Poll of the Day > Has anyone rioted yet?

(+) Yeah! (+)

If they havent, theres no hope

I'm expecting things to happen this weekend, or the next.

While the decision is terrible, resorting to violence is not a solution and suggesting we need riots to solve a problem is unwise.

I pray for you.

Some America haters burnt a flag and a posse is outside the court.. waiting for someone to throw the first punch..

Antifa will no doubt stir up trouble which the media will either ignore or claim is/are peaceful protests

Y'know, the same coverage the Floyd crowds received

wow theyre preemptively complaining about antifa this time lmao

Lol, yes it is. It's just one people generally don't like.

The only people who spout platitudes like this are people who have never been put in a position where they had to resort to violence to protect themselves from violence in turn, and it must be made clear; that is exactly what this is, a green light for State violence against those who are pregnant, who have miscarried, or who need abortificients to live and thrive due to a medical condition. We have politicians calling for the death penalty for these people, and you're whining about hypothetical riots, lol.

Well when leftists protest the riot police and snipers show up, we don't exactly have the privilege of walking into the state capitol like some people.

There's a reason why the first wave feminists learned martial arts and brought 6 inch spikes pretending to be hair ties. It was to beat police responding to their protests.
I hope we don't forget our history with these things.

gotta get me some spikes

more like 59 probably but yeah, he fully believed there should be regular revolutions specifically to combat conservatism, because it was seen as the death of a nation if it was unable to progress

and, well

he wasn't wrong it looks like

No, and I doubt I ever will.

Riots and violent protests are okay as long as I agree with them.

Everyone who complained about January 6th

that wasn't a protest or a riot

it was an insurrection attempt

So, what you're saying is you don't know what the definition of riot or insurrection is. This scans considering your usual political literacy.

Violence is okay because of slight variations in definitions of words.

Riots and insurrections are both disturbances of the peace. One is against an authority or a government.

I would consider the SCOTUS an authority.

Cool way to try to deflect your ignorance into something I wasn't talking about. But you do you.

Here's a hint: I never even remotely advocated or said either was acceptable.

No. The George Floyd incident had a strong emotional response from the public because it involved someone losing their life, and because of laws/culture that were already in place.
A law being changed is not gonna have as big of an outcry. Now, if certain horrible events happen AS A RESULT of Roe V Wade being overturned, that will have a much stronger response from protestors.
It's unfortunate, but usually it takes loss of life or multiple lives in order to be a real outcry.

No.
Im not a little Pol Pot wannabe manchild. Also, the SC decision was the correct decision. Yall have no principles to acknowledge that Roe was wrong because the SC is not supposed to be a legislative body. They passed this issue back to the legislature, where it should be.

or

roe was necessary because of conservative white men wanting to control women like they used to

and have literally

said as much

if people stopped trying to tell women what they can or can't do with their bodies while putting no onus on them for the reverse, then there would not need to be any legislation

so no, it should not be there.

Rioting would be childish and stupid. We just need to make sure we mobilize our base and vote in the next supreme court election.

I love these alt righters who think rioting and violent protest should NEVER employed because the majority disagrees with rioting and sedition over an election fraud scheme that they made up lol. I just can't with this country

14th amendment. The first amendment was a mistake and should have excluded the word congress too.

And by striking down the New York gun law they did they were legislating from the bench and overruling Roe v Wade is also very much legislating from the bench.

Wrong, it was the wrong decision. It was a 7-2 decision when it was originally decided, it was flipped by a 5-4 with 4 of those five being nominated by presidents that lost the popular vote 3 of em lied under oath, one has a wife who tried to overthrow the government.

It was not the correct decision to narrowly overthrow settled law from liars and traitors who are not representative of the nation.

Instead we're stuck in limbo where states are going to pass laws attempting to interfere with other states which makes it a federal issue and the federal government isn't going to do shit.

Quite the contrary: It's the only solution. Protesting? The Supreme Court already knows that most Americans disapprove of this decision; there's nothing more that a protest can make them consider or realize. Voting/campaigning? The Supreme Court consists of unelected individuals that will be in there until they either resign or die. Given that they're unlikely to resign (see the previous point for why protesting will do nothing), that leaves death as the only possible avenue for effecting meaningful change.

The second amendment exists to protect citizens' right to violently remove a government than has failed the people and cannot be removed any other way. The Supreme Court has failed the people and cannot be removed any other way.

If the second amendment was repealed they absolutely would take to the streets with rioting and violent protest.

they hate rioting but are totally cool with bombing abortion clinics when it suits them

no why

Not really much they can do. If Biden tried an executive order it would be immediately flipped, and congress isn't going to be able to pass anything on it. The supreme court has genuinely sowed chaos here.
