- filoeleven 10mo agoThe protesters aren't the ones doing that. Have you not seen the news?
- charcircuit 10mo agoThere are protesters that are obstructing law enforcement. It is undeniable that such protestor exist and this HN thread is about going after those people.
- janalsncm 10mo agoThe thread is about going after people on Signal who are tracking officer locations. There are entirely legitimate reasons to want that information including exercising your first amendment rights at that location.
- charcircuit 10mo agoAnd there are illegitimate reasons too like going there to obstruct law enforcement operations. Since there are people obstructing law enforcement, the mechanisms that which such groups of people operate need to be investigated.
- janalsncm 10mo agoThat’s not the standard. It doesn’t matter whether there could be illegitimate reasons. There could also be illegitimate reasons for using Google Maps. It’s still allowed. What matters is the intent of the people publishing the information, which the government will need to prove was illegal.
- charcircuit 10mo agoAs part of an investigation Google Maps could be subpoenaed. It's allowed but there may be a need to investigate.
- habinero 10mo agoOh no, not civil disobedience. The horror.
- charcircuit 10mo agoYes, it is horrible for people to break the law. Glorifying it for protesting purposes is destructive to a civilized society and downgrades us to a third world country.
- filoeleven 10mo agoThe protests are because the trump regime is breaking the law.
- charcircuit 10mo agoIf you believe someone is breaking the law that doesn't mean it is permissible to also break the law. That is asking for society to spiral into chaos.
- ceejayoz 10mo ago> That is asking for society to spiral into chaos. You're so very close to getting it.

- plagiarist 10mo agoI see the problem here. So, actually, the ones in masks who are randomly assaulting (sometimes murdering) nonviolent bystanders are ICE, not the protestors. Hope that helps.
- charcircuit 10mo agoI am talking about protestors who obstruct law enforcement and their operations. Protestors who threaten regular people and law enforcement. Protestors who damage other people's property. Protestors who violate noiseordnance. Protestors who are trespassing. I am not referring to actual bystanders. Implying that I am is purposefully being ignorant of what I am talking about.
