Question: Comment: Russell did three tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. He was taught that the solution to disagreement is through violence, and that Asians and persons of Islamic beliefs are bad or evil, and are in some twisted way a threat to our country. Since leaving the military he suffered a serious head/brain injury, and is under the care of the Veterans Administration. These facts do not excuse his racist outrage, but somewhat explain how he came to be the tormented individual that he is.

Answer: Non-threat


Question: Comment: No. I'm sorry.  We are allowed to call out the Ford family legacy as harmful and embarrassing AND still also be appalled by bureaucratic waste, left wingers and right alike.  That's yet another reason why I loathe the number Rob and his strategists pulled over on us, the ridiculous us vs them, suburban vs urban, elites vs working guy baloney.  Why do people eat that up?  (God bless -- and help -- America!!)

Answer: Non-threat


Question: Comment: Sounds real exciting. I just can't wait to see two grown men viciously punching the crap out of each other. You see, the biggest problem we have nowadays is that there is simply not enough fighting in the world. Not enough violence. Hey, maybe we'll get lucky and see one of the fighters get badly injured. Maybe even knocked unconscious. And if we REALLY  get lucky, maybe we will get to see one of the fighters actually bleed. Yes I'm being sarcastic but in a sad way. I wouldn't befriend a person who enjoyed watching this "entertainment" (garbage).

Answer:
Threat
