Of course, not for patroits like Tea PArty, but for the young rioters and looters, you know, BLM, and such.

They leave trash, and make the cops pollute the air with toxic chemicals and such. Leave rubber bullets, with scraps of scalp and other hazardous waste. Block streets, open gates.

Libs have shown the way, what with pandemic restrictions on free association, and travel and so on.

Shouldnt those wanting to protest, FIRST put up a bond, and an action plan, for informing how many officers will be needed to bash skulls. And pay for those head bashing officers overtime pay? Clearly libs are only protesting to overthrow an election. Should they be allowed to further their conspiracy, on grounds of constitutional rights?

And when it is over, shouldnt they all be kettled, and driven to clean up all trash, rubber bullets with scraps of skull? PErhaps their reason for protesting should be qualified. And if it is fake, DENIED.

The DHS is PROACTIVELY arresting folks, IN CASE THEY ARE THINKING of doing crime. If there is likely to be resistance to cop threats, shouldnt they be denied their privilege to protest? And if not, shouldnt they pay for any damages that are assumed will occur?
 
No. No.

(Said twice because a post has to be at least 5 characters long)
 
No No and NO! Freedom of speech is messy. I don't particularly care about my right to freedom of speech being defended, I will do that myself, but I do care about the freedom of speech of other's being trampled...especially if I disagree with them. Now as long as their freedom of speech allows me to be free from it, no issue here. If you hold me down and yell it in my face, big problem here.
 
The right to "peaceably" assemble should never be changed. We haven't seen many peaceable protests lately.

No.

Just curious, but are you sure about this part?

Citizens should ALWAYS have the right to peacefully protest. And where mayors and governors dont protect their citizens and businesses from the leftist ****s that become violent rioters and looters, the citizens should have the right to defend themselves and their properties.

NO ONE has the right to 'peacefully protest' and violate other individuals. Once you cross that line, you are and should be ****ed.

1. Then you should be outraged at Trump for sending in unaccountable and unidentifiable government agents to chill speech by randomly kidnapping, strip-searching, interrogating, and much later releasing protesters. You should not instead be pretending they are 'protecting federal property' or whatever excuse you give it, nor should you be vomiting up the usual spittle-flecked rants about "leftists."

2. The citizens do have the right to defend themselves and their properties.



It's like any subject you comment on. You could not care less about any of the things you care about. You just want to twist everything to support stupid rants about "leftists."

Legal or illegal, how could any such legislation or action be enforced? In a nation wide protest/riot large enough to prompt official action, it would be CivilWarII.

Legally protesting is an American right. Rioters should be shot on sight. Hey, that's pretty catchy. I like that.
 
No trial, no nothing huh? A imagine you consider yourself a constitutional conservative too. :roll:

Ummmmmmmmmmm, it is you lefties who don't want to give people trials. You want everyone tried in the court of public opinion. No facts for evidence needed. But, getting back to my other post. You get caught with a hammer in your hand or on video then you are executed on sight. And so forth and so on. If you are a real peaceful protester not breaking any laws, you are allowed to continue.

Americans lose their hats at federal officers detaining vandals for questioning. They can't hold together 6 city blocks without government assistance. They can hardly organize enough to articulate an official leadership structure for these protests, much less keep the violent actors out. I can't imagine they have the stomach or organizational ability to actually take up arms against the United States military.

There will be no CWII.

So those the cops decide to bash, get a throwdown hammer attached to their jeans, to justify the MURDER. You right wingers are @#$%#$^E$^ing, @#$@#$@#ed

I am outraged that feds were there doing what they were doing. You can call me many things but one of those things should be 'consistent'. This is not a federal matter, this is a state matter. And for what's it worth, I don't care about it because I don't live there. Do I agree with them? Oh no...not at all. Do I agree with their right to peaceably assemble? Absolutely. Are they? Absolutely not.

Broad brush much?
 
Sounds great, until the cops refuse to go out the streets in fear of being shot on sight.

Sure doesn't seem to be slowing them down in Portland. When there is nothing left to lose, the giant will be awakened; bringing in the army would be America declaring war on America.

There might be some internal military insurrection when the guns come out too - tear gas and rubber bullets are ineffective when its hundreds against thousands.

Meanwhile, you guys let your cities burn down, violence happen, your city blocks being taken over by lawlessness, and your cities get vandalized and looted. Some game plan.

Lol. All of Portland united to manage some graffiti on a courthouse, one good hammer toss and a few stolen fence pieces. And that was before the federal LEOs stepped in. I can't imagine anyone above the level of local gov. of Portland has any fear.

What are we supposed to do? Shoot the right wingers and boogaloos, that are framing the protesters?

LOL. No, it has nothing to do with boogaloos. Lefties are burning their cities down. Lefties are taking over neighborhoods to make them police free zones. But, I do get a big laugh at you wanting to defend the boogaloos from Trump's feds. Have you forgotten already? You are against Trump using the feds against the boogaloos.
