protest issues

Politico: DeSantis asks protesters to stay out of Florida roads in reversal on anti-riot law I think he's created trouble for defending the new Florida law in court--despite hastily backing away from selective enforcement, he demonstrated how easy it is for selective enforcement to occur.

I found this story interesting: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/sen-josh-hawley-s-wife-files-criminal-complaint-over-protest-outside-couple-s-washington-dc-home-report/ar-BB1dsfgi?ocid=msedgntp Summary: On January 4, protestors held a rally at the home of Senator Josh Hawley over his...

The Usual suspects, including Alex Jones. https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-ne-proud-boys-leader-downplays-coup-20201112-hcwnvrdolfa4tkdwtk46cqgwaa-story.html I think the main aim of this is to provoke a response from counterdemonstrators, provoking violence. I hope the BLM and others will...

https://twitter.com/DailyCaller/status/1284988892471599104 I'm a loyal Democrat but I don't understand why some people on the left seem to think that this sort of thing is acceptable. Nor why local politicians like mayors would allow their cities to be destroyed like this. This is obviously...

I can't verify the video, but if it's true - is this action constitutional? https://twitter.com/sparrowmedia/status/1283436911307218948 There seems no way of identifying the officers - no ID numbers that I could see, just "Police" patches.

I'm curious what other people think about this whole controversy. Long story short some people want to build a telescope on a site in Hawaii, other people say site is sacred, and the entire discussion has been dipped in the "But America colonized Hawaii" baggage. Me personally "OMG WHITE...

So the NFL is going to start punishing players and teams that don't partake in mandatory political messaging before games. On social media conservatives are hailing the decision with comments that seem to best be summarized as "Yes, make them stand!" "Make them stand?" What is the point when...

I'm going to have to think about this one for a bit.

The recent wave of protests during the National Anthem that was sparked by Colin Kaepernick's "taking a knee" before San Francisco 49 'ers football games has become a hot issue around the country as thousands of other fans and athletes across the country are starting to do the same thing...

What's your opinion. I think they are kind of stupid. Here is the background. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Quebec_student_protests Most people on here are at least left leaning. These people are fairly leftist. But I'm thinking most on here wouldn't even support them. Try and convince...

OK, so there is a NATO summit meeting here in Chicago in a few days, and there are supposed to be thousands of legitimate demonstrators (and dozens of criminal anarchists here to cause only trouble) and I cannot for the life of me figure out what there is to protest? I know the peace activists...

The title says it all. Using minimal force on people blocking a street is sensible. Gratuitously pepper spraying people who are sitting legally on grass by the side of the street isn't. Justifying it with an explicit, direct lie shows the arrogance and confidence held by the thugs. The fact...

How do people with no job go on strike? http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/02/us/occupy-demonstrators/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 This pretty much sums it up:

Here's my coverage of the OccupyLA protest that occurred yesterday at Los Angeles City Hall. What do you guys think? Was the coverage fair? Did you agree with any of the signs? Part 1. Part 2. <-------- Some moron yelling at cops. Part 3. Part 4.

Never let it be said that Chinese justice isn't swift. They committed their "crime" of trying to get approval to hold a protest only during the last two weeks and they're already off to prison for a year. Emphasis mine. "Will you withdraw your request for a permit, or would you like to go to a...
