It's not ok to slap someone's hat off. But it's kind of hard to take a moral high ground on who has the least disrespectful supporters when there's been several dozen violent crimes adjudicated in the last couple years where the defendants cited Trump as their motivation. I mean, hat slapping is bad, but on a slider scale, I'd say stabbing an interracial couple is worse.
Those are sick individuals or a few sick individuals, so how does that compare to mobs of people doing things like knocking hats off people, harassing people, beating people, looting and rioting?
