Where is this happening, and does data show this at a level unprecedented in American history? We’ve prosecuted people ranging from colonial British loyalists to the Klan to the Mob, street gangs and drug cartels, militias, al-Qaeda / ISIS types, and the January 6th insurrectionists and government lawyers haven’t needed to hide their identities. The idea that these lawyers have such an unprecedented grave risk really needs some serious evidence to be taken seriously because the potential for abuse is huge.
- FirmwareBurner 1y agoBad faith apples to oranges comparison. Different times back then, law enforcement had a lot more power to retaliate to violence against them. What would have happened to you if you threw rocks at cops in the 1950s? So of course today you need to hide your identity when you're being assaulted like this by deranged protesters who think they are on the right side of history, but the law enforcement isn't allowed to retaliate in defense to protect you or themselves without being called Nazis or fascists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVYe6537FWo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVYe6537FWo
