I have trouble imagining a more blatant 1st Amendment violation.
While driving thru Iowa yesterday I caught bits of a new story that a local man who had been arrested after the Jan 6 riot and released was going back to jail because he was caught listening to an anti-vax and anti-government podcast in his garage. That's all the details I got. WTF? I have trouble imagining a more blatant 1st Amendment violation. And how did he get caught?
I read that one of the “defense” attorneys assigned to those folks was having them watch/read all kinds of leftist propaganda while they awaited trial or plea negotiations. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if the judges are imposing (probably with “defense” counsel approval/suggestion) that terms of release include not listening/viewing/reading anything that contradicts the official narrative.
Yup. I posted a couple of articles about that some pages back. The defense attorney is basically having them sign "woke confessions", POW style. I would not be surprised if there is some punishment stipulation for violating their confession.
I'm not sure you can waive fundamental rights; if not those stipulations should not be enforceable.
That assumes they have the means to hire a lawyer that will actually represent their best interests and protect their rights.
The cop who shot Ashli is doing an interview with Lester Holt tomorrow night.https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2021/08/25/officer-who-shot-and-killed-ashli-babbitt-to-reveal-his-identity-in-interview-with-lester-holt/
Holy hell. It's like giving a loaded gun to a chimpanzee...
the last thing you need is rabies. You're already angry enough as it is.OTOH, there wouldn't be a tweeker left in Georgia...
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! AND THROW SOME STEAK ON THE GRILL!
I would feel like a hero too if I shot an unarmed person in an indefensible position. I'm not excusing her actions but they could have yanked her out of the window and cuffed her.
I figure it's now okay if I shoot some sumbitch with a molotov... I'll save countless lives...
"At that point is when I realized they’re here. The chants got louder. I couldn’t make out what they were saying, but it sounded like hundreds of people outside of that door," he said. Footage later depicted Byrd firing his weapon at Babbitt after she broke through a glass window. Byrd stated that he repeatedly yelled orders to step back that went ignored by the crowds. He further emphasized that the shot was a "last resort."
Hawkmoon - Never underestimate another person's capacity for stupidity. Any time you think someone can't possibly be that dumb ... they'll prove you wrong.
Viking - The problem with the modern world is that there aren't really any predators eating stupid people.
Additionally, I read this:So what I read is that it was too loud for him to hear things, but he assumed his shouted orders would be heard. Also I see he had to say "racism".And I still would like to hear something from the geared up cops on the other side of the glass that all seemed pretty calm, not even pointing their weapons at people or worrying much about being overrun.https://www.foxnews.com/media/officer-ashli-babbitt-nbc-news-interview
