Perhaps you should start a fund to subsidize the internment of BLM protesters around the USA. Otherwise, who are you to expect other communities to fund the temporary relief from your butthurt?
There would be no doubt in that.
What does the Malheur Wildlife Refuge seizure have to do with inconvenience? It really isn't much of an inconvenience to anyone except those who are getting stalked by the protesters. It is more about heavily armed status of the occupiers and their statements of being "ready to die", implying they would use lethal force, insist that the Federal Government lacks the right to own the property, and their stated intention of having no intention of leaving that really makes it a pretty big deal. And of course, their destruction of a fence that the adjoining property didn't want removed.
But are there snacks?
Please. We all know that if the BLM protesters were armed or if there was even a hint that they *might* be armed, they would be dead right now.
Yeah, well I tend to prefer to live in a society that understands that people will have grievances, and not want to create a police state in order to make sure we have absolute tranquility.
I'm not sure if it was moral, as I would need to know much more about the situation. But it certainly isn't a horrible thing in the grand scheme of things.
And calling the #BLM protesters "terrorists" isn't misleading? ROTFLMAO No, Derec this #BLM event is/was clearly within the normative of what most all people would call protesting, and little else beside being a public nuisance, unlawful assembly and obstructing free passage.
Yes, because the resulting standing ovation would cause a traffic jam.
If they have grievances they need to air them on December 23rd like the rest of us, not block highway/bridge traffic. It is not a police state to aggressively go after idiots like that, no matter their political motivation. Would you be as understanding if you were trapped on a bridge because some pro-lifers or anti-gay-marriage activists decided to have themselves a little "protest"?
Tell that to the people who were trapped there.
It was a direct reference to the thread about the Oregon occupiers.
You forgot to mention false imprisonment.
Oh really?
One of the things Occupy Bay Bridge idiots were complaining about is gentrification, which is about ownership and control of real estate.
If you trap somebody on a bridge for two hours that's false imprisonment.
I don't recall Derec calling for the imprisonment of New Jersey officials over slowing traffic to a standstill on a bridge to New York.
People are routinely getting jail sentences for crimes much less serious than blocking a busy highway bridge. They also usually spend at least one night in jail before their bail hearing.
That resulted in several federal felony charges. So you think those responsible for Bay Bridge shutdown should face federal felony charges as well or at least state felony charges since the bridge is not between states?
Well Jamar Clark's Bunch managed to occupy a police precinct for three weeks and they were asking for food and firewood.
And the Bay Bridge is not government property?
Well one of the things that go the #BLMer panties in a bunch is that a known gangbanger was shot dead when he stabbed somebody and refused to drop the knife when he got surrounded by police.
