True Tyranny

[TemplarKormac]

For anyone thinking Trump is a tyrant, look at what's happening in Iran. Thirty-thousand people dead, simply for speaking out against the Ayatollah. That's how true tyrants behave.

Trump has done no such thing here, and you should consider yourself lucky you can speak out against him without fearing reprisal.

Count your blessings.

We should put her on a flight to Teheran.

When they throw her off a building, the pavement will be irreparably damaged.

Not the same. They have laws restricting freedom of speech deemed detrimental to Islam or state interests. In practice, the government enforces strict censorship and punishes those who criticize the regime or its policies. Looks like they will kill anybody that speaks out.

We have no such laws, but do have high powered political attempts, made to muzzle adverse opinion broadcast on network television or even late night comedians.

I was not aware the extent of the problem till I read this article by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

". . . . In Miami last week, Raquel Pacheco posted a Tweet/X calling out Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner’s “blind support for Israel.” She called him a hypocrite for supporting the free speech of those who want Israel to take over Gaza, but opposing the free speech of those who want a Palestinian state.

When she received a visit from two Miami Police detectives asking if she had placed that post, she politely declined to answer. Pacheco told them that she has the right to remain silent. When she asked them to leave the front porch of her home, they did.

Two weeks ago in Minneapolis, Susan Tincher was arrested for following Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and persistently videotaping them. She was shoved to the snow on her belly and handcuffed behind her back.

At an ICE detention facility, her clothes and her wedding ring were removed from her — the latter by a bolt cutter. After five hours of confinement, an ICE supervisor decided to release her. ICE agents returned her destroyed wedding ring but not her clothes, which they told a federal judge had been lost.

Also in Minneapolis, the Department of Justice recently announced that it has commenced criminal investigations of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, alleging that their encouragement of anti-ICE demonstrations constitutes obstruction of justice, for which they should be charged and prosecuted, and incarcerated if convicted.

Last week, F.B.I. agents raided the Washington, D.C., home of a Washington Post reporter, Hannah Natanson. They seized all her electronic devices. She had been working on a story involving federal whistleblowers, 1,100 of whom had communicated with her.

Raiding the homes of journalists is prohibited by federal law, unless the journalist is engaged in ongoing crimes — which the feds have said Natanson is not — or to save human life; also not the case here. This was chilling the speech of the whistleblowers — on steroids.

All of these events constitute the government evaluating the content of speech, determining what it hates or fears, and then either chilling the speakers or prosecuting them. . . "

We're such precious little snowflakes here in the US. Someone gets an ouchie while sacrificing themselves to the cause, and everyone starts screaming "Tyranny!" It doesn't matter that this latest piece of cannon fodder was a "nurse" or that he worked for the VA. All that matters to those who gleefully inspired him to take a bullet in the name of protecting murderers, rapists, and illegal alien pedophiles, is that the bullet was administered by the same people whose job it is to protect us against the border-jumping illegal scum. Had it been one of those illegals that shot him, nobody would have cared enough to know his name.

The first example maybe.

But how many people have died for their speech here? Renee and Pretti are exempt, they died needlessly due in whole or in part to their actions. Are we experiencing a repressive regime like Iran's?

Nobody seems to have any perspective on this issue.

All of them.


Americans shouldn't have to be grateful our government isn't killing us over speech, we have a right to exercise our Constitutional Rights without being harassed.

I think Trump has already caused that.

Like I said, this board is a prime example of my point.

Furthermore, ICE agents should be able to do their jobs without being harassed.

We should be thankful, but apparently we don't seem to appreciate what we have.

Then Iran says this...





Unfreaking real.

Of course they do, Iran and Democrats are two peas in a pod. Of course Iran will support the Dem mobs of lawless agitators. And like Dem assholes, Iran has no shame and blatant hypocrisy rolls off their backs like water.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Nobody seems to get what I'm trying to say. The government isn't murdering us en masse over our speech.

If you can't be thankful for that, I don't know what else to say.

 

[petro]

I guarantee that if I traveled the 35 miles into south Mpls right now with a red hat, an American flag and a sign saying Deport Now, that a shitload of "peaceful protesters" would swarm and assault me preventing my First Amendment rights.

It's not the tyranny of my government I worry about but the tyranny of the Mob.
