100 is one thing. 1,000 would be another. 10,000 is still more.
There are only so many cells. The power sits with the people. But you can't just post your way out of fascism.
Do you think they would have stopped at 100 people, had they had more cells available?
A hundred people arrested for exercising their Free Speech by protesting a man being illegally deported for exercising his Free Speech...
It's the fucking First Amendment! The FIRST one, and arguably the most important one! Dark days, people...
As much as many don't like it, it's textbook trespassing. It was private property, if they ask you to leave and you don't you can get arrested. And cops love to pile on with obstruction and resisting arrest charges. I'm an advocate of protest and speech but if you want to plan to not be arrested, you have to be on the public easement or some other established public property/forum. I think here they were planning to be arrested, and I respect that.
You make some good points. How dare you...
Well if the First one doesn't work..
Shit's getting biblical now, jeez.. you're eventually gonna end up with the Whore of Babylon. no one will do business with you. and it couldn't be happening in a more openly stupid and blatant way. "America's Champagne industry". like, come on. but it's by design! they've been dumbing people down for decades now while pumping them full of American Faith. it's scary, because we're ALL about to find out what happens when we let one country get so fucking powerful. How do you claw back the football now?
