J6ers Wishing They Had Thought Of Branding Themselves 'Legal Observers'

Protestors involved in the actions on January 6th, 2021 admit they wish they had just labeled themselves as "legal observers" and avoided all the arrests and stuff.

"That's such a good idea!" Jacob Paulson told friends. "It seems like if you say you're just there as a ‘legal observer, ' the democrats will let you do whatever you want. I bet Nancy Pelosi would have just let that guy take her lectern if he had just called himself a ‘legal observer.' What were we thinking?"

Following weeks of unrest in Minnesota, many self-proclaimed ‘legal observers' have been arrested for blocking ICE operations, assaulting law enforcement, and generally obstructing justice. Democrats hail the protests as just and virtuous and remind protestors they just have to call themselves ‘legal observers,' and they can do anything they want.

Many people who were arrested on January 6th realized they should have called themselves ‘legal observers' so democrats would have supported their efforts. "It's so obvious, why didn't I think of that before!" Paulson remarked.

"I'm a legal observer! Now hand me that Molotov cocktail, I'm gonna yeet it at some of these Nazi ICE agents," one observer told a friend.

At publishing time, January 6th protestors also wish they had remembered to ask if someone would pay them to protest, as they did all their stuff for free, and everyone in Minnesota right now seems to be on George Soros's payroll.

They didn't need the Democrats support or any excuses. Trump released them all anyway.

@FreddieUK So you are opposed to "mostly peaceful protesters" exercising their 1st Amendment rights?

FreddieUK · 70-79, M

@sunsporter1649 No, but I was talking about Jan6th

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@FreddieUK J6 was a mostly peaceful demonstration until a cop murdered a protester

FreddieUK · 70-79, M

@sunsporter1649 Yeah. It was so peaceful it was on worldwide TV. I watched it live.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@FreddieUK Exactly the same as what is happening in minnesota, today, on live tv

FreddieUK · 70-79, M

@sunsporter1649 You're right in that there are masked men crashing into a peaceful place, but they are working for the government this time not trying to overthrow it. I'm not sure whether you approve of both or neither.

@sunsporter1649 Swerve.

@FreddieUK After they were illegally imprisoned as political prisoners. The psychological damage is irreparable and those responsible deserve jail time. This is not the UK, people's rights are protected.

FreddieUK · 70-79, M

@TexChik Thank you for your take on whjat I saw.

Fortunately I have protection too under the Human Rights Act, so no need to worry about us.

TexChik · F

@FreddieUK Ha! Go post the wrong thing on facebook and see how protected you are

FreddieUK · 70-79, M

@TexChik No problem. That's just a myth put about. As long as you don't threaten violence, you can say what you want. I assume in the US if I wrote that I was coming for the President and needed a mob to help me that would be ok?

TexChik · F

@FreddieUK no myth. The US is pulling away from Europe and the EU because countries like the UK openly censor their citizens who disagree with their policies. They even threatened Americans with jail if they dare to come to the UK because of things they have posted on social media. As a result there is an ever-growing list of foreign officials who are now banned from coming to the US ( by the State Department ) for daring to attempt to take Americans' right of free speech away. That's no myth either.

@TexChik

Who?

@TexChik I'm sorry, but you just like making up easy insults and untruths because it suits your agenda. You're not able to answer my question as to who was stopped coming to the UK because of the things they posted on social media. Instead you've gone for a couple of insults. Once again, I have to decide that you're not a serious debater so I'm going to stop now.

@FreddieUK London's Metropolitan Police chief warned that officials will not only be cracking down on British citizens for commentary on the riots in the U.K., but on American citizens as well.

"We will throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you," Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told Sky News.

One key aspect that makes this apparent crackdown on social media particularly shocking to critics is that the British government is threatening to extradite American citizens from the U.S. to be jailed in the U.K. for violating their rules about political speech online.

FreddieUK · 70-79, M

@sunsporter1649 Wrong. There are no laws about political speech and none are mentioned in your quotation. It is simply about law breaking. For example, someone aiding, abetting or encouraging child abuse online would be breaking UK law if that was available in the UK. That is an example. Another might be someone planning, encouraging or threatening death to an individual (whatever their political beliefs) would also be breaking the law.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@FreddieUK So you agree that your police will be coming after foreign citizens to be extridited by UK police for posting online breaking UK laws that not against the laws of the country the posters reside, eh

FreddieUK · 70-79, M

@sunsporter1649 Loaded question. I refer you to my previous answer. There could be no seeking of extradition for purely political speech, but if you try to defraud me from your country online, expect a prosecution. If you encourage a child to commit suicide from your country online you would not be safe. The same is true for UK citizens who break US laws online, I'm sure.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@FreddieUK So the UK police will only be coming against folks posting from the USA, folks in other countries are free to post whatever the want, eh

FreddieUK · 70-79, M

@sunsporter1649 No. But we have strong reciprocal extradition agreements with the US and you seem most interested in that, understandably.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@FreddieUK So you are interested on imposing your form of the law on the people of all nations, eh

FreddieUK · 70-79, M

@sunsporter1649 You're working hard on this. I have no personal desire to impose our form of law on other nations. It is rather JD Vance and your President chastising everyone else for not having the same laws as you. Online is the issue. You don't want your laws upset by other countries: it works both ways. If you were to ask me about Russia or China, I would give a more nuanced answer.
