House Democrats arrested

This is just plain stupid. It isn’t helping the cause. If you want to protect abortion rights then organize, fundraise, and get people to the polls. Not this kind of stunt.

Am I bad person for seeing the person who started the thread, knowing who was arrested, and exactly what the hot take would be?

English version please. I’m not a youngster like you.

It’s a civil, organized, peaceful protest if Dems are involved.
It should only be considered a violent, illegal riot if the other side is involved. Duh.

This is fundraising.

I agree with you for once. This is fundraising for the Republicans.

Wrong. With the hearings going on and all the corruption in the Trump administration this is the worst possible time to pull this shit. Idiots.

We know at least one Trump loyalist in the Secret Service erased a lot of messages generated on Jan 5 and 6.

Wouldn't be surprised to find there are a significant number of Trump loyalists in the Capital and DC police force as well who'll gleefully arrest some protestors while letting others do things like say invade the Capital to stop the Electoral College certification.

We know. Good people on both sides yadayadayada

Are you condoning the actions of members of Congress breaking the law?
Do you feel they should NOT have been arrested?

They did it wrong. They should have encouraged their followers to rampage the Supreme Court. Then live tweeted the hiding places of the justices. Later they could say it looked like a normal tourist day at the Supreme Court, and deny they live tweeted anything.

Yeah it probably would have worked out better if the mob and organized and then summoned by the sitting US President. And then blamed it on the proud boys.

Arrested for Blocking Traffic.

What? They didn’t tweet the whereabouts of justices?

For the record, I believe they should be arrested for the crime they committed and serve a just penalty.

From the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy:

"Civil disobedience is a public, non-violent and conscientious breach of law undertaken with the aim of bringing about a change in laws or government policies. On this account, people who engage in civil disobedience operate at the boundary of fidelity to law, have general respect for their regime, and are willing to accept the legal consequences of their actions, as evidence of their fidelity to the rule of law. Civil disobedience, given its place at the boundary of fidelity to law, is said on this view to fall between legal protest, on the one hand, and conscientious refusal, uncivil disobedience, militant protest, organized forcible resistance, and revolutionary action, on the other hand."

One of the things I like about this quote is that it roughly states a differential scale of severity, purpose, and expectation. Something that you particularly are often unwilling to recognize.

So weird. I am sorry you can’t deal with Trump losing, but you need to get a grip and do something with yourself.

I'm sure the mainstream media had a field day with this most consequential of stories. House Democrats arrested 502811600

and the fact that people buy into the silly narrative amplifies just how gullible Americans are and how we get exactly what we deserve.
