Isn't Paul a Libertarian? I'd think he'd appreciate their right to protest.

How can you make the incredible jump in comparing China's virtual annexation of Hong Kong's legal system to Trump sending in Federal support to maintain Law and Order?

Police action in both HK and many of the BLM protests are very similar, and the Republican response to these protests is incredibly similar to how the CCP and pro-Beijing parties reacted to the HK protests.

Rand has been attacked before and shot at and tbf seems unfair that he is targeted here.

I think also if this was a male Dem politician getting this type of treatment , the DNC media would not be quick to scream "free speech" also.

Chris Hayes for example was saying this is fine, he supported the tea party doing the same in 2009 even though their was footage of him saying the opposite. :pac:

Got to have standards.

From my viewing of the video, and I appreciate that it may not be the full event, there was no voilence directed at Paul.

So wouldn't this fall under the right to protest and freedom of speech?

Uncomfortable, no doubt. Intimidating, possibly. I certainly would be scared of it was me, but I am not a serving politician who uses that platform to push my specific views and attempt to get others to adhere to those views.

I don't think its the end of the world either tbf, although as Lachlan pointed out, it seems a bit odd to target him here. He's doing the rounds so he can't be to bad.

I'd hope though if we were to get similar type of confrontation when it comes to dem male senators we get the same benefit of the doubt.

This all just seems to show that the Republican Party is not the big bad that international media display it to be.

There are nutcases and bad people on all sides in America and the divide is getting worse.

I hope Biden wins, for the simple reason is I hope it heals that divide even a small bit.

Biden will obviously be better than Trump, but America is in such a bad place right now you need a FDR to slowly get it back on the road.

I seen a tweet a while ago which stuck with me

" Privlidge is thinking everything was fine before Trump came along"

Trump obviously has made things much worse, but could take decades to truly tackle the inequality that covid has magnified .

Such a shame Warren and to a lesser extent Bernie ran such so-so campaigns, both were people that were needed for now.

And before someone snips, yes I'd vote Biden before Trump and nope they are not as bad as each other.

But how will he make it better? Apart from not be an idiot.

The best hope is the Republicans might take losing better than the Democrats have

Thank God for Trump. These demonic protesters will try everything to destabilise the country including attacking innocent people and burning down buildings. This is what happens when you remove God from society. The Illuminati and dishonest media have free will to program the minds of those lost souls.

Wasn't it a Trump supporter who shot two people dead the other night?

Sorry mods but thats the only response the post deserved.

As much as I want to make a joke about a tin foil special somewhere; do you think if God hadn't been removed from society that the well documented racial issues in the US would " just disappear". Also considering the racial issues in the US have always been there does that mean the US has always been a godless society? If God has been removed from society and the Illuminati and the "dishonest media have free will to program the minds of those lost souls" how have Trump and his supporters been immune to this?

Entirely legal, I'm also pretty sure it wouldn't even be illegal in most of Europe. I think it's pretty reasonable that Paul as their representative has virtually ignored the Breonna Taylor case where she was killed in her home by the Police, in Paul's state.

Grand you have no problem with people protesting and screaming obscenities at people, and their psrtners, and their friends in an intimidating manner

Assume you have no issue with Gemma etc either then.

We have differing opinions on this. I'll respect yours

The media are using their agenda to create division. They are selective in their reporting and mostly distort the truth to create the false outrage and disorder they seek. They know if they can break the last line of defence, the law enforcement, then those putting their trust in the media and those controlling them will destroy and burn down the country. This is not a race issue, it is a spiritual warfare and many people are being deceived by those controlling this world behind the scenes.

Ah take it to the conspiracy or christianity forums ffs.

No, thats your truth, thats your belief, thats your ideals.

I dont believe in your "god" nor your ideals, stop trying to push your religious narrative into others. Go to the relevant forums and post them where they belong.

Like many Republicans and right wingers, they only support the right to protest when it's their side doing it.

To be fair, such hypocrisy can be found on all sides. Very few politicians are not giulty of espousing various principles when it suits, and abandoning them when it suits.
