    The Supreme Court effectively abolishes the right to mass protest in three US states

    Very relevant. Since the Court assumes that Mr. McKesson knew or should have known that police action was forthcoming as a result of "allowing" protesters to enter the highway and block the road, one should then assume the police officer would have known a blunt object would be hurled at him...

    The Supreme Court effectively abolishes the right to mass protest in three US states

    False. Mr. McKesson had no more foreknowledge of what any one protester would do concerning local law enforcement's response to their presence than the cops knew one of them would be bashed in the face with a stone. The Appeals Court acknowledge this when it stated that Office John Doe...

    The Supreme Court effectively abolishes the right to mass protest in three US states

    Historically, it can be. Just look at the number of black people in Louisiana who have been wrongfully incrassated over not just a few years but decades.

    The Supreme Court effectively abolishes the right to mass protest in three US states

    Yours was part of a point/counter-point argument to which I was really replying to Mungo Jerry's commentary, not yours. I apologize for the confusing and if you were offended. Neither were my intent. In any case, the individual I wanted a reply from responded.

    Doesn't make what I said untrue.

    The Supreme Court effectively abolishes the right to mass protest in three US states

    But that's the problem here, isn't it, i.e., "McKesson should have known...". The problem with this assertion is you can't control what other people may or may not do. As a leading voice in a protest, I could caution people not to do anything to provoke violence against the police, but that...

    Of course they are. They now know they can infiltrate any protest movement pretending to be purveyors of peace but conduct acts of violence, and protest organizers will be held liable, not them.

    Have you read the ruling, sir?

    The Supreme Court effectively abolishes the right to mass protest in three US states

    That's the subset of the ruling - to make those who would organize a protest rally think twice about doing so knowing that one wrong (violent) move against local law enforcement could land them in court or jail. Secondarily, if you're a minority leading the effort, the law will probably lock...

    The Supreme Court effectively abolishes the right to mass protest in three US states

    Basically, the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals treated this case as if they were hearing it for the first time (i.e., a de novo standard of review) and ignored everything that was presented in the initial case, as well as, the District Court's ruling just so it could reach a conclusion that...

    The Supreme Court effectively abolishes the right to mass protest in three US states

    I think this decision is wrong-headed whether at the lower district court level or with SCOTUS choosing not to get involved. This goes all the way back to the civil rights protest in Birmingham, AL, where Sheriff Bull Conner insisted that protesters needed to get a permit to march, and then he...

    Iran launches dozens of drones at Israel, Israeli official says

    In summary: Iran launched 300+ missiles at Israel, the vast majority of which were repealed by the Iron Dome defense system and U.S. Navy at-sea deterrence. Iran gets to say "we struck back at a religious enemy" knowing they really didn't do any harm, Israel gets to stick out its tongue and...

    Trump Threatens in Fundraising Email: ’72 Hours Until All Hell Breaks Loose!’

    Trump may not say it publicly (he'll continue to deny ever reading Mein Kamf which we know is a lie based on how he acts), but he yearns to have the public come out and disrupt social order on his behalf. It's why he sat stewing in the White House on January 6 watching things unfold as opposed...

    Trump Threatens in Fundraising Email: ’72 Hours Until All Hell Breaks Loose!’

    Trump is using what has become his typical MO - declare "the sky is falling unless you help me" and then urge his MAGA supporters to basically make a choice: silently stand-by and watch things unfold - which they should do if they truly believe in law and order, the rule of law, that no man is...

    O.J. Simpson, former football star acquitted of murder, dies at 76

    I've never heard that one, but for a Californian living in Compton/South-Central LA, it tracks. :LOL:
