So the people who screamed about the scary, scary BLM protesters rioting due to what they (rightly) viewed as a miscarriage of justice now think rioting should happen because of what they (wrongly) view as a miscarriage of justice.
As usual, it's okay with they do it.
"But this time the guy was ~~white~~ ~~rich~~ ~~Republican~~ innocent!"
And if they make that argument, I'll tell them that means they believe people are "guilty until proven innocent" and don't deserve a trial by a jury of their peers, which is as unAmerican an idea as you can get.
Not going to be useful. They don't want a democracy, they don't want a justice system. They want a king and the ability to use state power to shit on other people.
Trust me, I am in Indiana. I'm surrounded by these flag-waving morons. You call them unAmerican and they lose their shit. And all I have to do is pull up the Bill of Rights.
Either PBS or NPR had a thing a few years back where they’d read sections of the Bill of Right on air, as part of Independence Day celebrations.
The right wing folks who heard it thought it was communist propaganda.
Do they not still do that? I've had to listen to a lot less NPR since my daughter decided I'm not allowed to listen to the radio in the car.
Rude.
I get all this talk about their rights yet they seem so fundamentally opposed to me having mine.
These people are terrible citizens.
No argument from me. As the person above said, they don't want a democracy or a justice system. They are as bad a citizen you can get without actively sending classified information to a rival power.
They are all members of the cult, just sadly the majority of them don't realize they are. This is David Koresh on steroids! He has a platform previous cults did not, and has captured a political party to use for recruitment. It has become apparent that at some point the media and the country need to start treating his cult as such, and we need to figure out how to "rescue" millions of people that would do anything for their cult leader because they have broken all tethers to reality. Putting the cult leader in jail is not going to bring these people back, and is going to require mental health resources on a scale the US (and the world) has never had to deal with before. This is going to have repercussions for generations.
They're downright bad people too. They dont get to do a few good deeds while trying to use political power to do away with human life and human rights without being called the moster they are.
I love getting called a liberal pussy by civilian clowns that have never served a day. Pretty sure the government trained me to kill.
