The GOP justice fuckers released this decision a day the libs are focused on Trump’s trial. For example - how much airtime will this horrible decision get on MSNBC today? MNSBC’s biggest story (by far?) will be pointless minutiae about jury selection in Trump’s NYC case.
The facts of the Mckesson case are, unfortunately, quite tragic. Mckesson helped organize the Baton Rouge protest following the fatal police shooting of Alton Sterling. During that protest, an unknown individual threw a rock or similar object at a police officer, the plaintiff in the Mckesson case who is identified only as “Officer John Doe.” Sadly, the officer was struck in the face and, according to one court, suffered “injuries to his teeth, jaw, brain, and head.”
Hmmm, yes. Tragic.
suffered “injuries to his teeth, jaw, brain, and head.”
So - a scratch???
:waow-based:
These are the same hogs constantly complainig that the “left” hates “free speech” lmao
Land of the free
But but IRAN!
But Russia!
Not even joking. Our (Russian) pro-western libs always make a big deal about “right to protest”. Used to have big gatherings on 31st of some month (because right to assembly is 31st article of the constitution, AFAIK). That got wrapped up eventually. More recently we had people posing with empty sheets of paper in front of cameras, usually next to some important building (i.e. next to kremlin on the red square). And when those people eventually got bagged by cops (which arguably was the point of these performances) they would soapbox about how this doesn’t happen in le free and enlightened democratic West.
So yeah. I’m gonna be laughing all the way.
That whole article is like the end of Schnit-heads:https://youtu.be/TaHrFKBAhNg Except, you know, instead of a joke in a children’s cartoon, it’s the highest legal authority spinning the Fascism Dial…Definitely not Fedposting or calling for violence. Simply thinking about the state of our Constitutional Rights
I think that about does it for the 1st Amendment. Good thing the 2nd is so well protected down there…
being visibly armed while protesting is just good strategy.
Is it? I would imagine it would make you more likely to be a target. (I don’t live in the US)
nah the pigs don’t want to tear gas or shoot any “nonleathal” crowd control shit at a bunch of people with real guns.
you might have problems later if they identify you and gin up a felony conviction but that’s what black bloc and leaving your phone at home is for.
Oh I see. That makes sense, they aren’t going to actually put their lives on the line, they’ll only attack protestors who can’t fight back.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
if they can do away with constitutional rights then it should be easy to do private property rights next
Well, if they can just hold you criminally liable if they just feel like it’s a violent protest, even if it came from one person, why shouldn’t all protests just do massive amounts of violence there? It’ll be the same punishment.
