wheres that video of some Trump fan punching a black dude at a GOP rally? does that count?
Here is another very recent one, and I leave it that since there too many examples to list.

Here is another link in case the first story is behind a paywall.

Now delete your shit thread.
lol. You are so butthurt by this thread. I don't get it.
You're a hypocrite who makes shit threads. You deserved to be clowned for it.
I hope you're trolling and not like this IRL but thinking about it you're probably not.
Maybe see a doctor about having your enlarged amygdala looked at.
You sound like a child so I guess you fit in with the lefties I made the thread about. I was ready to just have a reasonable discussion with anyone on this but big surprise I get a bunch of trolls and kids throwing a fit and being rude just like in the video.
Didn't read lol.
Its not terrible but listening to Rave Dubin confront college students is a bit of a waste of time.Watching a political speech is such a terrible thing haha.
You say that but you start off with a pretty polarizing and partisan premise so its not surprising the thread didn't really pan out into a reasonable discussion. Claiming the left has a monopoly on bad behavior and then using a no true Scotsman argument to back that up to immediately dissociating from the right their worst actors isn't not the way to jump start a reasonable discussion.You sound like a child so I guess you fit in with the lefties I made the thread about.

Again, you're deploying the no true Scotsman fallacy here. The reality is that the alt-right is of the right as evidenced by its name. Bannon, a guy who openly pandered to them, even made it to the White House if only temporarily. If you get to disavow them as not of the right then we get to say that Marxist college students aren't really of the left. Its pretty crazy that you can rattle off obvious examples of bad behavior from the right and then say it doesn't count but hey, some random college students are perfectly fair game to hold against the Left in general.I admit it may read pretty polarizing but no one really gave me a reasonable chance to clarify my position. A lot very obviously didn't even really read the OP or accused me of lying about not voting for Trump. I don't think everyone in the Left is unreasonable. My question here is why do I find so many video's of the Left acting terribly and I can't find similar behavior on the right. Now of course I am not claiming there that the right never acts badly, that would be ridiculous. I am talking about similar behavior. Where are large amounts of conservatives trying to shut down leftist speeches? Acting super rudely to them? Trying to block people from entering? Most of what I see is the alt right (racist idiots) and the occasional solo jerk who hits someone at a Trump rally or a bigot running a store and being mean to someone. To me there is a clear difference there.
And people have said that so I don't know what else you're looking for. Well actually I do have suspicion, namely that you made this thread primarily for other right wingers to nod in agreement. You got that too so either way mission accomplished.If I identified as a Leftist I would simply say that these leftists are acting horribly and I wish they would stop. They give us a bad name.

Even such protestors are still a minority of the leftists on campus, we're talking about a narrow slice. These kinds of events have a sort of selection bias; the most politically charged students are the ones who are going to show up. Your average student leftists isn't going to care.I responded to this below. They are on the right but they are inconsequential to what I am talking about. As is Antifa because their behavior is not in the video's that I am talking about either.
They aren't random college students. They are great examples of college students found in a ton of video's doing exactly the same thing.
They're annoyed because as I said you started off with a polarizing, and tbh kind of obtuse, premise. So yeah, people don't respond very well to that kind of thing. Honestly expecting people to watch an hour long video was a big part of that.I don't recall many posts saying that. People are pretty upset that I brought up this bad behavior. I am just fascinated why there are so many people like this on the Left. This specific behavior. Again I'm not trying to make the right look like angels. People keep making that assumption. The right has a ton of issues and different kinds of bad behavior.
A few of the school shooters we're Trumpets. Or that terrorist who shot up the church.
So yeah.. question answered. You're welcome TS.

Its the similar with Trump rallies where people got assaulted and the person doing it got cheered, even by the POTUS.

Or that guy who plowed the protester down with his car...
But TS has found some left leaning snowflake who apparently represents the entire left, and you can only give examples of a very specific subset of the right. The agenda is pretty clear.
Again your OP does not lend itself to reasonable dialogue, it had a slanted and partisan premise. Whether you see it that way or not doesn't matter, that's how it was interpreted by more than a few of the people responding here. Not to mention you initially asked people to watch an hour long video of Dave Rubin responding to college students, not really a strong start. Better luck next time.That's a fair point. It's still far too many people. They just kill all of these speeches with their stupidity.
I prefer people to dialogue with me if they need clarification or want to reasonably debate. Unfortunately I don't get that on Sherdog. Some of the people have acted exactly like those people in the video.
I could have posted a long essay about this or something but I thought it would be fine as a small thread just on some thoughts I had. I think people would have been mad no matter how I presented it.
