    The GOP justice fuckers released this decision a day the libs are focused on Trump’s trial. For example - how much airtime will this horrible decision get on MSNBC today? MNSBC’s biggest story (by far?) will be pointless minutiae about jury selection in Trump’s NYC case.

    The facts of the Mckesson case are, unfortunately, quite tragic. Mckesson helped organize the Baton Rouge protest following the fatal police shooting of Alton Sterling. During that protest, an unknown individual threw a rock or similar object at a police officer, the plaintiff in the Mckesson case who is identified only as “Officer John Doe.” Sadly, the officer was struck in the face and, according to one court, suffered “injuries to his teeth, jaw, brain, and head.”

    Hmmm, yes. Tragic. jagoff

      But Russia!

      Not even joking. Our (Russian) pro-western libs always make a big deal about “right to protest”. Used to have big gatherings on 31st of some month (because right to assembly is 31st article of the constitution, AFAIK). That got wrapped up eventually. More recently we had people posing with empty sheets of paper in front of cameras, usually next to some important building (i.e. next to kremlin on the red square). And when those people eventually got bagged by cops (which arguably was the point of these performances) they would soapbox about how this doesn’t happen in le free and enlightened democratic West.

      So yeah. I’m gonna be laughing all the way.

    Definitely not Fedposting or calling for violence. Simply thinking about the state of our Constitutional Rights

    I think that about does it for the 1st Amendment. Good thing the 2nd is so well protected down there…

    Well, if they can just hold you criminally liable if they just feel like it’s a violent protest, even if it came from one person, why shouldn’t all protests just do massive amounts of violence there? It’ll be the same punishment.
