Forward Synthesis #wingnut #psycho datasecretslox.com
I get to be consistent here and point to my previous longstanding positions that:
-BLM protesters should have been subdued at gunpoint, and if they resisted they should have been shot
-Ashli Babbit was rightfully killed
-Protesting is a disordered halfway house action meant as a show of force/practice army logistics/intimidation of government and others
-Its former use in "petitioning the government" only made sense in a world where communication was inefficient and it was difficult for groups to transmit their opinions to the whole nation
-Children should be educated in the difference between free speech (being able to say what you want without arrest or fines), and protest (turning up as an army to physically occupy an area)
-Sadly, liberals hundreds of years ago in all Western countries conflated protest with speech rights, and this has now seeped into people's brains to such a degree that they think banning protests is automatically a step to a tyranny with no input from the public, but it may take hundreds of years to undo.
Even so, this was a bad shoot, and really bad PR for ICE which already doesn't have great PR. This could escalate into a BLM 2020 style situation.
