So, the conservative business owners all over the country who had their businesses destroyed during the Floyd "protests" - I wonder if they could discern the nuances between protesting vs harassment.
Yes @gator_lawyer is a highly distinguished and serious professional. We should all listen and obey without question. Solid rule of thumb, anybody who needs to point out that they are smarter than everyone else to prove a point is not smarter than everybody else. Either that or they're too lazy to actually prove anything. It's always "I'm the expert, listen and obey."
Lol... and she thinks that the NWO/commies will put her in a high ranking position? LMFAO! Well the exclusive commies in the NWO will need experienced bartenders...
Why would conservative business owners feel differently about their destroyed businesses than "liberal" business owners? Alas, more partisan dipshittery (ie "1990ing"). Since very simple words seem to confuse you, here are definitions from the internet of words you commonly interchange to make your typically fallacious points. You can thank me later. Harassment is any unwanted behavior, physical or verbal (or even suggested), that makes a reasonable person feel uncomfortable, humiliated, or mentally distressed. Protest is an event in which people gather to show disapproval of something. A riot is an expression of dissatisfaction characterized by violence, vandalism, theft as well as the destruction of public or private property. I suggest you bookmark this for future use.
Is it telling that this poster utilizes protester as rioter? Starts to smack of authoritarian right off the bat, I think. Amazing that poster intimates that only con businesses were affected.
Biased reporting aside (seriously, the first sentence in each piece engenders blatant bias), I will admit that AOC went over the top in her Tweets shown in the Fox News piece. She's def out on the fringe afaiac, with respect to these communications.
The post I was replying to specifically noted "right wing" so I noted right wing businesses, if the reply stated that both right wing and left wing people, then I would have noted both right wing and left wing business owners.
And that's really all I needed to show. I didn't need to show lack of bias from the New York Post or Fox News.
Where did Morton's reps say the protesters were inside the restaurant? As for totally different building, the House Cannon Office Building is directly adjacent to the Capitol. I imagine the rioters were very near that building and had they known she was there, would have set siege.
So now your calling those "Peaceful protests" after the Floyd episode riots? Took a while - I guess we can call that evolution "pkaib01ing"
They never went in the restaurant. Kavanaugh even left out the back so they didn't even have to go out the front where they were.
I think people following you around, people issuing bounties for people to find your location, people basically demanding that restaurants don't serve you from outside the restaurant while you're eating there, and yelling at you outside your house would make a reasonable person both uncomfortable and mentally distressed.
Under these factors, you would consider Texas's abortion law legalized harassment then? Because those are all things it empowers people to do vis a vis people who seek abortions or even aid others in obtaining them. And the courts ruled a long time ago that "protesting"/"harassing" people outside an abortion clinic was perfectly legal (are you sure this isnt the world anti-abortion conservatives made).
Protesting abortions outside an abortion clinic (without any additional information) isn't harassment any more than an animal rights group protesting meat-eating outside a steakhouse. But that's not what happened with Kavanaugh. They followed Kavanaugh, paid people to follow Kavanaugh to his home and to a restaurant. This would be a very different situation if it was just an animal rights group protesting meat-eating and Kavanaugh just happened to be there. While irritating, and not necessarily always okay in either the abortion case, or the animal rights case, it is much more likely to be legal and socially acceptable.
You don't think anti-abortion groups pay people to show up outside abortion clinics or get information on people considering abortions (so they can be steered to "crisis pregnancy centers")? Follow people from/to their cars? There are people that volunteer to escort them for a reason! Seems like they are simply adopting the tactics of anti-abortion people. Normally I would disapprove of that sort of thing, but the anti-abortion people's lack of principles have given me a reason not to care anymore.
Here's the thing, I still care... I care for anybody who doesn't condone this sort of harassment to people on the other side of the aisle. Following people to and from their car is excessive. That is wrong. I condemn that, unless the person who is being followed has shown that they accept harassment when the shoe is on the other foot.
