Under the law, there is a doctrine of contributory negligence, which asks what a reasonable and prudent victim would have done or not done to avoid or mitigate a situation. In this case, it appears obvious that the cardboard cutout of Trump was a major contributor to the negative reactions of fairgoers. That certainly does not excuse the hostility and totally unacceptable behavior directed at the Republican volunteers in the booth, but really, is this man the person you think represents our island Republicans or want your children to emulate? I am personally appalled at the way you were treated, regardless of your politics. I would have hoped that Islanders were above that kind of behavior. It would probably help to remember that what politicians say and do does not always accurately represent the citizens who claim their political label.
