Hmmm.. let's see...differences.... hmmmm..... for one thing, they would not have been able to obtain permits. Yeah that. You know, the whole monarchical police state thing. Also, they made a point of not stealing or looting the tea, so that it was in fact what it was meant to be: a symbolic protest. But carry on with your annoying, historically illiterate revisionism. |
| I'm fantasizing about Gov. Hogan just jumping in right now. |
+100 If you want change, you need to work within the system to effect it. In this situation, obtaining the proper protest permit is the way to go. It shows that you are serious, and willing to follow laws, as well as change them |
| What laws do we enforce. If I punch a protestor that jumps on the hood of my car is that wrong? That would be assault, but why would we enforce that? How about I start a protest bonfire on your front stoop. |
Spoken like someone who has no idea what preceded any change at all in this or any country. PP, did you pass 10th grade civics? |
No offense PP, but you don't sound like you have had any civics. If you had, you would know that we live in a functioning democracy and permits are easy to arrange. |
I am stepping on the gas if a protestor jumps on my hood like the Georgetown video. If you are in you car, the only defense you have is your 4000 lb automobile. I'll hope that it is video taped and that with my dashcam will prove that I was under duress. I'll take my chances with the DA. |
Enjoy prison. By the way, this website logs your IP address which can be linked to you. So if you did anything like that you could be upgrading yourself to pre-meditated! Good job! Not that I actually believe your internet tough guy words. You sounds... unconvincing. |

Jumping on my car is a threat to my safety.
Stay off people's cars and you lessen your chances of going under them. |
So you sound like the kind of person who enjoys bullying others. You think you should be able to assault people and they should be prohibited from defending themselves against you. That’s basically what you’re advocating here - being able to force someone to come to a stop and remain there while you and you’re fellow goonsquad beats on their vehicle with sticks and poles, and tries to break their windows so they can open the doors and drag people out of their cars. That’s what you want to be shoe to do, unfettered. And when you hear someone say they’ll drive over/through you to get away, your reaction is to call it a “premeditated attack”. You’re the problem. And I really, really hope you find yourself under a vehicle one day, regretting your choices as you feel your ribs being crushed and driven into your organs by the tire of the car you were assaulting the owner of. |
They weren't breaking into her car. You sound like kind of person who sees a Black person going about their business, screams "they're coming right for me!", and starts shooting to "protect yourself". You should not be allowed to have a gun, car, or probably even a bicycle. You need therapy and then some. |
Nobody should be allowed to have a gun! We see what happens when right wingers go on their shooting sprees, we saw what happened in Charlottesville, we saw what happened in New York City. We see what is going on in Portland, and in Chicago No more guns! I am sick of seeing innocents getting their lives cut short by untrained fools with military grade weapons. There is no reason for anyone outside of the government to have assault clips with hundreds of bullets. The sales need to stop, and confiscation needs to begin! I look forward to this becoming reality courtesy of the upcoming Biden administration |
You’re out of your mind |
| Well this thread has run its course. |
A desire for peace and a reduction in violence makes me “out of my mind”? OK, Karen
