terrorist kills Minnesota lawmaker

If I am correct about the nature of this picture, it looks like a protest where permits were possibly filed or, at least, the police are shutting off the roadway. You can also see how the folks are mostly staying on the walkway.

It's a big difference with what we are seeing in the impromptu protests where roads are blocked.
So you are presenting the possibility that @C-south wasn't having murder fantasies about killing protesters in the street that aren't surrounding cars and threatening people, even though the context was escaping people who are surrounding his car and threatening him?

As much as I like you as a poster, you go a bridge too far to be taken seriously this time.
 
You and your murder fantasies, ***hole.
Then I guess free speech also includes protesting by blocking a railroad track or a runway. Go give those a try and get back to us.

i also noticed they are not carrying flags of African nations
 
That's the event. That is the reason I wouldn't hesitate to drive through people if I had to.
Wasn't there an event some years ago in Virginia Beach where a young couple was pulled from their car and severely beaten? Seems the guy suffered very serious injuries. I've seen the video, but did not find it in a cursory search just now.
 
What would flags carried have to do with a peaceful protest? I don't follow.
Law and murder-fantasies aside... It's a stupid look to be waving the flag of the country that is apparently such a ****-hole that you'll protest against being sent back to it, while burning the country you are trying to convince you'll be of benefit to.

The number one and two rules of self-protection are situational awareness, and not letting an aggressor get close enough to take your choices away from you.

Yep. Weren't they were protesting in order to be able to join everyday American society as equals?

I mean, the left always tells us what an oppressive heck hole America is, right? And immigrants must agree since they are fondly waving the flags of their homeland. I just assume they are just wanting to go home; so why does the left oppose freeing them from exploitative capitalism by providing them with a FREE flight home?

What could possibly make Americans soften their stance on deporting illegal aliens? Seeing immigrants wave another country's flag while attacking our cities.

That'll convince everyone that an unknown number of unknown, unvetted people living here is the right idea.

Fully agree!!! I remind my wife all the time to pay attention when she pulls into a gas station, parking lot, etc. I do. When people are wanting to act like a**holes, let them do it away from me and I'll leave them alone. Live and let live.

You know, to borrow from our good friend Luther, there is a continuum of lethality based on context.
 
Free speech protects people when they are in the road?

It certainly doesn't protect them when they are threatening or dangerous.
Being surrounded and unable to escape is pretty much straight analogous to false imprisonment. If a person is not free to go by another's unambiguous actions outside of any legal authority that's literally a crime. (Their being in the road in such a manner is, I believe, it's own crime) I'm really not particularly enthusiastic that playing real life Grand Theft Auto is a good thing but I've become increasingly frustrated with how people that absolutely, positively, irrefutably acting in an illegal manner can be given if not some benefit of the doubt and outright pass. I don't care what the cause happens to be if your actions are, with no possible way of denying the intent, f'ing around with other people just trying to get through their day the overwhelming majority of any onus for a bad outcome is on you.

They've certainly convinced me.

See you! Off I'm off the gun range.
 
The options aren't "run people over with your car or die," certain people just love imagining that scenario
If they begin to attack your vehicle the two basic instincts are fight or flight. If option 2 is denied you things ratchet up. Someone innocent and not part of the mob may resort to aggressive means to get to safety.

It's horrible to put someone in that position to begin with. While I agree there shouldn't be greenlight for running them down in certain situations that action could be warranted.

How about we stop normalizing false imprisonment/holding people against their will as a valid form of protest? That way they are safe and so are people going about their business.

That's a cynical way to look at it. I am 100% in favor of any peaceful protest. The cause doesn't matter to me. The flags they wave do not matter. Those symbols are more about solidarity of the protesters than they are anger with America.
...at least that is how i see it.

take it up with the CiC. he has softened his stance.

“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,” Trump wrote.

“In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs," he added. "This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!”

Fair enough. Just for the record, i was being ironic 😉

Obviously, it was the flag-waving city-burning that changed Trump's mind. Your logic is unassailable, and all I can do is congratulate you.

more like it was people expressing the first amendment rights to tell him it was a bad idea that changed his mind.

in this case those people came with big $$$ attached it to it. and I am sure the $$$ had absolutely, nothing at all, zip, zero, and nada, to do with Trump's decision making.

Make up your mind. Was it the city burning that you originally quoted? Peaceful protests? Or big money?


I think I may be able to help. He said it was feedback from the industry leaders (i.e. money).
