Not quite as ironic as a President complaining about his right to free speech in a private forum (not a violation of the 1st amendment) even as he is threatening threatening to use the military to suppress peaceful protests (an actual violation of the 1st amendment).

- iamstupidsimple 6y ago> threatening threatening to use the military to suppress peaceful protests (an actual violation of the 1st amendment). The 1st amendment only covers peaceful protesters who aren't burning buildings down and having gunfights in the street.
- ogre_codes 6y agoThere have been thousands of protestors out on the streets for nearly a month now. If there were burning buildings and having gunfights in the streets this whole time, there wouldn't be any cities left.
- iamstupidsimple 6y agoUhh, have you seen the CHAZ/CHOP? Edit: 38 people shot in half a day in NYC: https://www.pix11.com/news/local-news/24-people-shot-in-18-incidents-over-12-hours-in-nyc-nypd-says https://www.pix11.com/news/local-news/24-people-shot-in-18-i...
- ogre_codes 6y ago> Uhh, have you seen the CHAZ/CHOP? Don't live in Seattle so not personally. I do have a people I trust who live there who have been to the center of the "CHAZ" area he it's fine. They haven't even burned down the Police station which would be target number 1 if they were out-of-control.
- iamstupidsimple 6y agoThree people were recently shot in CHAZ, and it's why loads of protesters left.
