If you can’t follow “don’t stand in the crosswalk,” I’m not sure “save democracy” is going to be your strongest lane.
Get out of the road — or at least don’t pose next to the sign that literally says you’re standing in the crosswalk.
I’d love to see this finally enforced like it would be for anyone else, but based on what happened last time, I’m not holding my breath. Apparently it’s just their “right” to stand in the road and block traffic — and how dare anyone point it out.
Just a thought:
"peacefully gather against the undemocratic abuses of our current government" "There's no real alternative. The alternative is to not speak out and give in to tyranny."
These are pretty serious claims. Was there any follow up questioning if Mr Villamil could name one instance of "abuses of our current government or tyranny"?
If these people are so serious about their cause you would think they would be able to name very specific examples.
Well said, Anne. Thank you. Michelle Embree Ku is about as stand-up a person, let alone a state house rep, as one could possibly hope for. I definitely will be supporting her -- as an Independent! Who (sadly) must register as a Dem in order to vote in primaries. Ah... so many other things to fix about our system! :)
