It's amazing how many of them are repeatedly arrested and immediately released, isn't it? All those DAs and mayors being totally complicit.
Top be fair, some of it stems from the fact these Freedom Funds have seemingly bottomless pockets and bail out the arrested ASAP after they've been arrested and assigned a bail amount. Throughout the thread, there's been discussion of protestors arrested multiple times only to be out within 24 hours and protesting the very next day. Lather rinse repeat.
Catching up from last night, so forgive please if this has been posted.
The Kenosha rioters have filed a lawsuit stating that their 1st Amendment rights were violated with curfews.
This sounds very similar to the Detroit suit I posted yesterday. The NLG and its cronies looks to be trying a death by 1000 paper cuts tactic with these various suits. It's a shame they can't be somehow consolidated into one Federal case -- preferable with a judge who can find the most legal way to tell the complainants "LOL, no."
A bunch of commies are lawyering up.
I have to wonder if that demand for $3000+ in tire replacement is for Portland SnackVan Guy(tm). If so, he's got a lot of chutzpah to be threatening a lawsuit when it might be argued he has unclean hands in providing active support to Antifa and Allies and possessing itesm that may be of questionable legality.
Trump’s Feds Are Reviewing 'All' the Footage of 2020 Unrest for Possible Crimes
It's about time, and it must be putting the streamers in a no-win situation. Some will undoubtedly bounce and squeak about not showing people on cam/stream even if it means all we see are people's feet. However, the same people's narcissism also means they want to be seen on camera wrecking havoc and getting their attention fix. Even if it takes time for the Feds to review all the footage, they have the patience and resources and this is a good thing for bringing the perpetrators to justice.
Weapons, shields, spike strips recovered during Seattle park cleanup
Because we know these are all must-have items for peaceful protests, amirite?
Portland Pétroleuse Sues Pro-Trump Paintball Patriot for $250,000
WTF is a petroleuse? A female gas station owner? A female fume-sniffer? The latest term in SJW buzzword bingo?
These people might claim to be objective but they are immune to evidence they do not like.
It's easier to name-call a critic or move the goalposts than it is to properly question or refute an argument. And it's totally unacceptable in $CURRENT_YEAR to admit the other side might make an occasionally-valid counterpoint or present a perspective that makes one rethink their own worldview.
The ride never ends
Multiple signs about landlords looks like they are going, full commie
It must be another nationwide thing. Detroit also had a demonstration where rent issues were once again repeated as was restoration of the extra $600/week in Federal Unemployment instead of the $300-400 currently in place. It's obvious they'd rather work at protesting than take or return to a job.
Looks like it's protesting for the sake of protesting.
They'll simply move the goalposts and add another demand to the list to replace an existing one that's been addressed in some way.
A weepy whiner quits the Kenosha newspaper. This turd has a Gofundme, over $20.000 so far. Lots of idiots with money to piss away, I guess.
It sucks that someoen can walk away form a job and get a GFM for $20,000-plus when we have people who don't know how to cover their monthly expenses while their job brings little to no money into their households. One might argue having that much money from a GFM is financial privilege that needs to be checked.
Funny how Trump isn't wanted in Kenosha despite being our president. I bet had he said he wouldn't come, htey'd frame it as him not caring. Biden, on the other hand, gets a pass because he has the (D) by his name.
Bonus points was another comment that said people should instead create a charity for colon cancer....just for black people.
This is the type of thing that should come form a concerted effort to improve the life of Black people, especially if they're more susceptible to colon cancer. Unfortunately, these are also the type of things nobody wants to do because it's too time consuming or doesn't the more selfish demands. It also shows a hipocracy: Peopel can go on GFM and raise $20,000 after they choose to walk away from a job, but they can't work to fund programs to help minorities get the healthcare they need -- especially those with a propensity for serious diseases that cost a lot of money to treat. Those Black lives aren't in the category that matters, apparently.
Getting back on topic, apparently Trump just defunded NYC and several other cities.
Classic, textbook terrorism.
As much as I dislike seeing people charged with domestic terrorism when it's an obvious overstep, many of these crimes committed by Antifa and Allies truly are domestic terrorism and should be treated and charged as such if the evidence exists for it.
Also, this picture from June 6th
This list of demands loos like a template that's been distributed to different cites and tailor-made for their local conditions and laws because I've seen something similar being circulated elsewhere.
I was born in 91 and me and my friends spent at least half the time outside. I get the feeling I may be part of one of if not the last generations to really do so.
When I grew up with few electronics and no internet, kids were encouraged to do anything outside -- even if itwas just reading a book on the porch. But kids then also had more creativity. My neighbors and I would do anything we could think of: cards, street hockey, board games, basketball, neighborhood Olympics, or even make up our own games. Now, everyone is glues to their devices and kids are even discouraged to go outside because nobody knows their neighbors any more. TBF, there's some neighborhoods where being outside is probably a bad idea, but still.
Between the coof and 'protests of peace' looming over the US suburbs, wtf is trick-or-treating going to be like this year? Especially later in the evening, when the teenagers show up en masse after the little kids and their parents have gone home?
It won't surprise me if more people, especially seniors, choose to sit out of Halloween this year because of COVID-realted health reasons or safety concerns over ongoing unrest. It's unfortunate because my neighborhood is one that gets younger Black kids visiting because their own neighborhoods are too unsafe. However, we'll see what happens between now and then.
