how Nazi thuglike like they are that they would think this

makes them look good.

9. Freepers are cowards.

He won't hit you. Not without a mob behind him. Besides, how old is this guy, anyway, saying, "Dumb?!" Four years old? "Dumb Democrats." Wow, now there's a real insult. :eyes:

[formerrepuke]

20. Sounds like a know-it-all 18 or 19 year old...Ahhh, I remember when

I was that age- I knew everything... and anyone who saw things differently than I was an "asshole". Life will humble this creep, hopefully.

[txindy]

26. That sounds like more of a teenager's insult, though

"Dumb" just doesn't cut it! :rofl: I don't think he sounds all that worrying, myself. And, yeah, I hope someone who acts like that eventually discovers some humility, too. Maybe when the hormonal rush ebbs a bit. ;)

[Reciprocity]

172. It did humble Bush. He is still the same. Minus the booze and cocaine.

10. Report him to the Administration immediately

Assault is a crime and should be dealt with as such.

[FreedomAngel82]

13. Couldn't you get him in trouble?

He tried to hit you and would've succeeded if you weren't paying attention. *Sigh*

[NYCGirl]

15. Did he take a swing or did he just threaten to?

Makes a big difference.

[Botany]

16. laugh and walk away ......

..... if he touches you it is criminal assault. Do not talk to him
but @ the same time you are free to wear what ever you want.

[mitchtv]

62. if he touches you ,

fall on the ground screaming" My Back,neck" or whatever. Be carried off in an ambulance, then sue everyone in sight

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

17. Ask him why he's not in Iraq supporting HIS pResident. nt

[theboz]

18. Don't run away

I don't really know if it's the best way or not, but when growing up I was told that you should stand up to bullies. I'm not saying to assault him and get yourself in trouble, but you should have turned around, with an enraged look on your face, and got into his face and yelled, "WHAT DID YOU SAY, MOTHERFUCKER?!?!?!" A bit of spittle coming out of your mouth helps too.

Of course, standing up to bullies also requires that you are willing to defend yourself too. Perhaps it's time to take a juijitsu class? It would help you get into good shape, make friends, and not feel the need to run away from bullies.

[freeplessinseattle]

100. gee, you sound like a real peacemonger n/t

174. He sounds like a Deaf person to me.

I am "deaf," not "Deaf," because I still have enough hearing to follow some conversation, especially with my hearing aids in, and also because I don't belong to the Deaf culture. I was hearing impaired as a child, but not enough to inhibit my learning to read and write. But my condition is progressive, and though I don't know ASL, I wish I did. (Most deaf people who know ASL are congenitally deaf and learned it by way of immersion at a school for the Deaf.)

ASL has its own grammar and syntax, and its inflections are visual, not written. English is not the same language at all, though there is a signed version of English that is actually called Signed English. Trying to translate ASL into written English is, in a way, like trying to translate an animated drawing into English. It is far more difficult than trying to translate another foreign language into English (and, yes, ASL is a separate language).

And, Gregory1230, I'd like to invite you to visit my Deaf/HoH website, I'm Listening as Hard as I Can! at http://www.deafnotdumb.homestead.com/index.html

Because I didn't become this severely hearing impaired all at once, I read and write quite well. In fact, I teach college English and write hundreds of articles for the Net on many different topics--including deafness. But those who are congenitally Deaf often have a harder time learning to read and write, and certainly they are likely to have trouble translating from their first language (ASL) into written English.

The rest of you should back off a bit. I believe Gregory 1230 is a Deaf person and a Democrat, not a Freeper troll. I see nothing in his post that would make me suspect otherwise. Of course, I could be wrong, but then again, any one of you could be one of those Freeper trolls who go over there and brag about having racked up over 1000 posts without getting caught here on DU. In fact, I could be a Freeper troll. We have nothing to go on but one another's posts, and I don't see anything in the OP that suggests he is not being honest.

[Stand and Fight]

[bring_em_home_bush]

43. LOL n/t

[Gregory1230]

44. Bad grammer

Hey you all, I have bad grammer because I was deaf person but am using Cochlear Implant, but still problems with English grammer. Sorry for that bad grammer.

[txindy]

47. Okay, I've just got to ask

What does grammar have to do with being deaf? My aunt is deaf, she was born that way, yet she has perfect grammar. I suppose it's because her grammar came from reading and writing. It certainly had nothing to do with hearing.

[DancingBear]

66. Not legitimizing this OP quite yet, but

my brother-in-law has been deaf since birth, and even though he speaks well enough to be understood his grammar is similar to what I am reading here.

For example, he has problems knowing when to use 'them' vs. 'those', for example (i.e. "those girls" become "them girls" when writing about his daughters).

[txindy]

84. Interesting

In his writing? That's interesting. I would've thought that was a completely different area of the brain. :shrug: I wonder what makes our relatives so different, then? A different system of education, maybe? My aunt is in her 70s. I have no idea how her school handled her deafness, but I do know that she was expected to succeed in a 'regular' school in a 'regular' class. That must've been very hard.

[SmokingJacket]

97. I've had a couple of deaf students in my writing classes

and I agree. American Sign Language doesn't translate directly. If that's a person's first language, their written English can sound like a second language.

[melnjones]

120. exactly.

too bad people are ignorant of that fact.

[Demonaut]

48. huh, what has that got to do with the written word? is the implant in your

hand?

[Gregory1230]

54. Sorry about that

I have Cochlear Implant in my left ear so I can hear very well which is much better than hearing aid. It is helping me to learn how to speech and understand people very well.

Just curious because you act like you know everything about their history and ability to learn and why they were deaf...

I'm just assuming for the moment that the person is legit...

Were you totally deaf? That must have been amazing to hear things for the first time.

Just DON'T listen to Britney Spears' "music". You'll want your implant removed!

[norml]

51. How would your hearing affect your grammar and spelling?

Hmm?

[melnjones]

122. If you don't grow up hearing a language,

you don't learn its grammar either. Think about all the grammar someone learns even before they can read. Quite a bit. A deaf person would have none of that until he/she began learning to read. Sign language is a different language with totally different grammar than English. Also, how often do you spell depending on what you hear? The OP (I think) recently got his implant, so there is a lot of time to make up here in learning aurally.

[Modem Butterfly]

55. ROFLMAOPIMP!

My partner is hearing disabled. His written grammar is impeccable.

[Beetwasher]

[melnjones]

121. Is he deaf? Profoundly?

Makes a difference.

[SmokingJacket]

132. It depends on how they first learned to speak.

If Sign Language came first, and English later, their English grammar might be wonky for a long time. Sign language doesn't have the same grammar as English.

But some deaf people learn to lip read and read words from the beginning, and their English skills are usually just like a hearing person's.

96. Never back down from a bully

Particularly a stupid one ~

Bullies and dumb freepers are cowards and only stand up when they have a mob behind them.

They're on the run right now, and really desperate as they see their chickenhawk heroes totally exposed as the cowards they are. Don't ever forget to remind them that their hero was AWOL, too chicken to do what he expects others to do for him. They really, really hate to be reminded of that.

Wish one of them would threaten me, but so far, no such luck (except online of course, where they can talk tough) maybe because I'm usually accompanied by a big, fierce and definitely short-fused ex-military Liberal guy who leaves no doubt in the minds of little fweeps what might happen to them were they to even have bad thoughts about me! :rofl:

[Gregory1230]

102. Here you go

It is hard to explain, ok?

Here I go: Before this year, I grew up as deaf person, had lot of problems about English grammar because it was too hard for me to learn. I never learned anything about English grammar. I use hearing aid but did not help me very well. I was not able to understand people and how to speak people.

And now: I have Cochlear Implant (which in my left ear) that allow me to hear everything including birds, cars, etc (that I never hear things before). I am learning about how to speak act like an hearing person and understanding with people. I am intelligent person because I am smart about computers. In fact, I want to become computer programmer (after I can graduate for BA for computer science from Univ. of Central Florida, but I must earn AA first from Central Florida Community College).

So that's why I said I "was" deaf person. I am now almost hearing person but still need learn how to speech and English grammar. I hope you understand me very well.

[Mr_Spock]

107. I think some people don't appreciate your history

Good luck in your schooling.

BTW, there is a spell checker at the lower left -> grammar is spelled this way.

[kineneb]

143. good luck to you

I understand your problem with spoken/signed-to-written language.

My grandparents raised me, and my grandfather was quite deaf from permanent nerve damage. He contracted the measels while posted in England during WWI. All they could do was quarentine the ill. The diease damaged his hearing and he was forced to wear hearing aids for the rest of his life.

He missed so much because he had difficulty understanding people's speach. His hearing loss also isolated him because of the problem with background noise and the hearing aid quality of the day. He, of course, had normal hearing before the illness, but I noticed the difference in the way he related to language.

I am so glad you can hear birds now. Welcome to the world of sound.

[EOTE]

144. Sorry for the hostile posts...

And welcome to DU. I hope you stick around for a while, and good luck at school :).

[tblue37]

184. Good for you!

If my hearing ever gets beyond the point where my hearing aids won't help me, I will get a CI, too.

Did you grow up in Deaf culture? Did you attend a baording school? Gallaudet?

There is a very good Deaf school not far from where I live. (It's in Olathe, KS.) Because of the Deaf school, there is also a theater in Olathe that shows closed captioned movies. Otherwise, when I want to see a movie, I wait for it to come out on DVD so I can view it with captions.

then sue the hell out of him. Money is the only thing these pigs understand, so take as much away from him as you possible can.

[smartvoter]

118. I know the bully stories seem cliche, but they are absolutely true.

I grew up poor and had some older kids that would follow our school bus and try to beat us up for fun. One day, one caught up with me and I was surrounded by him and his friends. He hit me and I was shocked that it was no big deal -- my drunken stepdad hit much harder. I nailed him back. The entire group got in and pulled us apart, but they knew from then on that at the very least, they would be hurting just like I was if we got into it.

From that moment on in my life, no one but no one f***ed with me, ever. Even in a very bad neighborhood. My rule was that you might take me down, but I'll hurt you on the way out. And that rule was enough to not have trouble... The best part was I never had to act like a tough guy or be a jerk. I got to be me. I just took no s**t.

Don't back down. Worst case is you report him and he is expelled and brought up on charges.

Best case is you call his bluff and he leaves you alone for good.

I know it's easier said than done, but once you've done it, you will be seriously liberated in a way that you have to experience to appreciate.

[Mr_Spock]

123. Good example...

I grew up in a poor neighborhood as well where you had to defend yourself or be a punching bag. As a kid I could usually work it out, but in middle school I had the bullies waiting for me after school (walking from an unsafe area to your home turf can suck). At first I ran, but they caught me eventually. Then I fought them off - that was more satisfying :D After that I decided that bullies are mostly pussies trying to make up for a poor ego. Eventually I started to challenge people immediately if they were talking trash - amazing how fast they back down if you don't fall for their bullshit. I'm getting old for fighting now - I'd probably just find an alternative method of action :D

[smartvoter]

124. Same here, but it is true. If they know that they will at least be hurt,

they back away. Simple equation, really...

[walldude]

125. Um.. we aren't talking about kids or family members

we are talking about a total stranger walking up and attempting to assault someone over a pin on their shirt. This reeks of bullshit. This person claims to be in college but can't compose a complete sentence. He claims to be deaf, not stupid. The story, the "oh my" the bad grammar, the amazing coincidence that the poster happens to be deaf, all smell of troll to me. I'll be the first one to apologize if I'm wrong, but I took a wall of shit over not believing Mr Stinky Bushes a few days ago and I turned out to be right.

[smartvoter]

128. It looks like you are right. I didn't read all those other posts. It is

very suspicious.

On edit: I noticed the first post was bad but thought it was rushed. Didn't see the pattern.

[Gregory1230]

131. Are you discriminating?

Are you discriminating me because of I am deaf have bad grammar? If that so, I will leaving from DU. I will be sad about some of supporting democrats who are posting are discriminating me.

I am disgusted at the behaviour of many people here today too - but don't leave - most of us do not judge people based on their first started thread. I hope you will stay for a while...

Oh, and welcome to DU

then sue his ass.

You just encouraged him to do this again.

[MsTryska]

127. do they not teach proper grammar in

Central Florida?


i realize it's heavily republican and the schools are sh*t there, but damn.


okay - i'll take back what i'm saying about grammar, on the chance that you are in fact disabled as you say you are.



but still - what type of freeper tries to beat up on someone that's disabled?


that's even more pathetic.


i think you need to take some sort "fuck with me, and i will fuck you the fuck up" martial art. If for no other reason but to be better prepared to stand your own ground when people try to bully you.

[librechik]

133. I think English is not his first language

Dems like immigrants! ;-)

[MsTryska]

140. well actually he says he's deaf.....

so maybe that's the explanation.

i'm still not quite convinced it's not someone taking the piss tho.

[mitchum]

136. That's fine, I shot two freepers this morning...

so "we" are still up on them

[smartvoter]

138. ROTFLMAO!!!! nt

142. Consider filing charges.

Assault

1: the crime or tort of threatening or attempting to inflict immediate offensive physical contact or bodily harm that one has the present ability to inflict and that puts the victim in fear of such harm or contact

[hiley]

154. Are You?

[Zen]

158. Good answer

I got A's in English, Grammar and writing and I still haven't mastered this friggin' language :D

[hiley]

161. For the life of me

I just don't get why people have to attack!
Blows, huh?
If someone were actually a freeper they would be caught without all the personal attacks.
hiley

[ArkDem]

175. I don't need to be.

[hiley]

188. perhaps etiquette

class would be more appropriate then.

There is no need to be rude or attack posters. If you think someone is a troll or whatever alert on them instead.

152. There, I just made sure you are on Greatest page

I expect people to appologize for the personal attacks.

[hiley]

156. I do too

Apologize to Gregory please..

[walldude]

160. I will.. as soon as I am proven wrong.

No one ever apologized to me when I was called an asshole for not believing Mr Stinky Bush's story.. I noticed he's a tombstone now.

[hiley]

163. Okay, I am sorry someone called you an asshole

Does that help you?
Cause name calling is wrong.

[walldude]

166. Well it did make me laugh

And that in itself never hurts. :toast:

[Mr_Spock]

165. Guilty until proven innocent?

Yikes!!!

If I suspect a Freeper, I will do some research and alert on them. I rarely if ever post something inflammatory unless it's a first post and it says "liberals are mindless trolls" in thier signature (this happened last week BTW). Please allow people enough rope to hang themselves with, it's the DU way.

Something you know that we dont?

[Mr_Spock]

I am interested in the truth...

[hiley]

180. I am sorry but that is disappointing

The attacks are a waste of valueable time and it is wrong in the first place.
Administration is capable of figuring out who is a troll or not.
The attacks and abuse on posters are ugly.
Help Frances Newton, her execution is in less than 35 minutes from now.

If you have already written or called do it again, it can not hurt.

[Ariana Celeste]

170. I hope yall are proud of yourselves.

Democrats and liberals are not immune from bad spelling and grammar. There was absolutely no reason to be so hurtful towards him. A superiority complex accomplishes nothing other than a moment of self gratification.

[Mr_Spock]

173. I don't get it either?

Since when are we not patient enough to see how someone pans out? A newby likely would not know the implications of such a post if they haven't started many/any in the past...

[Ariana Celeste]

177. This is looking like

Bizarro DU or something. Yeesh.

Someone up the thread said if someone is a freeper they will be found out shortly enough without the personal insults. I agree wholeheartedly.

181. I missed that

What happened to Stinky Bushes? Did he get banned, did he admit to being a freeper, or what? Give me the skinny!

[walldude]

187. Yup Stinky Bushes was a freep troll

busted after he made a second post claiming what a great Dem he was.

[Mr_Spock]

192. Pretty stinky to forget that you said you used to be a puke

Not surprising though - probably thought it was cute.

[hiley]

182. Why is being right so important?

I will apologize again to you because someone called you an asshole.
People have been attacked for less than a pin before...

[Ariana Celeste]

183. So you were right once.

Good for you. Don't believe his story? That's no reason for insults. Just because you haven't seen something of the sort happen, doesn't mean that it couldn't happen. Perhaps there was more to it then his Dem pin, maybe it's because of his disablity, too. Maybe, just maybe, there are assholes out there that hit people for no reason. This isn't some happy world where people don't feel the need to hurt others. Regardless, I don't care whether you, personally, believe the story. What bothers me are the amount of insults directed at his grammar. I see plenty of insults directed at his grammar and spelling, so yeah, I think it's about the grammar too. Whether it's about that to you doesn't matter. You weren't the only one responding in this thread. And I certainly wasn't directing my response at you personally.

[Mr_Spock]

186. I've popped many, many of Freepers here in the past year+

I don't go around flashing my badge of honor.

[walldude]

195. Ok I'm flashing a badge of honor.. sure..

whatever. I don't care if I'm proven right or wrong, my instincts have been right before and I'm going to trust them again. I gave my opinion and people decided to take me to task for it. Won't be the first time. Won't be the last. I will tell you that if you read all my posts from the beginning I was never rude and I never called anyone jerk or asshole, I just said I didn't trust the story and gave my reasons. The best arguement anyone can come up with is Freepers do sometimes punch out total strangers. Doesn't convince me. I've had enough of defending my position, if you don't like it the ignore button is a click away.

[RandomKoolzip]

178. This thread is hilarious.

Low post count newbies with implausible stories seem to bring out the worst in DU. Why is that? :evilgrin:

[qanda]

189. People need to be right

And they don't care who they hurt in the process.

On Edit:

I have learned my lesson from the thread I started about Andy. I needed to be right and I ended up hurting someone dearly. I hope people will learn to let things pan out and stop before they post hateful or hurtful things.

[stepnw1f]

190. I Actually Smashed a Freeper in the face

a couple months back.

[HEAVYHEART]

191. Buwahahaha!

:rofl:

[walldude]

197. LMAO... I remember that thread.. it was hilarious.

You have a talent for bullshit my friend :toast:

[smurfygirl]

193. "I'm not happy here"

then why do you countinue to agonize?

leave. support a better school.

And next time, hit the mother fucker. He's pulling the bully repuke mentality. Hand it back to him on a silver platter.

[Gregory1230]

198. I am not sure when I can move to.

I don't know when I can move to. I prefer move out to a blue state after I will gradute from Univ of Central Florida (possible 2009?) for sure.

194. Let the filth throw the first punch.

Then strike back with the punch heard around the world.

Or lie on the ground, crying and bleeding like I would. :-)
