The Beatings Will Continue
By Mitch Berg
Ever noticed how it’s one, and only one, side of our political debate that gets to block freeways and run riot with impunity, or functionally close to it?
My favorite example – when the gang of droogs pulled over the statue of Christopher Columbus on the Minnesota state capitol mall in 2020, no arrests were made (even though it happened with a squad of Highway Patrol were standing right there). Eventually, one “ringleader” surrendered – and was “sentenced” to…
…teach children about the evils of Christopher Columbus.
Of course, no conservative who pulled down the statue of authoritarian socialist scumbag Floyd Olson would expect not to do serious jail time – because there are two justice systems in Minnesota. One for the far left and those they favor, and one for the rest of us.
Imagine Pro-Life Action MInistries trying to block a road? There’d be water cannon and attack dogs, and the media would be busy covering the new all-womens-sports bar as they carted the injured protesters off to jail.
But the favored classes?
And sympathizers with Big Left’s favorite fascists?
Why, it’s almost like they want regular schmucks to be afraid to go about their day, or poke their heads up where radar can see them.
More later this week.

To be honest that Chicago video looks like the freeway every time I’ve ever been to Chicago. At the end, it looks like it’s being taken from a limo – like to know more about that.
That NYC tweet is kinda funny. It is implied by the tweet (Amidst Numerous Fights Between Pro-Palestine Protesters and Police at a Large Protest) that the protesters are simply looking for a fight. There were apparently no counter-protesters; just the pro-Palestinians and police. And yet violence broke out.

Uni-directional “mostly peaceful protests” are allowed to continue because liberal lawyers convinced liberal judges that the First Amendment protects actions as well as speech. OK, giving someone the finger conveys the same message as saying the words out loud so I can see that point. But they go too far.
Illegal actions can’t be protected by the First Amendment. That way lies anarchy. There’s no First Amendment right to block a freeway, to glue yourself to a priceless masterpiece, or to throw acid in someone’s face. Because if there is, I’m going trolling on the lake to snag some of those long lost firearms to exercise my First Amendment right to protest their protest with superior firepower. Let’s see how they like them apples.

They need truncheon therapy.
Or: re-read chapter 12 of Starship Troopers, with all the political discussion.
