In America we follow the LAW because that’s how DEMOCRACY works something our president could learn. The National Guard hasn’t been used like this in nearly 60 years. It’s only legal if the president is incapacitated, there’s an invasion, or an insurrection. He’s provoking unrest to justify martial law. Peaceful protests turn chaotic, and suddenly he’s the “hero.” Hitler did the same used democracy to kill it from within.
Agreed. Freedom of speech isn’t there to protect popular opinions. If human rights aren’t for everyone, then nobody has them. If we accept the conceit that it’s ok to violate the rights of the “right” groups of people, then we open the door to limitless abuse. Back in the day, nobody would have disagreed that a horse thief (or whatever) should hang. But if you let the local vigilantes get away with “rustlers don’t deserve due process” then before you know it you’ve got the whitecaps running arou
just bc someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they're racist ?? you should read what op had commented as they have good points. How do you determine who's racist? What if you mess up and kill someone you thought was racist but wasn't ? You don't kill people who think bad things, that's authoritarianism
That’s not how the law works. The president doesn’t get to unilaterally order the national guard and marines to break up protests. Btw they are largely peaceful. I also never said I’m opposed to deporting illegal immigrants. I think most people feel the same. But it needs to be done humanly and constitutionally. Not authoritatively like Trump has demonstrated
Obviously if someone is violatently protesting they need to be brought in for questioning. But the vast majority of the protest is not like that. You can watch livestreams. And talk to people who live there instead of going with the mainstream media. Btw one pregnant women has been hospitalized after being ruthlessly detained without due process. Reporters have been shot at directly with rubber bullets. That means they are no longer non lethal. Rubber bullets are supposed to be shot at the groun
I’ve also heard reports that some people have lost an eye but that remains to be confirmed. I heavily recommend learning the actual political inner workings of democracy. The president does not have this authority and this is in fact a constitutional crisis. Again I despise both political parties. I don’t have a political identity that clouds judgement. I look at the facts, And then I analyze them. I HAVE NO SKIN IN THE GAME!
