what is the charge? interrupting a meal? a succulent chinese meal?
- ~~chinese~~ burger meal
- They criticized/disagreed with him and it hurt is fee fees.
  Because they are all the real snowflakes.
these people are so volatile and fragile, bless their pedophile hearts
Un. Fucking. Believable.
Id expect nothing less from a man who dogged a draft by faking bone spurs and who’s only able to be an alpha when he’s raping innocent young children.
Pathetic.
We tried to tell y’all that the RICO prosecution attempt against Cop City protestors was a test and attempt at setting precedent.
This is going to be the golden age of jury nullification.
- It already is, there's been a shocking and historically unprecedented number of grand jury "no bill"s recently in DC and LA when prosecutors try to indict random protestors with felonies, which is incredible since those are basically unheard of.
  
  I also watched legal eagle
  
  Yes. I think people are wise to the fact that the simple potential of facing charges is the threat that is supposed to intimidate and suppress opposition. Tying someone's life up in a trial that has no chance of seeing a guilty verdict is the actual punishment they are aiming for because they know they have no legal standing.
  
  its also performative to satiate the republican masses, to look "strong".
- Its not even jury nullifcation, its grand jury nullifcation in many cases.
  
  jury of your peers is a jury of your peers, i don't care how they nullify unjust charges
  
  The petit jury nullification is coming. You've got defendants in DC insisting on their speedy trial rights because they want to get themselves on front of a jury right now in the present moment.
Protestors need to know how to contact their local ACLU. If you're doing this level of protest, probably should preemptively havea contact with them and memorize the contact phone number
- There are legal services you can subscribe to that give you a phone number to call if you get arrested and they'll send out a lawyer. The one I have is $300 a year.
  
  PREACH! Mine is $26 a month and well worth it. I can get a lawyer on the phone within an hour for any trivial question or thing I need to investigate.
  For those not in the know, it's basically legal insurance. Many services are free, EOL docs and such. I believe they'll draft a letter for free as well, haven't tried that. For actual litigation you get 30% off, which is significant.
  My divorce lawyer was fucking awful. My child custody lawyer, Jesus, he put a stick on my ex-wife and mopped the courtroom floor with her dumb ass.
- Also National Lawyers Guild. Write their phone number on your arm in sharpie before protests
- The ACLU will probably be charged alongside any protesters anyway, just to eliminate using them for legal counsel under the guise of "because I said so" and Judge Cannon et al will just accept it
  
  Last time I checked the constitution is still in effect
  Don't be intimidated by the Trump administration. That only does them a favor.
It's fucking hilarious that this fat oaf is acting the way he says the libs act: that is, someone with their fee fees hurt. Fuck dumpy.
- Every accusation from a conservative/fascist is a confession. Every. Single. Time.
Aaww. The tough guy is really just a widdle pussy.
The GOP needs to pass emergency legislation - Immediate life sentences without trial for anyone that hurts Trump's dainty little feelings.
After years of saying "Fuck your feelings" to "snowflake" liberals, Maga and Trump keep proving themselves to be the most delicate little snowflakes on the planet. Every fucking thing the GQP and Maga says is projection.
Distraction
Release the Epstein files!
Harden the fuck up, Donald.
the same todd blanche giving GHISLAINE maxwell a mysterious box and thenmoving her to a low-security prison.
Department of clowns
Oh FUCK this guy. FUCK HIM
Johnny Rico?!??
- No, Rico Suave
I wish the irony of him proving the protesters right by doing this wasn't completely lost on that dumbfuck.
Bloody cray cray.
