A circle jerk about a nobody stealing a sign, during a time of unprecedented executive corruption and obstruction.

Sock puppets are hilarious, but in a "you should get that looked at" kinda way.

The immoral have skewed priorities.

Other folks (like blacks) take note, if you want your 1st Amendment rights upheld then do it via some tangible bit of property like a sign rather than symbolic acts like kneeling (or heaven forbid, simply talking) since the former gives you some recourse if opponents try to restrict it.
Thing about you white boys you are never satisfied no matter what means black people protest. If its peaceful you still bitch.

Go fuck yourself with your attitude "I need to tell those black people how to behave in Trump's America.

You are of course 1000% right here. this inconsequential bullying is a diversion from actualy important "real" news ...

PS, Look at Nixon for past precedent :)

Female student arrest for stealing (larceny)


The responding officer did a surprisingly good job of handling the situation and explaining to the college student why what she did was wrong. He also seems to understand the concept of free speech better than the student.

PRO ABORTION? SERIOUSLY?

No one is """PRO ABORTION""".
No one goes around getting PG for the fun of later having an abortion.
No one walks up to some expecting lady insisting that she have an abortion for the fun of it.
There is no such thing as being pro abortion.

There are women that find themselves in difficult situations.
There are women that are too young to handle motherhood.
There are women all alone that have not the financial means nor the support group needed for motherhood.
There are women who's male counterparts have split the scene or refuse to man-up and take responsibility.
There are men that simply say, bye bye lady, not my problem, its your problem.

Yes, there are a lot of highly personal and highly private situations that a woman might find herself in where safe and legal access to abortion is the only answer and option.
A sad situation but just as sad for the individual as well.

No one enjoys finding themselves in such a predicament, no one enjoys abortion, and if they do not have the means nor the realistic ability to handle motherhood then.... well.... its frankly no ones business other than that of the expectant women.
And most certainly not the business of government nor the business of a bunch of old fat white men politicians sitting on their fat ass within some congress, and where those same old fat white men no doubt in their past did their share of knocking up women and then splitting the scene.

And I agree with that assessment. She is opinionated, good for her, but find another way to express yourself. That being said she IS the age of stupid .. If that shit goes down on her record, that is just sad.
These videos are created specifically to rally taj, drifter and kin around the bon fire to burn the witch. Its sickening.
There are new posts here every day doing the exact same thing, and you've never once spoke out against them.

I thought he was doing a good job up until the point he arrested her. Let me clear, I think what she did was wrong and foolish. However, what are the odds she actually gets prosecuted for yoinking a poster board? The tax dollars wasted over the arrest will be far more than the value of that sign. I think a verbal warning would have been more appropriate, especially because the officer seemed to have been delivering it well. I think the free speech aspect here obfuscates things a bit. She was arrested for stealing ... a poster board... that she gave back...

Nothing will come of it except her embarrassment and hopefully a lesson learned.

Yeah, that's why I'm saying the arrest was a bit over the top. I think the sign owner needs to get a grip as much as the girl though.

1) Older members might be glad to hear this. I'm a millennial, and the fact that he was recording before stuff went down grates me. It's like people who start a meal by taking a picture and posting it on Instagram. Who freakin cares... We're not all like that.

2) Following after her and alerting the police over a stolen poster board? Yeesh. Yes he has right to be there and say what he wants to say, but that seems like a major overreaction over a poster board to me. I would not have gotten the police involved over something so stupid.

Really, just don't take or destroy someone else's property is you aren't prepared to face the consequences.

Didn't watch the video but:

Of course this is an emotional topic and the woman may feel justified or even "martyred" by this experience and actually arrive at the opposite of the intended conclusion. If the "anti-abortion" side murders people because they feel justified in "murdering a murderer" than it should come as no surprise that this woman might feel justified in commiting an illegal act if she is defending the "freedom" of women such as herself and others.

Ahhh, so the best suggestion is to abort the anti-abortion protestors .... we can call it 100 trimester abortions :)

The only appropriate use of "but" is "but Obama!" or "but Hillary!"
But “anyone” is fair game when the topic in question is a comparison between candidates or what one Predident did better or worse than another, especially when hypocritical tribalism is evident.

Trump has become the new Godwin’s law.

I'm going to have to disagree. As of the last couple years I have become extremely pro abortion. I in fact think it should be mandatory for anyone that voted for Trump to have an abortion. Nazis should not be allowed to breed.

Sorry, "Trump" is officially absolved from ever invoking Godwin

When you literally defend Nazis whenever given the chance not to, you are appropriately going to face charges of Nazism.
