They aren’t protesting. Protestors don’t obstruct or assault law enforcement. |
Yeah, I got a chuckle out of that comment, too. |
If that is true, then anyone with the IQ of a dandelion would be moving heaven and earth to make sure they don't get their Kent State. MAGA, however, is doing everything they can do to make sure Democrats DO get their Kent State. |
You are getting into civil disobedience in this post, which is still not a capital offense. It also didn’t happen here. We will get it all sorted out in court, don’t you worry. |
Ok, grandma, let’s get you back to Fox News. |
Of course obstruction is part of protesting to some degree. It always has been. Pick up a history book, will you? And don't even go there with "assaulting law enforcement" when MAGA LITERALLY beat Cap Hill police officers (as well as broke government property and attempted to disrupt election results) on Jan. 6. Seriously. Go F yourself. |
Yes, protestors sometimes do obstruct law enforcement or traffic, deliberately, as a form of nonviolent direct action. That’s not new, and it’s not accidental. Participants often fully expect citations or arrest; that’s part of passive resistance, not “assault.” Are you American? You may not be aware of our long history of using passive resistance where actions were illegal but morally justified. Didn't you learn about "Bloody Sunday"? Marchers knowingly defied orders, blocked a bridge, and were met with state violence. At the time, officials said they were “not protesting properly” either. The First Amendment protects speech and assembly; it does not guarantee protests will be convenient or free of consequences. Many of the rights we now take for granted came from people willing to engage in “good trouble,” knowing the law would punish them before history vindicated them. |
Understand, ICE no legal standing for traffic enforcement. The team in question was not on a mission, but rather were heading to their HQ for a break. There was no reason or justification for them to stop their vehicles, much less approach any cars, particularly those of native born US citizens. So you can stop with the false narrative that you are trying to spin. The American public understands what happened here, and it is only the MAGA zealots who are trying to contort what they can see with their own eyes through several angles of the same event. And oh, the irony that MAGA wants to send troops in to help the Iranian public shut down their religious based evil dictatorship government without looking in the mirror. |
Hope Mother Nature is listening and dumps 3 feet of snow in Minneapolis. |
I think you may not be American, or if you are, you do not love our country. You haven't learned our history and you don't share our reverence for the Constitution. You may pledge allegience to the flag, but you are ignorant as to what it represents. |
+1 the rest of the world knows exactly what happened here and is reporting that an American federal agent shot an unarmed American mom 3 times in the head. There is no spinning or alternative analysis. |
It's sad that they're being encouraged to be in the street. |
