No iminent harm by silently holding a sign.

Do I agree with their message? No. Do they have the right to speak it? Yes.

Exactly, the majority of the extreme protesters are best typified as the UF president stated in his letter back in October…

“Our Constitution protects the rights of people to make abject idiots of themselves.“

The Columbia grad student giving a speech about needing “humanitarian aid”for fellow protesters or those claiming they are being starved are out of touch morons.  The cult of the oppressed who somehow feel the need to make themselves out to be persecuted in their protests to feel included are idiots….but none of them are breaking the law as a whole and our country has its foundation in allowing people to make fools of themselves for something they believe in, regardless of what it is. 

Don’t block streets, don’t forcefully barricade yourselves in public buildings to the detriment of others and complain when you’re removed, don’t assault or overly intimidate passerby’s…and then you can do whatever eye rolling performative nonsense your heart desires.

Jewish students disagree with your opinion.

He's one for you, counselor. Should she be arrested for assault?

If she was wearing a white hood and said, "KKK's next target," would that be assault?

Thought this was Ramsey?

No. Ramsey is in the portal and the rumor is that he's going to Seton Hall.

Maximum 10-year sentence. Are you sure these are not selective political prosecutions of "making people feel uncomfortable?"

https://thehill.com/homenews/ap/ap-u-s-news/ap-6-activists-convicted-of-illegally-blocking-abortion-clinic-in-tennessee/

Attorneys representing the defendants say they plan on appealing the convictions. The legal team has described the 2021 demonstration as a “peaceful life-affirming gathering” and has accused the federal justice department of prosecuting “pro-life activists” ever since the Supreme Court’s landmark 2022 abortion decision.

“This was a peaceful demonstration by entirely peaceable citizens — filled with prayer, hymn-singing, and worship — oriented toward persuading expecting mothers not to abort their babies,” said Steve Crampton, an attorney with the Thomas More Society.

Before Roe was overturned, the Justice Department oversaw just a handful of FACE Act violation cases. In 2021, just three cases involving three defendants were charged, and in 2020, the agency handled just one case.

By 2022, that number jumped to 11 cases involving 29 defendants. And last year, there were 10 cases and 22 defendants.

Advocates like the National Abortion Federation say the uptick in cases reflects the rise in harassment and violence abortion clinics have faced since state abortion bans have been allowed to go into effect.

In a 2022 report, the organization said abortion providers across the U.S. saw noticeable spikes in the number of death threats, stalkings, burglaries and arsons compared with the year prior.

Yet a growing number of conservative groups and Republican lawmakers have responded to these numbers by saying law enforcement has downplayed similar threats and violence against Catholic churches and so-called “crisis pregnancy centers,” which counsel against abortions.



Are you thinking that I’m going to dispute that we have too many laws on the books which cause prosecutors to often over-charge people? Because I whole-heartedly agree with that.

But you brought this up as some sort of “gotcha” to my point about protestors even though the situations aren’t the same. Again shifting goalposts.

That's not how the law works.

If a law is not being broken, why would they be arrested.
