Nobody is being jailed. They are welcome to quit. They just don't want to.

Again, read the thread. One pp thinks that essential staff should be jailed if they quit.

I think Jeff deleted some of the more egregious comments about forced labor

Indeed, he did, those that people noticed.

Sure, but it doesn’t change the fact that some of the more deranged amongst us have radical views on the topic.

The topic itself is radical. It's terrorism.

Please answer how you can justify the war on drugs and the creation of the DEA? How is that not much more of a “power grab” by the government? Why is THAT not your rallying cry but vaccines are?

Prior poster here. I am all for legalization of drugs, especially for marijuana, which I believe causes less harm than alcohol. I think it would lead to more secure borders and ultimately it's up to the individual what she wants to put in her body.

Until that individual severely injures someone else. Like my mother.
Nothing leads to more secure borders if officials aren’t willing to secure those borders.

That is, the right to protest doesn’t supersede every other right for every other person. Other people in the city want to do other things. The point is, protests always must take place within the bounds of recognizing other rights and other people’s rights. There is no right to shutdown the world because you want to. That is not freedom.

BLM and Antifa are calling

And when they protested, and Trump came out for his dumb photo op and upside-down Bible, the National Guard was called in, protesters were beaten, had tear gas grenades, rubber bullets, pepperballs and flashbangs used on them, and dozens and dozens of them were arrested by MPD, Secret Service and several other law enforcement agencies.

As such when the trucker convoy comes to DC it would be perfectly fair to call out the National Guard and every law enforcement agency, shoot rubber bullets and flashbangs at them, beat the truckers, gas them with OC grenades, shoot them with pepperballs, and arrest them by the dozens. Fair play.

Have at it.

In a society, freedom is not absolute - when does your freedom impinge on mine? Further, various freedoms oftentimes conflict. So, while it’s fine to protest, these truckers don’t have the right to indefinitely shutdown a city or a primary bridge because doing so deprives others of their rights, economic and otherwise.

I just have to ask.....

Did you take the same stance during the protests and riots of the summer of 2020? Or, were those "righteous" and "good" and therefore, the closing of a highway or businesses are just the cost of supporting the cause?

DP.

1) they were protesting a murder by police
2) they were protesting. The rioting and fires etc were generally set by right wingers
3) they lasted a day here and a day there. It wasn't a sustained seige, except in portland and seattle where it turns out, yep, right wingers again.

1) maybe some of them were at least initially
2) cray cray conspiracy stuff
3) same

Looter Vuitton agrees with you. This was no innocent summer of love, and the looting continues

The people tweeting orders of things to loot for them at friendship heights stores were also "protesting"

2. Not cray cray conspiracy stuff, step away from garbage like Breitbart and read some actual news for a change. There were numerous arrests of Boogaloos who were organized and involved in many of the arsons and attacks on police precincts. There was also violence when right wing groups like Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer showed up to "counterprotest" using knives, fists, etc. Overwhelming majority (94%) of the BLM protests had ZERO reported violence or crime. Wasn't all outside right wing agitators though, because anarchist black bloc were also doing their own chaos which had nothing to do with BLM

3. The looting was mostly gangs and criminals, also had nothing to do with BLM other than opportunistic criming

e

I think, as time goes on (like with the CDC), we will see what the truth is.

These truckers are dangerous people!

But what makes them especially dangerous is their trucks. Hundreds of thousands of pounds of destructive force, capable of high speed attacks.

These solid metal trucks alone can take down a building!

It’s time we recognize this danger and call them what they are: assault trucks.

Exactly. Don't forget what Timothy McVeigh used in the OKC bombing that killed 168 people.

The topic can nothing to do with pp thinking that nurses, doctors, truckers, etc. should not be allowed to quit and should be jailed if they stop working their essential jobs. It was an unhinged person.

Yes it does. Radical acts of terrorism get correspondingly radical responses. It used to be law in Canada as recently as 2015 that nurses were not allowed to quit their jobs. In the U.S., a military member who goes AWOL before their service is up will get thrown in the brig.

Yes, it was small. Think of how much more destruction these big rigs can cause.

Ah yes, we must nationalize the trucking industry.
