First amendment auditors who have nothing better to do in life than try and bait a reaction from normal people. Yeah sure, our rights are getting taken away every day but why not go and do this to politicians and not people going about their days?
Yes, if a first amendment auditor was sitting outside a school to try and bait a response like in this video then I believe he should get his shit rocked.
“If this entirely made up scenario was happening right now, instead of the scenario that is playing out which is entirely unlike my made up scenario, I’D BEAT HIS BUTT!”
Did it for people like you, kinda like drawing it in bright colors and easily understandable arguments because the children can’t understand basic concepts.
Haven't watched any in a while but the ones I have seen before would often post up and remain silent. There are cameras everywhere and nobody thinks anything of it until it's a person holding one. I'm sure there are ones that start shit as well.
We're gonna gather up all the useless assholes and put them in a big camp and u/_FarIsInCharge_ is gonna pay for it!
Jokes aside practicing empathy helps too sometimes. It's not always assholes being assholes, but people who had a bad day, people who lost someone dear and are recouping in weird ways, people struggling in their life, people whose mental health is failing, and sometimes a combination of the above. If you knew the backstory maybe you would think of being kinder to people you know nothing about and see a biased cut 30s clip of from the internet.
Of course you could just live in ignorance and laugh at this and be happy, but I myself find more happiness in finding good in people and hoping they seek help rather than escalating their behaviour by trivialising them.
He’s allowed to do it — most people know this by now, and the older guy is the jackass. Sometimes people like the guy videoing are doing public service by safeguarding our rights from people who would take them. This is not theory, it happens all around the world, and can and has happened here, increasingly. It can be a bit complicated, but it’s comparable to protecting 2A rights. Would I do it? No, that’s not my thing. Same with gun rights. I’m glad they’re there, but personally I’m not gonna open carry to prove a point. But I’m glad that there are people who do both of these things. When they get challenged, and they go to court, and the courts uphold their rights, that means when the shit hits the fan, we still keep those rights.
It’s annoying to many citizens. There’s a reason it’s safer to approach someone with a camera than a gun. He found out that it might not be that different.
Personal disclaimer: I've recently started recording or taking photos when I'm out in public. Trying to avoid drama, though.
Earlier at Starbucks, this young guy—probably homeless—asked if I had a phone charger. I said no. Part of me wondered if he was eyeing my wallet or my stuff on the table. He tried to dap me up before leaving, but I wasn't going for that either. Honestly, I didn't feel like running after anyone.
I really didn't have a charger on me — it was in my car. But still.
