#2Rioters are burning down Charlotte, Hillary hasn't said a thing (except to doubt the police), but Donald Trump is the problem?
> "I'm not saying all the people, but we've got the instigators that are coming in from the outside. They were coming in on buses from out of state. If you go back and look at some of the arrests that were made last night. I can about say probably 70% of those had out-of-state IDs. They're not coming from Charlotte."

Someone should find out who paid for those buses.

#4It boggles my mind that people think this is okay, but when a business that doesn't agree with gay marriage and won't bake a cake, it needs government intervention (as long as they don't refuse a gay person from purchasing any cake, it should be well within their rights).
These developers are using bullying tactics to try to punish the Oculus developer for merely having an opinion. It only makes me want to vote for Trump even more.
It's pretty hypocritical to attempt to stop what you think is bigotry and exclusion by doing the exact same thing to the people you don't like.
With this line of thinking, our world will never change. We are better than this.

I'm sorry, but I disagree. If someone refuses to bake a cake for gay people, I agree that is well within their rights. It is also my right to not buy a cake from them.
This is not a bullying tactic, this is people exercising the same freedoms that Palmer is by having and supporting his views.

#6Why limit who you do business with based on who agrees with you politically? That will probably hurt you more than it does anyone else.

Criminals I tell you. /s
For all those that don't know about the geography of Charlotte, NC the city exists along the North Carolina/South Carolina border.

Good info, thanks.
Now what about the people starting fires and assaulting people?

This is just the start. With the way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised to see liberal companies and activists with all the correct political credentials organising boycotts of people who oppose bombing civilians abroad, just like the right were doing a decade or two ago. We've already seen accusations of misogyny and supporting violence against women levelled at them by people like J. K. Rowling (because apparently suggesting voters will consider politicians responsible for their votes is a call for violence now). Same has been happening to minimum wage activism, disability rights, and all the other traditional left-wing causes. The attacks on the right are getting the most attention, probably because they're in a better position to fight back, but I think it's the left that's actually being wiped out here.

A little fish can't bully a big fish. The government is the biggest fish so we have to be careful about it.
A game developer can bully its employees, but not it's distributor (oculus). Oculus can bully its developers, but not its competitors. The government can bully all of them.
These are all generalizations of course--the devil in the details. But the point is it's not just behavior that matters, it also matters who has power over who.
