Fake news. Video from the event shows that he rushed her and punched her without provocation.

JLawson: "Who are you going to believe - me, or your lying eyes?"

The video clearly shows that the man rushed the girl and punched her without provocation.

B Hammer: There is someone down on the ground, being beaten and kicked, she is clearly going in for a kick

There's no indication that she kicked or tried to kick anyone. It looks like she was cornered in the melee and looking for a way out. What is clear from the video is that the man charged at her.

B Hammer: There's a picture of her with a bottle; small end in her hand.

She was not holding a bottle when she was hit.

Even if true, it doesn't justify the assault. She was not throwing bottles or explosives when the man rushed at her and punched her. That would be retribution, not self-defense.

Hank_M: You stated that "She was not holding a bottle when she was hit."

She was not holding a bottle when she was hit.

Dangerous Dean: Boys punching girls

Under the law, sex or gender do not matter. The man rushed the woman and punched her without provocation.

Jim: You obviously chose not to see the other videos showing Moldilocks and her friends throwing bottles and explosives.

Even if true, it doesn't justify the assault. She was not throwing bottles or explosives when the man rushed at her and punched her. That would be retribution, not self-defense.

College Republicans have an equal right with any other group to invite people to speak on campus, even if they spew hateful rhetoric. Ann Coulter has every right to spew hateful rhetoric.

That U.S. foreign allies in their surveillance of Russian agents found a pattern of contact with people associated with the Trump campaign is hardly evidence that Brennan "collude with foreign powers to tip the election", especially considering most of this information only came to light after the election.

If there was a suspicious pattern of contacts between Trump associates and Russian agents, then — duh — it's an issue for the intelligence communities.

Dale: I mean always being on the right side of history, and every argument?

We're hardly always right, and we are more than willing to reconsider our positions.

For instance, when asked review the 3 seconds preceding the punch at the Berkeley rally. The video did not show what it was purported to show, that she was attempting to kick someone already on the ground, or that she had a bottle in her hand.

As for the underlying claim, are you saying allied intelligence agencies should ignore a foreign adversary attempting to infiltrate a major political party in the U.S. or other ally, or to undermine the electoral process?

Another guy named Dan: You mean like when the Obama administration funneled money to a group in Israel actively campaigning against Netanyahu's party?

No. It should not be ignored, nor was the incident ignored. While the money was originally spent for legal purposes, the resulting infrastructure was repurposed. New controls were put in place to prevent a recurrence.
