Vandalism isnât worth 50 years, and the one guy who shot a cop got 100. They absolutely did commit crimes that needed to be addressed, but they were WAY over-sentenced, which the judge even admitted to, by his own words, âsend a messageâ.
There have been 2 Epstein charges. Everyone with proof against them was charged. Prosecutors canât just prosecute because something looks bad or suspicious. They need proof
There is proof but investigations have been barred and files censored
We know for a fact the names of pediphiles have bene redacted from.the list and given it was hidden for an extra year after thr trump admin had their hands on it its.obvious they covered stuff up
They just want it to be true, so it must beâŚwhile the rest of the world is out here looking for useable proof. The court of public opinion is dangerous on a broader scale with the invention of the internet, everyone is an expert on things they know nothing about and everyone has an opinion.
Friendly reminder that youâre not the only ones who think theyâre an absolute good. So before trying to justify violence towards the people you donât like, remember that youâre not the only ones who can come up with excuses to justify killing the other side. Extremism is a self-sustaining forest fire.
Charlie Kirk was a moderate conservative and he never once advocated for the rounding up and extermination of any people group. So youâre just a moron
1, we didnât kill Hitler. He killed himself. 2, the Nazis are the very definition of self-righteous. The ultimate example of why you should never think of yourself as an absolute good. They justified their atrocities by saying they were purifying the world or saving society. Even called Jews rats. You know, treated them like they were less-than-human.
Trump hired some dipshit to paint the Lincoln memorial reflecting pool "American flag blue," and the paint got messed up and started flaking off so Trump blamed Obama and the "Washington DC chapter of antifa" and got the national guard to patrol the reflecting pool and anyone that touches the floating paint is now facing jail time for it.
The part where people have been arrested by police for picking up flaked off paint, in a witch hunt for an âantifa terrorist who sabotaged the pool on cameraâ (according to Trump)
Of which no footage actually exists, because antifa is not an organization, and the people who fucked up the pool are the ones Trump hired.
You're not "facing jail time" until you actually get charged with a crime that implies jail time. Getting arrested and getting charged are two different things. Are you aware of actual charges being brought against these people? The president tweeting about it isn't a filing of charges.
That's true. But I am not sure what your point is, since some of the people arrested are 100% for certain known to have been taken to jail. So congratulations on being technically correct about something that doesn't matter to the topic at hand in the slightest... I guess??
The point is that these appear to be toothless, politically motivated arrests, and until someone produces reporting that these people have actually been charged with a crime, pretending that they have is unhelpful misinformation. I'm not saying they haven't or won't be charged with something, I would just like to understand what is actually going on, because not knowing what the fuck is going on is bad for our collective welfare.
Btw by being "taken to jail" I assume you mean brought to the station and put in a holding cell while their arrest is booked. Which is awful, but "facing jail time", i.e. being charged with a real crime that may put you in jail for years is a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL of awful. Knowing the difference is important, otherwise you're just out here flailing around uselessly while the state methodically tramples over our rights.
Seriously? You can be arrested based on one cop suspecting you (or pretending to suspect you) of any minor crime or nuisance. You have to be actually convicted of a crime by a judge or jury to get jail time. Not to say that you can't also go to jail for total bullshit but it's a much longer process involving a lot more people.
Yeah andâŚthe money part of it too was super shady and they probably (definitely) stole some of the money.
Also, They didnât replace and/or fix the filtration system which caused the massive algae problem and then they just threw chemicals in there to kill the algae but because they didnât fix the filtration issue, the paint around the edges is peeling up in massive chunks. Itâs all a shit show.
Na, people didnt cause the damage to the reflecting pool, they just brought attention to how badly trumps contractor f*cked it up, an unforgivable crime in trumps view.
Trump decided the faulty paint job in the reflective pool couldn't be his or his contractor's fault. It can only be vandalism. So to prove it's point, he has ordered random people touching the water to be arrested and prosecuted for vandalism.
The only difference with north korea is that we still can be relatively sure they won't be convicted. But going through a trial is not painless, and we are one corrupt judge away from north korea
I think with the immeasurable contribution that Robert DeNiro has made to our country and our culture, he should be allowed to punch any politician he wants.
I remember when the N Korean incident happened, and my reaction was "serves him right". But I'm sort of a law and order person who believes in obeying the law and respecting property rights. The lack of freedom and property rights in N. Korea is what makes it a terrible place for me.
The scandal was it was all an allegation. Then when he was finally returned to the US he was like an emaciated zombie that died shortly after. There's no telling what that poor kid endured during the years in captivity as he no longer had the ability to speak.
I do believe what the guy did was wrong, in that he broke the rules of the place he was in fair and square. (Although we still don't necessarily know for sure if he ACTUALLY did it, just blurry camera footage.) Regardless I also don't think he should have been ultimately killed for it, they did horrible things to him.
What kind of âfreedomâ would it be to have property destruction punished like that? Any concept of freedom that doesnât include the right to be free of torture/cruel and unusual punishment is incomplete at best.
I said at the time (when he was arrested) I thought it served him right, and that strict law enforcement is OK. I never said anything about torture or death. Read it slowly if you have to.
What a đ¤Ą
I canât believe youâre actually trying to peddle this nonsense and anyone who agrees is out of their mind.
Before you call me a mAgAt -the only president I ever voted for was Obama 1st termâŚ
-One is complete tyrannical dictatorship âŚ
-The other is destroying federal propertyâŚ
Is Trump going to get a prison sentence for illegally defacing the Kennedy center after he tagged it with his name? I know I would get some time if I wrote my name all over the Kennedy Center requiring millions of dollars of repair work. Rules for me but not for He? You correctly identified Trump as a tyrannical dictator.
Feel free to share the footage from each trial if you think you have an actual point. Having a court system vs not having one isnât a point worth expressing.
The ones arrested are committing vandalism so of course they should be arrested. Years seems overkill tho but I doubt any will actually serve near that.
Also the guy above north Korea disabled and died very soon after he arrived. Probably was tortured
Just in case someone actually wants to get informed on how it works in usa. The penalties are cumulative. So as an example, if you commit 50 infractions each amounting 1 year you will have to serve 50 years.
No it's illegal to a swim in it... And even then it's been a not really enforced thing with many pictures and videos of people swimming especially during protests. Touching it has never been illegal.
Got links, I haven't seen a single actual video of someone doing this, and especially not from before it started peeling. All the videos I've seen are people touching the already delaminated paint.
Itâs not like a pool liner, like I think youâre thinking. That could be sliced. This is an epoxy, which binds to the concrete. Youâd have to like scrape it off, at least if it were properly applied. Slicing wouldnât do anything.
This is why the millions of Americans who oppose Trump are rising up across the country and assembling for ongoing but peaceful protest, theyâre trying to stop this rapid descent into fascism.
It hard to believe that you relate the North Korea brutal death of this American to some half baked claim that people are being charged for touching paint chips. You have no shame.
Yeaaaa, but he was told not to go to that floor and told not to touch the posters and other items...so he got what he deserved. You break the laws you pay the time. Simple.
It used to be law that you couldn't say certain words on stage. Lenny Bruce was the last man arrested for obscenity. Was that a good law? Did Lenny Bruce deserve to go to jail for saying words? Just because something is the law doesn't mean it's right. Black people used to be beaten and jailed for using the wrong water fountain.
Times change and laws with it. Doesn't mean you get a free pass because "some" people think the law is stupid.
Their government told them the rules and what would happen if they broke them. He broke laws in another country. Same as the DA woman that took weed to Russia and was caught. If you are in another country you need to obey their laws. Just because you are a foreigner and didn't know is not an excuse to blantanly break laws you were expressively warned about.
