Whether or not you want feds to arrest rioters really comes down to whether or not you're fine with the rioting.

We can argue about how that should happen but if you're anti-violence you agree that it needs to happen

@realcaseyrollins the sides arent real, they are two paths that lead to the same authoritarian end

@a7 There's the pro , -adjacent anarchy & chaos side, and the law and order side. I'm not talking about authoritarianism here, and I'm not sure why you are either. Arresting violent criminals isn't authoritarian.

@realcaseyrollins @a7

:gadsen: There is another option. :mcafeesmug:

:brain0: riot good
:brain1: police good
:brain2: boogtime
:brain3: We wouldn't have a riot if we had more people taking notes from the Roof Koreans

I know me a dude, he flew in from Texas at the beginning of the riots. His friends called him up, said "RIOTS, GO TIME, 1992 HAS COMMENCED AGAIN" and he landed in LA, grabbed his rifle, and got on a roof. K-town was dead silent this time. They didn't even *try* to loot Koreatown. He ended up getting drunk on a roof talking about the old days with his buddies.

The places that burned? 100% places where the victims were shouting "halp me gubbamint" instead of "ON NE PASSEZ-PAS!"

@p @a7

👏🏾👏🏾
This!!

But yeah frankly time is coming soon, the police are largely ineffective. The feds' success is our only hope to stem the coming civil war.

Save, of course, capitulation.

@realcaseyrollins @p authoritarianism isnt suddenly good because you like who its targeting

@realcaseyrollins @p well I guess too a lot of people it is- that’s the issue. Who will be capitulated in the next wave of authority? Your vote matters :alexjonessmug:

@realcaseyrollins @p doesnt it seem odd how theres always a new vaguely defined enemy in cycles

@realcaseyrollins @p ok ill go take some guns from those i declared alt-right - you support government use of authority to target those that might be deemed dangerous for their ideas. So you should be ok with it.

@realcaseyrollins @a7 The point he was making (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong) is it goes both ways: red flag laws are still law and order. The war on drugs? Law and order.

@realcaseyrollins @p because people are being grabbed for being suspected, or association. It’s classic shakedown tactics thats why so many are being released. They are trying to get them to snitch on people - because they have little information on people who did do something or they are trying to build webs of association and build nice little files on ideology and who to spy on. Thing is this shit has been happening for years - there is just a concentration of people of interest.

@a7 @realcaseyrollins @p do you have any sources that they're grabbed solely on suspicion and that any have been released?

@colonelj @p @realcaseyrollins every report of the incidents seem to be people being instantly released after not answering questions and asking for a lawyer… that implies something

@a7 @p @realcaseyrollins maybe they're lying. how it even be verified? i'm gonna need an article or interview or something.

@colonelj @p @realcaseyrollins you answer your own unanswerable question

how can it even be verified?

@realcaseyrollins @p @colonelj it’s odd that you were praising the action- glad it was happening but now you are going “we dont have any proof that it is happening” … I dunno man any person who comes forward uncharged you will say is lying - any one who comes forward charged they are terrorist so ok. It’s a lose lose argument you are presenting. Even if they have a warrant they have to present the warrant to the arrested and tell them why they are arrested.

@a7 @p @colonelj If what they see saying can be verified I'll believe them. In general I'm just not a big fan of heresay.

@realcaseyrollins @p @colonelj except when its used to detain people - you seem to like that :shrug_akko:
