IMO the apology should be written in blood, but I guess we'll get him on the back end when we hang the child traffickers.
Don't forget he's a professional actor.
Tbh I thought it was a lot of theater. The judge seemed to me like a typical liberal judge. Sometimes these people tell a guy, "hey you're going to get a slap on the wrist and we all are going to pretend not to be happy about it." The judge talked about Jussie's rough upbringing because he's black (his father is Jewish though) and how that influenced his poor decisions. When the judge started listing the offenses you knew Jussie was not getting the prison time any objective person anywhere would think he deserved.
The lawyers and the judge made the very best case they could that he should not go to prison and had not done anything really serious, so that when the judge handed down his super-light sentence it would seem like it was done to appease us. But I guarantee when he gets out of jail (not prison) every celebrity will be talking about how he "made his mistakes but he did his time." and they will immediately pump him up as a star again. Because Hollywood takes care of their own. That's all that happened here.
Honestly, if I robbed a liquor store to feed my family, even if I used a fake gun and didn't hurt anyone, and stopped to help an old lady who had tripped on my way out, I would probably get 1-2 years for my first offense.
Ultimately Jussie's gay and black privilege here got him a pass for having a "tough upbringing", and he was given an ultra-light sentence for it. Imo his crime was as serious as murder, if not moreso.
What is the craziest thing that could happen?
Don't forget the doctors and nurses
I don't know this Michael Knowles but I like him. However, the cop was the real unsung hero here. That guy's still getting shit from these people on campus every single day. Nice to see one cop do one purely good thing for once.
That was literally the whole ANTIFA group at the college.
Q. Because even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Not saying you're wrong, but can you state in one or two sentences what this all is proof of?
It's clear that we have fallen off-course and we need Trump now.
Fuck Putin, he's only following his own interests and he doesn't care about us. If WW3 pops off I wouldn't count on him being on our side.
I've yet to hear any credible news that Russia is returning to a gold standard. I've only heard that from anons here, seemingly based on misinterpretation of an article that announced Russians were now allowed to buy gold without a 20% tax. That's not exactly the same as Russia abolishing the Ruble. People are putting 3 and 2 together and getting 4.
Why would Russia abolish the Ruble?
Yes, it's the only document in the world that says man's rights are God-given. Without that this world we live in only has "privileges" allocated by elites who want to manage and eventually kill you. Taking the big picture here, if the US falls so will our constitution.
Ok let's see what comes from all of this then.
Hiding from evil is not always enough, sometimes you have to challenge it, even if only with peaceful protest. I thought that was what they were trying to do.
You say here that I'm a "provocacteur" for wanting violence. I never said I wanted violence. What I actually (very clearly) said was that people should protest legally. You're just making shit up.
All you are doing is spreading the same fear (don't protest or you could be arrested). If it's your god-given right but you don't do it because you're afraid they might arrest you anyway, then you are simply handing your rights away. Use it or lose it, that was the whole damn point of the convoy. You have already thrown in the towel. Obviously the DC convoy is meaningless without going into DC or protesting. I don't believe that's what the members wanted (though I can't speak for them) and I suspect we will be hearing from some of them when this is all over, about how the guy handling the money ruined the whole thing by dictating that free speech and protest were not to be part of the plan.
If people don't even exercise their legal rights then the government doesn't need to violate our rights and deal with the social and government changes that could eventually result from that, because people are so afraid of them that they don't even speak up (welcome to Communism).
That's a fantasy and clearly not what they (or the leadership, rather) intend.
Their plan is to stay outside of DC and drive around for an increasing amount of time each day until they are out of money. The guy who is in charge of the money has apparently made that decision. He said at one point they may even go somewhere else and drive around. (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAHXRAOlQDo)
Ultimately driving around accomplishes -zero-. It is uncomfortable, drains funds rapidly, prevents people from communing, and prevents them from actually protesting. I thought the point was to go to DC and protest indefinitely, but this has become more of a truck parade/road trip from what I can tell.
They don't want to get arrested. Imo they should just go to DC, park, and legally protest indefinitely.
yeah that's not the plan here, in fact they are doing the opposite of tightening their belts. They seem to have been taken over by a probable fed who has decided apparently that they will be driving in circles around the beltway X number of times per day, with X increasing daily. So they are not blocking off anything. Literally their entire plan is to burn a million dollars a day in gas until it's gone, and not really protest.
Doesn't sound like they have any such plan. They have a leader who is dictating their movements and his plan is to drive around the beltway a couple times. Then the next day they will do it more times. And then more the next day. Apparently they plan to do this until they are out of funds. And they might go to other locations at some point . The guy makes it super-clear that the convoy's only purpose is to "show how many of us there are" which is not really the same as change and reminds me of a pride parade. And he constantly tells people not to actually go anywhere (like DC, where the convoy was supposed to be headed in the first place) or do anything (like legally protest) because it might provoke the police and they could end up in jail.
The difference is that J6 actually involved crimes (not saying they were wrong or that it was a big deal, or even that they "should" have been arrested), whereas protesting is not a crime at all in this country (in fact it's a God-given right). In fact, people protest in DC all the time and don't get arrested for it.
How is wasting a million dollars a day in gas by driving in a circle (and increasing the frequency each day), and doing this in different locations (but not any important one or the one that literally everyone thought they were going to) going to produce any change on vaccine mandates (or whatever this is about; I'm not really sure because all the guy in the video says on the matter is that the purpose is to "show them how many of us there are" or something like that).
I honestly think that guy is a fed. He keeps telling people not to do anything (legal) to provoke the police, don't go into DC because we don't want to get arrested, etc. I see him constantly controlling the narrative and making high-level decisions that turn the convoy into nothing but a super-expensive road trip. Constantly spreading fear about people exercising their legal rights. I doubt this is what many of the convoy intended, maybe that is why he gets booed by someone near the beginning. Why did they drive across the entire country to DC only to not even enter it?
The Canada convoy went into Ottawa and parked. These guys aren't even going to go into DC at all, much less protest.
Well, you've got this guy leading the thing that keeps every 5 minutes warning people to do literally nothing but keep driving (expensive/drains funds and doesn't do anything but jam up traffic and piss off normies), don't act up or piss anyone off because it might provoke action by the cops, make sure to stay in the designated lane, "if you don't like it this is not the convoy for you", etc. "I hope nobody goes 'home running' into town because they will be stopped, and they will end up in jail." He says that the sole purpose of the convoy is to "show people how many of us there are" or something like that. He talks about all these people are covering the thing and there's all this (social/)media coverage, and it sort of sounds like he's involved in facilitating that, but I haven't really been seeing a lot of this coverage.
Near the beginning it sounded like someone was booing, and I thought, "what a dick". But then the guy was talking about some other lady who was (it seemed to me) a leader, and informing people that she had "left to visit family" or something like that. I wonder what that family emergency was, or if there is more to that story. It seems like others in the convoy had been asking questions and were concerned. If she left for a family emergency, why didn't she speak to the convoy about it herself (not blaming her but just saying there might be more to the story there).
What the Canadians did was passive but disruptive. They very efficiently went somewhere and parked to protest, and the funds they received went toward things like food. If they don't park and protest indefinitely then this is just one of thousands of minor protests that will do nothing and get minimal coverage for it.
This guy is actually telling people not to do legal things so they don't get arrested. If the convoy can't even exercise its legal right to protest, how is that supposed to produce any change at all? I'm not out there so I can't judge anyone for how they decide to do things, and for sure I understand that it doesn't help for anyone to go to jail.
I don't see how this convoy is supposed to produce serious change if all they do is drive. It is exhausting, uncomfortable, and demoralizing, and time spent perpetually on the road is time that the people who actually came out to protest can't even "be together" (in fellowship), form an internal community, or protest. They already get only minimal coverage. How long can that situation last? I'm not sure but I think near the beginning he discussed the possibility of going to other locations to be potentially discussed later, but that only makes them less effective because if they just spend a day here and a day there, and they never enter any key locations, then they are just minimizing the impact in any particular location, and draining funds. He says, "we're going to make 2 rounds today and then we're going to increase the frequency (!)". I don't think that's why some of these people came out, but maybe I'm wrong. I thought they were trying to do something like what they did in Canada (legally protest vaccine mandates), even at the possible cost of provoking a reaction. I didn't hear a word of that in this video. If they are already voluntarily waiving their right to protest then what exactly is the purpose of this convoy? I'm seriously asking, why are people there? What are they protesting and what are they trying to achieve? I'm not sure I know anymore.
Haven't been in a lot of jails so can't rank them, but I guess we'll see within 180 days.
