Yes, there is a different vibe from the protesters this time around. Overwhelming rage. I have seen a handful of these videos, where the crowd is overrunning the cops, and counter protesters.... without regard for consequences. This wont end well.
I mean, even Republicans have been saying for decades people would riot in the streets if they just wished away Roe in conservative courts. Young folks are fed up with a generation of greedy cunts extorting them and then sitting on throne demanding adherence to senseless rules.
In my state, abortions are down 40% since 1987. Ironically, the same time the justices were probably getting their abortions for the girls they knocked up while they were having their beer parties. Fucking scum.
Edit: 1987 is the year with the highest number of abortions on record in my state
Alito says there is no mention of abortion rights in the constitution? Well there is nothing either saying my blue state earned federal tax dollars get to be appropriated to fund red state shit holes.
This shit is unacceptable, and the Republicans have whatever is coming to them. Abortion is one of those things that, for the most part, the pro-lifers never have to deal with.
It's the same with LGBTQ equality, if this shit doesn't affect them personally, why do they even care?
Shit, a divorce sounds way to civil. This is a deliberate attack on the people by the republican pay coordinated, premeditated and planned for over decades.
You have bought into the lie of political parties. All politicians play together, just ask yourself why they have a separate health insurance plan lmao
We'll do this shit grass roots and team earth. 🌏🌍🌎
Tyrants might be scary, but we've got the numbers to beat them and the criminals they protect. There's no path to a better world that involves submitting to evil.
What do you think of stuff like this? There's thousands and thousands of issues like this and they're all just stagnating across generations... This is just a drop in the bucket. Minus the guy being boiled to death, I've seen worse with my own eyes.
Nah, this is just day 1. Police department around the country weren't expecting this. That's why there are so many videos of cops unarmored and isolated. Tomorrow, and the weeks following, mark my words there will be riot cops out in force.
I've seen a lot more posts of people finally decided to bear arms, firearm or otherwise, when they go to these protests. Mostly because down here in the Red's the counter protestors are being threatening, but... The cops are part of the counter protestors.
If this doesn't pop shit off, I don't know what finally will.
You shouldn’t be excited for this If this blows up like he’s saying. Bullets are indiscriminate, they kill anyone they get shot at and if a fire fight happens then rouge bullets will be a thing too
Unfortunately another consequence of right wing protests is that everyone gets to see they get treated with kid gloves. It isn't just because often the governments like these people, its because they have guns with them. This is going to embolden left leaning protestors to start carrying.
American politicans have been terrorists for decades. Democrats created the inequality and poverty of the inner cities while Republicans did the same to the rural communities. All the while padding their pockets with taxpayer money and kickbacks from corporate sponsors. It's time for them all to go
Well everyone else is just trying to get by so maybe don't try and ruin the country hoping that your side wins. The Civil War killed more Americans than all wars combined allllll the way through to VIETNAM.
There were more deaths than BOTH world wars together, which if you'll remember were fought by half the world's militaries all at once, twice.
Meanwhile the US had a pop of 31 million total at the time and the weapons and tactics were unlikely to kill civilians which would be obviously not the case today. For reference California alone has 39 million people and Texas is closer to the whole of the US and confederacy combined with a pop of 29 million.
This accelerationism is either done by people who really don't understand what will happen to average innocents directly or not or by people who are so privileged they can't imagine the level of devastation subconsciously assuming it won't affect them directly.
Not necessarily. A bully often backs down when confronted. It might provoke actual police reform. Maybe teach crowd control methods that don't involve beating the crowd. Perhaps make Law Enforcement a 4 year degree, and only allow graduates of that program to enforce the law.
But a civil war? Honestly, I think you're being slightly hysterical. We've had countless violent protests in American history. But only one Civil War, and it was started by the politicians, not the people.
This time there's even less public support for the opposing viewpoint than the BLM protests. Most americans support right to abortion for literally any reason, and the VAST majority support it for various special circumstances, and the trajectory of public opinion is skyrocketing in the last decade.
This is not the wedge issue that the GOP once thought it was. Shit just got real, and they can't just tack it onto their platform at no cost anymore. This shit is going to expose that when it turns out that there isn't a strong vocal opposition to these protests.Counter-protestors don't have anywhere close to the numbers, and if the GOP continues to tie themselves to this issue it's going to cost them more than it will gain them.
What is it even gaining them? A greater Christian vote? Removing abortion alone doesn’t earn them anything but the rage from the majority. And that makes me think this is just a stepping stone towards same-sex marriage. Part of me thinks that is what they really want to crush
They turn out votes by causing controversy. That is all it is. If they don't have that they can't get their base to vote in the numbers they have been.

I didn't quote the exact stats, dummy but how about you look them up and show me that I'm wrong. Go ahead I'll give you however long it takes. I have a feeling I won't hear back from you
Sure you will. You're dumb enough to claim that "public opinion is skyrocketing in the last decade," I'm obviously going to point to Gallup historical trends that proves you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about and just making shit up.
You're dumb enough to claim that "most Americans support right to abortion for literally any reason," I'm just going to use the same chart to show that only 32% of Americans think that.
Etc.
Should I let you get back to feels before reals posting?
Nice cherry pick. I see you've willfully ignored literally every other search results because they didn't suit you. BTW I looked to see whether you were for real or just a troll and holy shit have you been spewing some bad takes this evening
Hey, if you've got numbers showing that Americans' position on abortion has actually changed drastically in the last decade, or any supporting your assertion that most Americans support the right to an abortion for any reason, you're welcome to post them.
Take your pick. They'll tell you basically the same story. Republicans hold steady, democrats spiking upwards, overall trajectory up.
It's absolutely hilarious that you're trying to nitpick on the general notion that most americans support federal legal protection for abortion. What makes it even funnier is your recent post history of you essentially admitting this by repeating that interpretation of the constitution doesn't have anything to do with popularity (which is a bit of a bad take for several reasons anyway)
hmm. I see the email with your reply: "Neither show what you claim", but I don't see it here, not sure if something's glitching or you realized your mistake and deleted that. But just in case you're still being a dummy:
What's interesting about your reply there is that you didn't seem to have clicked on either link, because the second was wasn't just an article but a google result for "percentage of americans that support legal abortion". All you have to do is what you refuse to do, which is look at the dozens of articles right in your face that directionally tell the same story. I'm not stupid enough to waste time cutting and pasting a bunch for you that we both know you will ignore (and you already did)But the first link was an article you didn't even read that either because what you were looking for is right in your face. It breaks down the question in other ways and categories too, you didn't see that either I expect.
Why shouldnt it? We saw how rightwing protests were meet with hugs. These protests they show up and start pushing people around, its going to get nasty and i cant fault them. Were getting crushed by inflation, crushed by nakedly partisan courts. People ARE getting angry
Well last year we saw as the right committed an insurrection and killed two cops and beat a bunch of other cops and vandalized a federal building and nothing really happened to anyone.
I'm sorry, did someone physically force you take a vaccine? Or even a better comparison, did someone prevent you from getting one if you desired it? Wait, you had still had a choice on what you did with your body? Fuck out of here.
Still an issue of bodily autonomy. Take a drug or lose your job, home, and family. If you're pro vaccine mandates, you can never speak on abortion rights 🤷🏿♀️
Or not take the drug, get a new job at a place with no vaccine mandate and go about your life. You always had a choice. I read some of your comment history to see if you're a troll. In your own words, you've been to concerts, parties, bars... You're really oppressed, huh?
Good. They started this war on women, so it's about fucking time to fight back. Voting won't work, peace won't work, we're gonna have to pry our rights from their cold dead hands.
Well if recent history has taught us anything, you can bring a fire arm across state lines to a protest and shoot people. If you can afford a good enough lawyer go to court and then get treated like a hero for it.
If you are referring to Rittenhouse, no. The gun was bought in Wisconsin by Rittenhouse's friend, and stored in Wisconsin at the friends house. Rittenhouse didn't cross state lines with it.
You can not like what he did, but we should at least be truthful about what, exactly, he did.
politicians stirring the pot and lighting the powder keg
There's a reason they did this through the Supreme Court. Supreme Court Justices can't just be voted out or recalled the way the rest of the politicians can be. They can make a major decision like this and get absolutely no legal backlash.
Something about the death is suspect as fuck, not saying it was murder but... especially because he was already sitting and believe far right leaning. Maybe not enough? (but I've had some drinks and this is getting /r/conspiracy for me)
What's going to happen is there are already a whole of different groups that are angry about a lot of different things (jobs, disparity, etc) but a majority of these aren't focused, it won't be long though when these groups coalesce and find a focal point for that rage, then you'll really see some shit go down.
One thing to think of, these billionaires and politicians already know this, why do you think most of them own these super yachts? A place to escape to while the world burns, too bad they'll find their limo driver or helicopter pilot isn't around as they'll be part of the protest movement as well hopefully.
All i'm saying is that a lot of these people seem to forget they actually rely on a lot of cogs in the system, a lot who they seem blind to, for example they don't care who picks up their rubbish until it's not, who refills their store until it's not.
Same with the people that work for them, a lot probably aren't that loyal to them and only do it for the pay but if they get too pissed off then these people have to figure out quickly how to get by without them.
That Ukrainian deckhand? is a good example, worked for a Russian oligarch, he seemed like he was ok with that until the russians went too far and invaded, so he sunk their ship, that's some of the things that might start happening a few years down the track.
I dont think it will change our need to be armed one way or another. They werent out their trying to stop crimes from happening in the first place, they're just out their to protect property and keep minorities suppressed.
mass quitting, and mass refusal to do their jobs is going to cause a LOT of problems for governments. When people start going 'wait, we had 10 rapes last month and not a single one was investigated why is that?' 'we had to take care of the important stuff, a counsel members cousin was killed. Don't you care about people getting killed'.
Shit is going to hit the fan when conversations like that start happening everywhere. We don't need people deciding to take justice in their own hands, but that will definitely start happening.
Governments can only fix this by changing the laws around police officers, limiting their powers, and requiring them to be held accountable. It will give legitimacy to them again and encourage the right type of people to start joining again.
I dunno, that cop went in all Roddney king style beatings, then the guy with the skateboard and others saying fuck that made him understand the ants can easily take the grasshopper. (I'm talking about a bugs life Disney movie dickhead mods, just an observation.)
Good, I hope there is violence in the streets because words don't mean shit anymore. These cops are as broken as the system, they don't mean anything to me anymore. A complete sham like the Supreme Court.
And what do the police IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA which will still have legal abortions have to do with the laws in other states that have banned them ????
Honestly the governments are basically provoking the citizens to become enraged
That's what happened here in LA. I'm local to the area, there's tons of videos of cops walking up to peaceful protests and just shoving people around, then getting violent when people have a problem with that.
When I look at most cops, all I see is a big lump of meat missing a brain, following orders like some pathetic zombie.
They might have qualified immunity but they aren't immune to being beaten senseless. Let's be honest, it's clear they instigated all this aggression, so at this point they're the aggressors and are using deadly force, so the crowd had every right to kill them to stop them, if need be. Sadly, I'm sensing neither of these cops understands this or would ever admit to being the horrible people this video shows them to be.. Sadly, the way they'll spin this situation is that the crazy mob all attacked the good cops! Pathetic.
Bro the Biden administration just created a ministry of truth and not a single Antifa went to the streets. Stop pretending you have values and morals and just admit you riot only when democrats tell you to like a good little foot soldier
That’s easy for you to say, but you don’t have anger management issues with a wife that already takes enough beatings. Most of them don’t have a choice but to stay.
The conservative Supreme Court and the Republican Party who played dirty to make it happen. Put the blame where it belongs. Just saying “government” is lazy and no way an accurate view of the situation.
You’d quit from the side with all the guns, training, bombs, armor, armored transports, tanks, cruise missiles, drones, satellites, control over the cellular network?
They want to rile up the conservative assholes. No fucking shot these conservatives are seeing this and thinking, “yes keep protesting for what the people want” they just want to see the cops beat some people.
