She said TSA held her up and said her documentation was fake and yet... she seems to be at home in this video?
She had "multiple forms of proof of citizenship" and she just conveniently had it on hand? Does she walk around with her birth certificate as well as her passport?
If they let her go, evidently she wasn't deported or turned away at the border (edit: sounds like she may have been flying domestic from Portland, so no border to turn her away at), so why did they change their mind?
Curious as to what the full story is here, she's clearly leaving things out.
Gotta love that double chin tattoo as well. Really emphasizes it.
She said "earlier this year" which could mean...anything, but the first thing which jumps to mind is the switch from state ID to RealID for domestic flights, but that was pretty recent. Like May 25th recent.

IIRC Only Military ID, Real ID, or passports are accepted so that would explain why they didn't give a shit about birth certificates or any of her "multiple forms of documentation" because none of them are accepted as a Real ID substitute, and citizenship has nothing to do with any of it. My guess based on her uh...posturing is that they said it wasn't valid and she's twisting that into "fake" to muddy the waters and get some views out of it.

After all, "TSA turned me away because I didn't bring valid ID to security" isn't nearly as sexy a concept for a video nor does it dovetail with current anti-ICE tantrums.
 
Leftist says people should embrace "recreational terrorism" and mount themselves on rooftops to "show their appreciation" (aka attack) ICE officers.

He’s brave for posting his face to content like this. He better hope his employer doesn’t see it lol.
 
You know (I am saying this as a third worlder) American protests are fascinating for a number of reasons. You see, where I am at, it is either protestors killing cops or cops killing protestors (depending on the shithole in question).
In America its completely different. Cops don't kill protestors and protestors don't hurt cops (for the most part, but heaven knows those antifa guys could get away with murder). Its usually protestors killing fellow protestors (many such cases. How many kids died in CHAZ?) or counter protestors and protestors killing each other.
This type of violence seems to be a historical norm in America. It brings to mind Bleeding Kansas .
So I have to ask, is bloodletting a core component in your history? Or do you regard these occurrences as aberrations?
In the 1920s the Tennessee National Guard machine gunned a White lynch mob that was trying to storm a jail to get a Black man.

Nothing from the past decade has been normal American culture.

That said, not pertaining specifically to the police suddenly up and becoming useless, I’ve heard claims that America is more violent at a public (instead of state) level. Jacksonian America had tons of mobs. Lynching as both a frontier justice (mostly in Appalachia, the Ozarks and the West) method and as racial terror (not just the South with Blacks: Mexicans in the Southwest, Chinese in California, and also Blacks in the North too). The Mine Wars (Blair Mountain), Range Wars (Johnson County) and other labor wars.

No. These are relatively recent actions. It's not that protesting isn't a core part of our history, it is. It's just that people were more....competent back in the day. Here, these kids can't start a fire with a match and LARP as joker and do remarkably stupid things except they have access to more tolerance and weapons. They can do more damage, but unfortunately they're retarded. So they just wind up doing damage to everyone around them instead.

That is what I had in mind when I asked. However, I think its fair to also add that before the 20th century this kind of culture was just more widespread pretty much everywhere. The Appalachians for instance inherited some aspects of their culture from the Scotts Irish stock that were somewhat used to living in conditions of near anarchy on a frontier, and taking justice into their own hands. And, I mean its not like this attitude disappeared. The troubles in Northern Ireland can be considered the last hurrah for this political culture in Ireland.

Interesting point. Do you think that if say the French had the same access to weaponry as the Americans we would see the same pattern there?
