ben9753 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 @Motown Bombers you’ve revealed a new category of people to me here. The anti-anti Hamasers. As insufferable as the anti-anti Trumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben9753 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Anti anti Trumpers won’t come out and say they support Trump, but are quick to defend him whenever he’s criticized. They aren’t Pro Trump, but anti those that are against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfife Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Many if not most people charged try to get the charged removed. It's not two tier justice, it's how the system works for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 In some cases it's just not worth it for the system to process. My son was arrested in 2020 during the BLM protests. A whole bunch of them were zip tied and kept in the LCA parking garage then moved to a precinct. I was following his movements via find my iphone. They were just grabbing people and holding them because of a curfew, half his group "got away" and word got to us he was arrested. I was more worried about where my car was since he took it down there. He had to do an online arraignment but somewhere along the way all the charges were dropped. This was also during the pandemic so.... priorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most charges against students at University of Texas were dropped to, I believe the article I read said 57 students had the charges dropped.

ewsieg Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Makes sense, It's much more important when you have a view you care about so passionately, that you only share with like minded individuals and avoid anyone else, especially those that could actually present that view to a larger audience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why my position on this has evolved somewhat. Meaning I see a lot of the protests now as just the bright new shiny object for young people and they really do not understand all the history of this conflict. They are being used by people with many agendas, including anti semitism. Nate Silver is getting roasted now for a tweet last night, I'm all for him getting roasted, but in this case I agree with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.TaterSalad Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I'm beginning to lose respect for some protestors on the Palestinian side based on some troubling things I have seen at some of these protests. One of those things is this idea that a State of Israel shouldn't even exist at all. Now, I've been all in favor of Israeli settlements being curtailed or stopped all together. I've been in favor of Palestinians getting swaths of land that was stolen back. I've been in favor of a real, genuine, two-state solution. But one thing I am not in favor of, is Israel just ceasing to exist as a nation state. That's why I do get troubled when I hear chants of "from the river to the sea" from westerners in America. Just a thought on that note, if you believe Israel stole land from Palestinian people and shouldn't exist as a nation state, shouldn't you yourself then do research as to what indigenous tribe once inhabited the land where your home is now? And shouldn't you return to whatever Euro-Asian country your ancestors came from and winningly give their land back to native and indigenous people whose tribes may have once inhabited that land?

I heard an interview from a democrat that is running against Wasserman-Schultz in her primary that "from the river to the sea" was first said by some right wing party in Israel, so therefore you 'need to learn your history' before you claim it's used by Palestinians/pro-palestine folks in a disparaging way. Can't believe I now have to root for Wasserman-Schultz....this world is so messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
