We all watched protesters demonstrate in a public building, and yes, disrupt the transition of power. Peaceful disruption of the government is the quintessential act of protest.
>call the press the “enemy of the free state.”
Criticism of media is terrorism?
>kidnap elected officials
That group was comprised almost entirely of undercover agents along with a couple of mentally ill people. The FBI orchestrated the entire thing.
>disrupt transfer of power
Again, a valid target for protest.
- ethanbond 5y agoIn a democracy, the results of a free and fair election are actually not a valid target of protest if your form of protest entails an attempt to overturn those results. Feel free to disrupt traffic and make a scene elsewhere.
- Grieving 5y agoIn a democracy, people should be allowed to protest if they believe an election is not free and fair, no? If not, why? This is a strange line in the sand that to my knowledge has never existed before in American history. People have protested and contested elections numerous times. > Feel free to disrupt traffic and make a scene elsewhere. Yes, disrupt the worker bees, not the queen. Edit: it does seem strange that you wouldn't include some sort of disclaimer in this convo about your employer's stake in "counter-terrorism".
