What’s really funny is Felix also constantly whines about how little money he has. So he sucks at his desired job.

Officially the USA has to allow free market to happen, even with the new Venezuelan government run by acting president Delcy Rodríguez. The tendering for the oil winning services. The Chinese oil companies have already invested, so the US oil companies have to outbid the Chinese oil companies to win the contracts. That is tendering and having a free market. The US dream. Right ?

arrested in Michigan by the local police, for giving lawful interview against the US coup in Venezuela to a local news reporter on camera.

The protestors marched in the roadway and refused officers commands to move from the roadway to the sidewalk. The protestors refused lawful orders and began blocking intersections. The person in question was identified as a protestor and arrested.

Poor Homer, weeping over the loss his boyhood hero, Nicky Maduro. Keep fighting bro, the dictatorship lives on in his VP. Although she has promised to cooperate with the US according to Rubio.

Hey Felix..... are you telling us the truth that you live in the US? I would not be surprised, if it was revealed that you live in Russia and work for the FSB, peddling pro-Trump propaganda.

After all this, and not even an inkling of doubt against Trump, I find it hard to believe that you live in the United States even. Even Greenman shifted slightly to the left after what Trump is doing. Of course Greenman is still a Republican, but they believe that another R should replace Trump.

Are you saying the protestors did not march in the roadway and block traffic?

I really don’t give a shit either way. Locking people up for blocking traffic while protesting is a basic tool of crushing dissent.
But does make the law and order types all tingly.

I guess while we are playing the bullshit game are you saying you personally witnessed the arrested individual block traffic and agree the Grand Rapids police department statement is 100% factually correct?

Anyone that 100% agrees on every subject with any politician is a criminal or an idiot. Probably both.

Well she was one of the admitted leaders of the march, that is probably why she was being interviewed. So yeah I would say it is a high likelihood that she was marching in the street and ignoring a lawful order to get out of the street by LE. If you where walking in the middle of the street and blocking traffic and the police showed up and told you to get out of the street would you expect to be arrested for ignoring them?

You don't get to just block traffic as part of a protest. Just as much as those idiots that try to shutdown freeways.

Last year, protestors held a large protest in SD and worked with the SDPD to make sure everyone stayed safe while still protesting.

Why do you hate the tactics of Martin Luther King and Gandhi? You do understand that the push to make them illegal is solely because they are effective?
