    Yep to all of that.

    It kinda depends, for whatever my opinion is worth. Do you mean that the cops’ response is a common sense response, or that your response is a common sense response, or both? Because if it’s the former, you’re absolutely making excuses for the cops. If it’s the latter, or both, I’m interested in...

    Also, I'm not sure, but I think it's LAPD who did that. Gov Newsom and Mayor Bass have said they do not want outside LEO involved -- which is a major, major reason I fault our President for mobilizing the National Guard and Marines -- but that's not to say that LAPD are necessarily going to do...

    Yes! That's the one! Thanks for finding it. It means something -- to me anyway -- that you'd put in effort to find something supporting anything I said, especially when I couldn't do it myself.

    Yeah, that's right. You ask what I tell you to ask, punk. I thought it was terrible. It completely ignored Israel's right to exist, that Hamas started the (overt) violence this time around, and that it's a really, really complicated situation. If I had a better ear for it, I probably could have...

    That’s weird. First you go back and edit your post after I replied to it, now you’re quoting me for some reason but not actually responding.

    What makes you think I have anythingI’d like to share?

    You’re not being honest with yourself if you’re calling me a coward. Why don’t you ask me what I thought of the pro-Palestine/anti-Israel element at that march I marshaled?

    How is that different from how protests have been conducted in the past? Why do we need the right to protest enshrined in the Constitution if not because protests are inconvenient and disruptive? It’s the same amendment that covers free speech, meaning a public university should support a...

    Not what I thought. I’m gonna pass on engaging you about Palestine based on your post.

    I don’t know how. I saw it on Facebook, embedded from TikTok. I only dared mention it because I was responding to a post where @Mac9192 referenced videos without posting a link. I figured maybe I’d receive similar grace, but I guess not.

    What does that have to do with NIMBY?

    Like most liberal actions if this type, the desire to be a “big tent” muddled the message and made it an unfocused, inarticulate hot mess. I was recruited to marshal under the guise of its being about immigration and deportations. When I got there, it was also about public education, which is...

    Not actively, but saying they were nonviolent because they were cowards? Seriously? I don’t think standing up/sitting down for what you believe is a just cause is cute. That’s condescending. Protests that happen in some out of the way place at a time that’s convenient for everyone are not why...

    I don’t see it.
