They're not "protesters" they're an illegally organized and operating mob. Protests have to follow laws and rules like everybody else, including in many places for having permits to set aside times for them and allow scheduling for police resources. I have no sympathy for these lawbreakers. Fuck 'em.

Our moms are not our enemies. There are no "designated free speech zones", as all areas are true free speech zones by default and by birth.

The law disagrees.

I'm talking about an immutable law, not some flimsy dictate passed along by mere mortals. It's one of physics, really. Voices carry. Light travels. Thoughts resonate. Ideas are conveyed one way or another. There can never and will never be a limitation of who can or cannot speak their mind. Even when free speech seems suppressed, it's not. In the end, only the highest Authority can dictate such a thing.

Unless you are trying argue the other point. In which case: what, or who on earth do you consider not an enemy? :P

Laws are made by men. There's no such thing as an immutable law.

Good, then change the law to say non-threatening moms can voice their concern without a permit! I feel like I'm trying to get through not just a mind, but a paycheck here.

edit: I see what's happening and it ends here. Good day to you sir or madam.

...??? The hell do you think is happening here? You clearly think something was done wrong but permits and protest regulations have been in place nearly since day one. What, you want them abolished? Because women? What??

Greetings ABlueSkilttle,

Another day.

Hell is exactly what I think is happening here. So many people are seeking true justice and have been voicing their concerns, yet another group is taking entirely too much pleasure in enforcing unjust laws. If the people can't form an impromptu redress of grievances, then why do we have a 1st Amendment at all? Must permission be granted from the very same people who may be acting in error and abusing their authority?

I've already said this, but: the right to free speech will never be suppressed. Not in any form. It's an absolute law of the universe, and can be found at all levels. An extreme attempt to deny this will most likely place you in a void with only yourself for company. There is however, always a way out, imo.

Illegal behavior, assault and property damage as on display here, is not "free speech".

That's ok man, it will all work itself out in the end.

Take it easy~

It's pretty amazing and awe inspiring to see people's heads spin when they can't figure out if they support a strong arm corporate military government, or if they stand with the people who have had enough of the corruption and militarized police abuse. Hm. Decisions Decisions.

"a strong arm corporate military government"

You mean the government that's currently dismantling provably non-racist police departments?

"the people"

You mean hateful, bigoted extremists who have murdered several black people in the name of "Black Lives Matter" already? Or do you mean the majority population that surveys have shown is against the people in this video, including the majority of african-americans?

"support a strong arm corporate military government,"

The rioters are backed by corrupt corporations.

"It's pretty amazing and awe inspiring to see people's heads spin when they can't figure"

So it's awe inspiring when people are confused? How do you function?

"or if they stand with the people who have"

I don't. They need to go home, and stop creating chaos in the streets. This is all a distraction from the economic reset taking place under the guise of a pandemic.

"Hm. Decisions Decisions."

Yes. Should I eat the instant mashed potatoes or the canned ravioli before going to work today.... Intense!

You do know the whole BLM claim of racist police brutality against blacks is utter bullshit?

They get killed at 2.5X the white rate (adjusted for population size) but they get arrested at 5X the rate.

About 1 in 1,000 black men and boys in America can expect to die at the hands of police, according to a new analysis of deaths involving law enforcement officers. That makes them 2.5 times more likely than white men and boys to die during an encounter with cops.

In 800 jurisdictions across the United States, black people were arrested at a rate five times higher than white people over a three-year period ending in 2018, according to an ABC analysis of data voluntarily reported to the FBI.

And yes the arrests are down to offending not racist police policies. Check reported crime stats for confirmation if you doubt it, and most of the victims reporting the crime are themselves black.

They are less likely to die on a per arrest basis. If they committed the same amount of crime as whites they'd die less often than white Americans.

I've had enough of these entitled little rich prick protesters destroying federal, public, and private property.
I've had enough of these selfish, bored little fucksticks using violence to quell any opinion right of AOC.

These "militarized police" are showing far more restraint than they should be. I think it's time to open fire, crack a few skulls, and send these criminal dipshits back to their parents' basements.

As a person, I'm not so great. But my heart is with the mothers, and with all the oppressed people who have had enough. The ones who are in charge give us no real solutions, and the people scream for the chance to at least develop actual solutions.
