“I guess the both of you failed to read the part where he’s been arrested for doing his type of demonstration in the past.”
You know, I read that part, but I missed the part where he was actually convicted of any crime. Isn’t that the way it works in the USA, you are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law?
So if what you say is true, then where are his convictions?
“And many states require a permit to preach on the streets.”
I might remind you that many states have tried to require a great many things that turned out to be unconstitutional.
“I might remind you that many states have tried to require a great many things that turned out to be unconstitutional.”
But they still do it and it happens.
In an article from the justice department in 2020:
“The Department of Justice announced today that more than 300 individuals in 29 states and Washington, D.C., have been charged for crimes committed adjacent to or under the guise of peaceful demonstrations since the end of May.”
Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman are facing life in prison after officials said they lit a police van on fire with a Molotov cocktail at a Black Lives Matter protest in Brooklyn, New York, in May.
But Mattis and Rahman aren’t alone — more than 13,000 people have been arrested during protests this year, and the Department of Justice said on Thursday that more than 300 people across 29 states had been charged with federal crimes.

On April 26, a Multnomah County judge sentenced Jarrid Bailey Huber, 23, to 60 months of probation and ordered him to pay more than $20,000 in restitution to the organizations and businesses that he damaged, according to a press release from the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office.
PORTLAND, Ore.—An Indiana man was sentenced to federal prison today for repeatedly and intentionally jeopardizing the lives of police officers, destroying public property, and encouraging others to commit violence during protests that occurred in Portland in 2020.
Malik Fard Muhammad, 25, was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison and three years’ supervised release.
So they do happen. People are arrested for reasons in a protest or counter protest in many states often. The one in question is just another instance. And I feel he did it intentionally because he has accomplished the same actions before at other locations. It all has to do with the agenda of the state or feds as to whether they want to push the issue. Look at Jan 6. Did they illegally enter the capital building? Yes they did. Did it warrant shooting someone, no it didn’t. But that’s what can happen when the counter protest gets placed to create disruption. And that has to be a consideration.
