Peaceful Protests

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

A meaningless ruling, but I am glad it makes the left feel better. The key is "peaceful protest".

Well, meaningless only because jackboots of the current administration* encourage and support ignoring court orders, laws, and the Constitution.

What would be your personal definition/explanation of a "peaceful protest', regardless of what a court might say?

The judge's ruling makes it clear that ICE jackboots have been using ILLEGAL tactics against peaceful protesters. Why does this befuddle SoupySales?

A great example of peaceful protests would be the civil rights protests of the 1960's.

Any physical or verbal attacks/allegations would not be considered peaceful.

Yeah, how things change in 60 years. In 1965, it took three tries for the Montgomery march to get over the Selma Pettus bridge, finally accomplished with federal law enforcement protection. Now it's the feds that are doing the violence.

But as much violence as the protestors faced then, mostly by local or state cops even those (some) Klan members didn't shoot unarmed protesters point blank.

Illegal immigrant Jose Antonio Ibarra murders nursing student Laken Riley. Prosecutors had described the murder as a crime of opportunity where Ibarra attacked Riley, hitting her in the head with a rock and asphyxiating her, after she resisted his attempts to rape her.

DHS says anti-ICE agitators helped child rapist, gang members evade deportation

According to DHS, members of the anti-ICE Colorado Rapid Response Network alerted Jose Reyes Leon-Deras, a convicted child rapist, of ICE's presence on June 20, 2025. A Facebook post by the anti-ICE group accused by DHS of helping with Leon-Deras' evasion on June 20, indicates members affiliated with the anti-ICE group used a bullhorn that day to alert potential targets of ICE.

In a separate situation in Minneapolis, an apartment manager allegedly prevented federal immigration agents from entering a building where a criminal foreign national from Somalia, convicted of violent sex crimes and previously arrested for a high-level assault, was located.

DHS accused the apartment manager of actively protecting a sex offender, Mahad Abdulkadir Yusuf, who had a conviction for criminal sexual conduct in the first degree. He allegedly forcibly compelled his victim to perform sex acts on him on multiple occasions.

Another child sex offender, Jozias Natanael Carmona-Pena, was allegedly assisted by not only agitators but sanctuary city leaders in Minneapolis, according to DHS.

Carmona-Pena had pending charges for lewd and lascivious acts with a child, but he was released onto the streets of Minneapolis after local law enforcement allegedly denied ICE's detainer request that Carmona-Pena be held until they could pick him up for immigration violations, according to the Trump administration.

When federal officials sought to arrest Carmona-Pena Dec. 10, agitators allegedly swarmed immigration officials and obstructed their attempts to arrest the illegal alien accused of child sex crimes, including by ramming one of their cars into an ICE vehicle.

Sure is funny how some fools still believe what ICE says about anything. Citing an ICE statement from Fox News is like lying to the second power. But you just can't fix stupid.

Yeah, it's sad those two white liberals lost their lives interfering with ICE. Fox News probably reported that too.

:thumbup: They got shamed by the Alex Pretti statements and coverage, and still learned nothing from the videos.

Have future agitators learned not to fight with ICE agents while carrying a gun? Probably not.
