But they acted like it was exclusively in America and it was a plot to take our liberties away. The powers that be didnt give a shit about stopping those red necks because theyre fighting about a fictitious issue. Not every country had stay at home orders and the stay at home orders were mostly abided by for the first couple of months. But that's not the point. The point is that the government doesn't have the right to tell you that you can't protest. It doesn't matter if the cause is stupid. It's part of your personal liberty and is enshrined in the constitution as something the government necessarily cannot take away from you. HornedLion posted... Now, these protestors are fighting against police brutality and mistreatment of black people; an issue which does indeed seem to be exclusive to America. Furthermore, you see that very same police brutality and dismissal of our rights in the videos posted here. And your response is, Michigan woman bad. I don't give a fuck about Michigan. I don't live there. The protest being for a good cause doesn't matter in the slightest. What matters is that you a few weeks ago were saying, 'Oh they shouldn't be allowed to protest because its dangerous'. Now that same argument can be used to justify shutting down these protests. Guess what? That's a bad thing. American citizens should have the right to protest regardless of the circumstances. It's one of the few rights we have that prevent our other rights from being completely destroyed. I'm glad there are people out there protesting for Floyd and I'm glad there were rednecks protesting the stay at home orders. I hope they both keep doing it. And for the record, the pandemic aint gone homey. So if you thought it was 'dangerous' for the protestors to be doing it three weeks ago and that it's fine to protest now, that makes you stupid. --- I promise that if the game stinks I will make a topic about how I hate it and you can all laugh at me - Mead on Fallout 76 <cite>Smarkil posted [p:939980638] in WTF is goi...
