This shit ain't right...

I'm not talking about what she's getting arrested for, as much as the fact that the video is the story.

A (so called) peaceful demonstration that obstructs and disrupts the freedom of others, or intimidates others who are not protesting is no longer a peaceful demonstration.

The fake handcuffs goes with the character and dishonesty of leftist who believe that the end justifies the means; anything they do to achieve the power and authority to tell and compel the rest of us what we can and can't do is OK in their minds.

Protest to your heart's desire, but you can't block the doorways and sidewalks and prevent the rest of us from enjoying our freedom.

@Heartlander Oh right, so your "freedom" to walk along a pavement (aka sidewalk) and to enter through a door (those damned doors are at it again) are more important than the freedoms enumerated in your Constitution.

Gotcha👍

@room101

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"

@Heartlander And yet 17 Representatives were arrested whilst exercising all that is expressed in your above reproduction of your First Amendment.

But it's all about pavements and doors😂😂😂
@room101 Blocking access is not exercising First Amendment rights. You must belong to the "mostly peaceful" crowd.

@room101

:) if leftist think they can redefine the 2nd amendment at will, why not the 1st?

It's not "peaceably to assemble" if you block the streets and doorways and try to intimidate and harass others who are trying to exercise their freedom to come and go as they wish. If your beef is with the courts or other governments components, you don't have a right to get in our faces or disrupt our freedom.

@LamontCranston And you clearly belong to the mostly moronic crowd.

@Heartlander Leftists????? Really????

Who was it that arrested elected officials for exercising their constitutional rights?

Come on genius, you posted the thing in its entirety. What bits do you not understand? What bits have (in your warped view) been redefined?
@room101 If no argument, then a slur. Supercilious nincompoop.
The point is that these "democratic socialist" legislators were exceeding their constitutional rights-after receiving warnings which they did not heed. There have been plenty of demonstrations at the Supreme Court without interference. It is highly unlikely that a member of congress would be arrested unless there was reasonable cause that they went beyond demonstrating.
room101 · 51-55, M
@LamontCranston Oh enlightened one, please explain to this poor, supercilious nincompoop what was the "reasonable cause that they went beyond demonstrating".

While you're at it, please explain how they were exceeding their constitutional right to protest. And, what were they being warned about.
@room101 Read the news story.
room101 · 51-55, M
@LamontCranston I have, a number of times. I've even provided links to two news sources that I read.

What have you got..................other than BS talking points punted out by your brain dead propaganda machines.
@room101
Here, Supercilious Nincompoop, are excerpts from news reports.
Capitol Police truly arrested 17 members of the House of Representatives for allegedly violating DC Code § 22–1307, which prohibits people from blocking public roadways. This is a misdemeanor offense that carries a maximum of a $500 fine or 90 days in prison.
Capitol Police wrote on Twitter that officers gave the protesters three warnings about blocking traffic. When the protesters refused to leave, the agency said, officers started making arrests. Aside from Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, the following Democratic lawmakers were arrested: Reps. Cori Bush of Missouri, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania, Carolyn Maloney of New York, Nydia Velazquez of New York, Barbara Lee of California, Jackie Speier of California, Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, Sara Jacobs of California, Andy Levin of Michigan, Alma Adams of North Carolina, Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey, Veronica Escobar of Texas, and Jan Schakowsky of Illinois.
According to the Missouri Independent, Capitol Police issued $50 citations to those arrested. That news outlet reported:
[Protesters] sat down in an intersection in front of the fenced-off Supreme Court building as a U.S. Capitol Police officer warned they were involved in illegal demonstration activity and would be arrested if they didn’t move.

A few minutes later, as lawmakers and protesters chanted in support of abortion rights, U.S. Capitol Police officers began leading them away to a shaded, grassy area nearby where they would be charged with crowding, obstructing or incommoding under District of Columbia law and told they needed to pay a $50 fine.

@LamontCranston So, in your learned opinion, is DC code 22-1307 congruent with the First Amendment of your Constitution?

If not, how and why does it supersede it? Isn't your Constitution supposed to be the bedrock on which your entire legislative and socio-political system rests?
@room101 Here is a suggestion for you, SN. Go stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue, New York with your sign "Bring Back Roe vs Wade" and, if you are not run over, see how long it will take before you are arrested. .
What kind of idiot are you?
room101 · 51-55, M
@LamontCranston So you can't answer my questions and therefore resort to insults. Which is exactly what you did in your first response to this entire discussion. And then cried when I did the same to you.

Here's a suggestion for you snowflake, take your comments and your opinions and shove them up your stinky arse.
@room101 Same to you, Supercilious Nincompoop. I did answer your question in more detail than you deserved.
room101 · 51-55, M
@LamontCranston Nope, you didn't. Not even a little bit.

But hey, it's to be expected from dipshits like you.

Y'al have a nice day now ya hear. Byeeee👋👋👋🖕
@room101 You have been permanently remamed, SN, until you are able to say anything coherent.
Y our stupidity is exceeded only by your vulgarity, SN.
room101 · 51-55, M
@LamontCranston Oh no, I've been permanently renamed😱.........by an ignorant twat no less. What should I do?

Fuck all, I say. Shove it up your arse moron.
@room101 Is SN still going on with his verbal diarrhea?
room101 · 51-55, M
@LamontCranston What's the matter moron, can't you read for yourself? Or are you so deranged that you have conversations with yourself?😂😂😂

@LamontCranston Oh poor lil' bubba, can't handle swear words.

Could you be more pathetic😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@room101 You are beneath pathetic. Your wilful refusal to understand the differnece between free expression and unlawful behavior showed that---recall that was the start of this unseemly display on your part: your escalating attempts to say something yet more offensive. Each time displaying your superciliousness and nincompoop stature.
You are great with the emojis though. You handle thembetter than words.
room101 · 51-55, M
@LamontCranston Define unlawful behaviour in the context of your First Amendment rights.

Oh yeah, you can't. I'll wait for your usual insulting deflection.
