To think throwing milkshakes over people is disgusting?

[GrumpyCatLives]

So apparently it’s okay to chuck milkshakes over people we disagree with?

Now, I do not like Tommy Robinson, Carl Sargon, or Farage. However, I think that chucking cold food at them, or threatening to, is pathetic. If you disagree with them, then debate them. Take down their argument intelligently. Chucking a cheap milkshake makes you look like a toddler.

People only perceive thinking of people as sub-human as the first step into evil when its other people doing it.

When they think of people as sub-human themselves they are justified!

Its very sad.

"Who exactly is stopping Farage et al saying what he wants when he wants?

That would be......people throwing milkshakes."

He gets PLENTY of airtime in all the various forms of media to say what he likes, and he does. For a nobody, he is a million miles away from being silenced. That can be shown very simply by the fact that we all know who he is and what he stands for and recognise him instantly, which isn't the case for the leader of the Lib Dems for example.

I don't think physical assault always trumps other forms of aggression.

I rather have a single milkshake thrown at me than a year of humiliating and degrading verbal assault.

One you can most likely wipe off and forget about. The other will most likely scar you for life.

I'm not in favour of either for the record. Not one bit. But physical isn't always worse than verbal!

Being hit with a rape joke is not as serious as being hit with a milkshake.

Fucking hell.

Can't believe someone on MN actually typed that.

This country seems to have lost its complete moral compass: the language and behaviour of people is appalling.
And if this is what Remainers want to align themselves with, it says a lot about them

people here aligned with someone who makes rape jokes-, a murderer, a facists, racists, terrorist sympathiser, outright liars, con-artists, dimwits and cheats and still the loss of the countries 'moral compass' is all remainers fault for laughing at this milkshake guy.

so self-righteous, it makes me laugh.

“Being hit with a rape joke is not as serious as being hit with a milkshake.”

Fuck me- did someone actually say that?

@Quintella I didnt even know how to reply to that. I'm still picking my jaw up off the floor.
If that's what we're up against- females thinking a rape joke/threat isnt as serious as someone flinging a milkshake, what hope is there for rights for female.
Sort of person I imagine agreeing with the Alabama fucktards.

Jess Phillips threatened to stab Corbyn in the chest. Why have we ended with such a nasty and aggressive bunch of politicians.

Quintella, I've been trying to come up with an appropriate response to that but I don't think there is one.

“Jess Phillips threatened to stab Corbyn in the chest.“
No she didn’t. When somebody accused her, using a well known idiom for treachery (cf Shakespeare et al) that she was “stabbing him in the back” she replied, using the same idiom, that she would “stab him in the front”.

Meaning, just in case there was any doubt, that she would say what she wanted to say to him to his face, rather than join a whispering campaign.

This is part of why we're where we are. Newsflash some women do not think a rape joke is as bad as an actual act of violence. They are tougher than that. If a guy told me I deserved to be raped I wouldn't fall apart. Why would I? I might get angry if I coukd be bothered. I probably would excercise my right to tell him about his need to compensate for a tiny dick. But lose sleep over it? Nope. I'm not that delicate.

Me having a vagina doesn't mean I must think exactly the same as another human with a vagina.

Beat me to it @BertrandRussell
And that is not justification for someone suggesting a milkshake down the sodding arm is more serious than a fucking rape joke @LoveTheLakes40

of course people react differently- but several posters seem to think remainers alone are responsible for the countries 'loss of a moral compass' because of milkshake man and are desperate to overlook the absolute heinous things brexiteers have been doing and saying.

@CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook our politicians are meant to exercise a certain level of moral code. What he said, and what the likes of Farage and Robinson spout, is morally reprehensible and they should be held to account.
I actually love that people have had a gutful and are making a minor, non violent statement. Why should we let these Muppets destroy our code of conduct?

I can't abide Farage and his ilk, but this act and all those condoning it does make me uncomfortable. It is an assault and not justifiable or effective. It makes the perpetrators look just as thuggish as the targets. We are living in strange times. The fact that so many on here are cheering this behaviour on is adding to my disquiet. We seem to be losing our moral compass. Milkshake now, acid next? Where do you draw the line?

Plinney - I read that Independent article and agree it was infantile and twattish.

Generally I don't think lobbing missiles of any description at anyone is accaptable. It is assault, at the end of the day.

However, it's very difficult when NF ( what appropriate initials eh?) is peddling lies about foreigners and using inflammatory semantics routinely. It's equally difficult not to be glad that people who make jokes about women being raped get targeted. These people are scum. In my opinion NF, SY-L and Carl whatisname are the architects of their own assaults and they deserve it. I'd say it's better than being targeted by a molotov, and a whole heap better than being shot and stabbed like Jo Cox was. .

I probably would excercise my right to tell him about his need to compensate for a tiny dick. But lose sleep over it? Nope. I'm not that delicate.

Well hopefully you never have to find out how you'd react to a rape threat. I have been threatened and it was terrifying. If it pleases you to dismiss me as being 'delicate' then go ahead.

Of course those saying reprehensible things should be held to account. Especially if they are in positions of authority. Not saying they shouldn't

Bravo @pepperpot99
As someone upthread said shame it wasn't an anvil

Hopefully, the EU investigation into his undeclared backhanders from Aaron Banks will make milkshakes unnecessary by handing him a large serving of porridge.

Throwing Milk Shake over the likes of Farage and Robinson is simply a waste of Milk Shake

Exactly RattyTat. Whether you like someone's opinion or not we should be glad to be in a country where you can mostly say what you like and not disappear overnight and never be seen again. Students 'refusing' to allow speakers into university debates who have a viewpoint that they have decided is different to their own - it's all quite worrying. Chucking food about is childish and pointless - however satisfying - and the lumpen idiot who did it should have made better use of his money and given the £5+ cost of that milkshake to a good cause.
