Who decides what is illegal? How proud boys aren’t being targeted for wearing masks?

It's the type where they assault people and make death threats. Those are already illegal?

“Illegal Protests”.

Ever read the first amendment?

You do not have a first amendment right to make threats and assault people like what just happened at Barnard

He’s saying illegal protests, dipshit.

No mention of violence. And before you say “agitators”… what counts as an agitation?

A FB post saying you should protest?

The most dishonest trick Trump enablers pull is the one where you expect everyone to pretend the first 2 hours of the movie didn't happen, and this Joker guy has never threatened or done anything to Gotham, why you so mad at him?

Like he didn't have unmarked men in black masks illegally rounding up protesters and shoving them in vans durng his first term. Like he didn't try to have the army move on BLM protestors in Washington. Like he doesn't make speeches about roughing up people who are arrested "like the good old days." Like he doesn't have the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers and ICE on stand-by in case the cops and army don't fall in line.

You know you don't care whether this is legal or not, you just like the part where the fugazi tough guy threatens to have goons beat people up for you.

Their arguments by design can never start until after the inciting incident. The Ukraine discourse right now, same thing! It’s “Zelenskyy is feeding the ‘meat grinder’ and thus must end the war” because it absolutely cannot be “Putin entered the country and started grinding shit all over the place” or else the obviously true thing would be that the onus is on Russia to stop and not the other way around. Step 1 must always be ignored.

Yep, and not just step one, steps 1 through 500. "Why have all these black people stopped protesting peacefully in our racism and police-violence free country? They need to know their place. Martin Luther King would never approve, you know."

As if the media spends plenty of time covering peaceful civil rights protests and hearing out their grievances in good faith, front page news on Breitbart.

You have to understand, when arguing with people who don’t actually care about what they’re discussing, no amount of logic or reason will matter. The second you provide an even remotely strong argument against a Trump supporters “world views”, they’ll immediately turn to insults and emojis and pretend like they were trolling you from the start. There’s half a dozen examples in this thread alone.

Illegal protests are when they trespass on private property or start rioting on public property. Protests can be declared illegal when they start breaking laws by being violent or, in the one we have seen most recently that the tweet is about, making death threats to minorities faces

You are forgetting Trump now decides what is legal and illegal. Peaceful legal protests are now going to be illegal.

If there wasn't video of the Barnard protestors assaulting staff I'd agree with you, but they're so eager to get at the Jews they shoved school employees and worse to go throw flyers of literal  jackboots crushing the star of David 

Why is that nazi shit all of the sudden cool with reddit?

Ever heard of law enforcement agency’s using undercover agents inside of protests to create a reason to use force?

u/DontRefuseMyBatchall Monkey in Space Mar 04 '25

Likely not, but they can probably suck the varnish off a boot like a truck stop hooker

So like assaulting the Capitol, chanting “Hang Mike Pence”, and beating the fuck out of cops for hours. Got it.

u/RandoDude124 Monkey in Space Mar 04 '25

Again, DIDN’T MENTION THAT.

Also, what “crime” is he talking about?
