  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

They can be according to the law. Spontanous protest and uncivil protestors are illegal.
When the protests are pre planned, arranged and permitted (like the No Kings) protesters get accused of being illegitimate and working for dark monied interests behind the protests. People spontaneously reacting to what’s happening are labeled domestic terrorists and rioters.

It seems the only acceptable form of protest is to riot at the Capitol for Donald Trump.

If it's not otherwise breaking a law (disturbing the peace, disrupting traffic),
True, but that's not what is happening now at ICE operation sites. Can you tell me if there were any illegal acts done by the protestors against ICE in MN?
We do not need a permit to exercise the First Amendment rights of speech and assembly.
No, you don't, but when it infringes on my civil rights and other it's no longer legal.

There are credible reports of some protestors committing crimes: throwing objects or fireworks at ICE, and the destruction of a vehicle.
