Title

I don't know the guy, and had no idea he was a Trumper. If you had asked me yesterday to guess if Adam Sandler was a douchebag, I probably would have bet he was. I've listened to his comedy albums, seen most of his movies, and watched Leo, so I'm not at all surprised to learn that he's a piece of shit.

But harassing a guy while he's out eating with his kids is not a political statement. It's not a deterrent to being a piece of shit, it's not an argument in favor of progressive policies, it's just shitty behavior. Like I tell my kids, there's a difference between respect and decency. If someone is a bad person, you don't have to respect them. But being a decent person is about you, not them. The way you treat people is a decision you make about who you are. Adam Sandler gets to choose who he wants to be and the effect he has on the world. If you want to fight it, I got your back because the world needs less of him.

But this ain't that. This is not productive. It's invasive and cruel, and it's exponentially worse because there are kids involved. The person who took this photo is also a douchebag.
