FR is a bit of a schizophrenic site. You'll see "line 'em up and shoot 'em" posts about leftists of various stripes, and you'll see posters going absolutely ballistic over such government misdeeds as Waco and Ruby Ridge.
I suspect that there are posters out there whose worldview encompasses both positions, and who fail to see the paradox, if not outright hypocrisy, holding such views.
Like I said, a bit schizophrenic.

If the authorities started shooting down people in the streets, a LOT of people of all political persuasions would be revolted by it, and would have to seriously question what their government was doing.
I would be one of them.
There are a lot of really great folks on this forum, with some amazing insights. But there are a few people who really need to adjust their medications.

Would you not agree that the minimum use of force used to coerce compliance as shown in above photo is nothing like what happened at Ruby Ridge or Waco ?
It seems to me paradoxical that burkeman1 thinks bruising a peacenik to force compliance to law is worse than shooting to death an unarmed or wounded combattant.

Of course. I don't think the police actions Oakland were out of line. I was speaking of (and I inferred Burkeman's post to be about) the people here who seem to want a Kent State redux.

Good. Our 50 year national history of good men doing too little is coming to an end, and I for one am very happy about it. We as a nation should never miss a legally and morally justified opportunity to give these nation-wreckers a fat lip. Only a fat lip (or jaw), mind you, but a big swollen one.

looks like she's growing a boob on her jaw, maybe she can find work in a freak show somewhere.

If they are "seditious" why not call out the National Guard?

I think the Congress should initiate the draft for the Peace Corps.
These people should be forcibly conscripted into the Peace Corps, and then sent to Iraq and Afghanistan, to work with the people there in the clean-up. They should see the aftermath of the brutal regimes they support with their seditious acts, and be forced to help in the reconstruction of the societies whose destruction they have abetted.

I agree, but "dispersing the crowd" is not enough.
There are organizers of these rallies, just as there were in the Vietnam era. These people need to be caught, jailed, and tried for sedition.
There were many here calling for the arrest of di Genova at Columbia U., who was simply voicing his (admittedly nauseating) opinion. That is wrong.
But these people are DELIBERATELY inciting riot, for the express purpose of impeding the legally constituted government of this nation. There ought to be a penalty for that. Perhaps you can't arrest five thousand people, but you can arrest five dozen, and make them an example.

How do we know that she wasn't just engaging in a little "rough love-play"?

I think his original post was over the top, but I can't dismiss what they are doing as simple protests easily dispersed.
This country has been tolerating their lawlessness for way too long (remember Seattle).
I am not for shooting them outright, but I think it is long overdue that America does more to police the utter lawlessness that takes place at some of these peace 'protests'.
Protests are one thing. Destruction of property and the denial of the constitutional rights of others and the interference with people being able to do their jobs is quite another. And being overly permissive with these whackjobs in the name of free speech is merely letting them get more and more aggressive.

FWIW, this is a declared war. The President went to Congress
a priori the commencement of hostilities, and got their permission--and the check to pay for it--to use our military.
I don't know why some people want certain words to be used, especially since there was a condition given to the use of that force: Saddam had to disarm, and if he didn't we were going to war with him.
This is hardly the same as a "police action."
This is a declared war, no matter what anyone else thinks. But it was a war specifically against a regime, not a real "nation."

I'm all for executing traitors--after they have had due process.
As I said, the thing that angers me about this is, they don't go after the organizers of this rally. I suspect that a couple dozen people could be rounded up and charged as seditionists, and that would calm things down considerably.

It's not just trying to riot, it's also destruction of property and assault (flinging bolts and suchlike). For those reasons alone, throw them all into prison. Maybe they'll understand matters a bit better with a couple of years being locked up.
One need not even speak the word "sedition" to find reasons to lock these people up - the cause was already sufficient.

Since "sedition" is a Federal crime, I think the p.c. of the situation is irrelevant, "Mayor Moonbeam" is irrelevant.
The U.S. Attorney ought to be preparing charges right now.
