If They Can Arrest Don Lemon For Something As Simple As Breaking The Law, Imagine What They Can Do To You

America woke up this morning to the chilling news that journalist Don Lemon had been arrested by the Department of Justice, sending a terrifying message that if you break the law, you too might also be arrested and face the strong arm of totalitarianism.

If they can come for someone as legitimate and professional as the revered Don Lemon, a man who is both gay and black, just imagine what they can do to you if you break the law. Arrest? Due process? A fair trial? These are all signs of an authoritarian regime running unchecked into fascism.

Lemon was clearly exercising his First Amendment rights when he burst into a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, last week and yelled at worshippers despite being asked to leave. We all know the First Amendment supersedes trespassing laws and the FACE Act, and if Lemon can get arrested for something as simple as breaking multiple laws, imagine what the authorities can do to you if you do something similar.

So be on the lookout, because the only thing that was standing between your law-breaking activities and being held accountable was Mr. Don Lemon. Now he's out of the way. They're coming for you next.

If you break the law.

I think he was trying to carry out his professional duties as an independent journalist . .

@carpediem If I were a journalist, teacher, public lawyer, tax investigator, or a practitioner of any other professional likely to irritate the thin-skinned president, I would be worried . . that does not mean I have broken the law though.

@SunshineGirl Why would you be worried?

Of course you can be arrested at any time. It will only be conclusively known if you have broken the law when you have been to court and the case is presented, defended and judged (and possibly appealed).

@FreddieUK yep and arrest is the necessary first step in the process
wunderluv · 56-60, M
The last time I checked arrest is the natural consequence of breaking the law.. it’s in the word “arrest” which means to stop someone .. DUH!! lol
Basic language comprehension would be helpful for you .. maybe a grade 4 vocabulary refresher would help? But not if you’re willfully ignorant.. sadly, nuthin’ can cure that. 🙄

@wunderluv One always hopes that it's not a whim of someone who doesn't like the arrestee, but you are right, the arresting authority should have good evidence before acting. The trouble is, often we are making our personal judgements on partial evidence and without legal training.
wunderluv · 56-60, M
@FreddieUK arrests are sometimes made in order to cool a heated situation like one that can lead to a violent event before an agitated individual actually crosses serious llegal lines and I see this as justified as harm reduction so that a person doesn’t ruin their whole life over a moment in time. So in effect the officer is doing such a person a favor by arresting them and letting the courts or other intervening prosecutor review to dismiss them from custody

@wunderluv I have seen that happen and I agree, that is a helpful thing. However, the police in the UK can be sued for unlawful arrest so they will need some law to support the arrest, perhaps something like causing a breech of the peace. They don't have to proceed to prosecution.
Don't do it Don...leave the soap on the floor


Whoops

@BizSuitStacy An interesting thought process. You have in your own mind tried, convicted and jailed a man for as yet unspecified charges. Now you appear to be advocating illegal sexual violence against him.

I wonder why DOJ instead of regular police?
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@fun4us2b Regular police are afraid of the people they "protect"

So many here are opining from a place of ignorance of law and because their emotions are constantly being manipulated by the media and especially by terribly biased media source with a definite agenda to stir people up. There is no legal clarity with so many of you all.
Time to get some “adult-ing” it’s pathetic that this bastardized word has a reason to exist) or maybe some (adult-ing) will be delivered like it or not à la FAFO!
Was a CNN news crew given a heads up like the Biden DOJ probably did on a number of arrests it made?
Lemkn should not be discussed. It only feeds his arrogance.
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
@soar2newhighs I thought he no longer worked for CNN. In which case, why would they get a 'heads up'?
Now they gotta put their attention and focus on defending Don Lemon..

Whilst they focus on Fulton election fraud.
While they focus on Minnesota fraud
While they focus on arctic frost
While they focus on Covid scam defence
While they focus on doge fraud.

Dems don’t know if they’re Arthur or Martha right now..

Let the GOAT Don cook 🍿
