Barr Tells Prosecutors to Consider Charging Violent Protesters With Sedition

[Clizby WampusCat]

Were those ranchers who took over a federal building in Oregon or Nevada or somewhere to protest the government stopping them from grazing their cattle on federal land, plus all their supporters who sent them food, money, etc. ever charged with sedition?

Because if they weren't, there's no hope a bunch of rioters will ever be...

I have no idea. I don't see how that is relevant.

That's what these people want too. However, I'm not sure that there's any clause in this argument for the moral purity of the protest. There's nothing in your history that suggest someone somewhere gets to make a legal call on what protests are OK, and which ones are felonies. Like I said, that's totalitarianism.

Truth about it is Im burnt out at the moment. I haven't been putting forth much effort.

I don't think things can be explained for some without hindsight. Some things are just going to have to come to pass in order to explain themselves. Only at that time will what some have forewarned make sense.

There is an ongoing coup in America. The questions being posed is how did these coordinated riots play out concerning that coup. This is a first in America. Unprecedented in this country. But plenty of examples in history demonstrate coordinated upheaval. Intentionally set fires. Social unrest. Etc, all utilized as a tool during a political coup.

I believe this is an attempt to see if those intentions exist, and the actions are linked.

"democrats" as a pejorative.

That would be overactive sensibilities becoming easily offended, I would imagine. I call people Reps all the time also. Sometimes I just don't feel like typing.

Trump and Barr should both be tried for sedition.

Trump was impeached, and will have been impeached... forever......

You can take solace in that achievement as the pinnacle of the anti Trump movement. Because that was the furthest it is ever going to go. The absolute peak.

Trump has other justice waiting for him. A person cannot have a life based on lies, deception, and fraud , and not face severe consequences for it.

There were also the blue waves in the mid-terms. You know, minor things like getting a Democratic senator elected in Alabama, for example.

Plus Donald was defeated in his attempts to repeal Obamacare, build a wall, and so on. Not to mention all of Donald's employees who ended up going to jail.

Well, there you go... you got something. Congrats. Enjoy it.

So your response to Barr telling prosecutors to charge rioters with sedition… is Catholicism?

Probably just flat authoritarianism. Barr doesn't like to have his newly gained power or agenda challenged.

This thread had a clean up. There were complaints of snark and flaming.

Keep it civil and on topic. ​

That makes no sense. Once again you are accusing a part of the government of trying to over throw itself, and secondly how much of a slow burn is this "ongoing coup"? 3 years? 4 years? That's not how coups work

"coup" has been redefined as not walking in lockstep with the government.

All countries except dictatorships are in a permanent state of coup.

It seems the constitutional, democratic process is now a coup. If he is voted out in November, folks will state a full-fledged coup occurred rather than a democratic election.
