these people are so volatile and fragile, bless their pedophile hearts
Un. Fucking. Believable.
Id expect nothing less from a man who dogged a draft by faking bone spurs and who’s only able to be an alpha when he’s raping innocent young children.
Pathetic.
Protestors need to know how to contact their local ACLU. If you're doing this level of protest, probably should preemptively havea contact with them and memorize the contact phone number
There are legal services you can subscribe to that give you a phone number to call if you get arrested and they'll send out a lawyer. The one I have is $300 a year.
PREACH! Mine is $26 a month and well worth it. I can get a lawyer on the phone within an hour for any trivial question or thing I need to investigate.
For those not in the know, it's basically legal insurance. Many services are free, EOL docs and such. I believe they'll draft a letter for free as well, haven't tried that. For actual litigation you get 30% off, which is significant.
My divorce lawyer was fucking awful. My child custody lawyer, Jesus, he put a stick on my ex-wife and mopped the courtroom floor with her dumb ass.
I originally subscribed because I wanted an employment contract review, and $300 was way less than hiring a lawyer directly. I've kept it because I'm critical of the current administration.
Could you link us? I've never heard of this sort of service.
They're above board, no bullshit. I'm not aware of any other such firm in the US. I mainly know because my dad was an insurance salesman in the 90s. Worked for 20 firms, only sold you what fit your needs, not locked to a single outfit's offerings. He was a fan, and given his morals, I had a look. Plus they're originally from Oklahoma, like me!
Company before last offered us the benefit, and since I already knew about them, I signed up. Funny thing, I'm not sure I'm paying a dime extra for the "benefit" since I quit that place.
People have commented online, "I'm not in legal trouble and I don't plan on suing anyone, don't need it." But legal issues are like violence, they're up in your grill, instantly. In any case, it's damn nice to literally have a phone number in your pocket for legal aid. I've mostly used it to ask, "Can they do this to me?", "What recourse do I have?", "What if I do this thing?"
LOL, the law ain't what most think. Yes, they can do that. No, you don't have recourse. Don't do that thing. But still, having a real lawyer to talk to is damned instructive. It's the difference between the rich and poor.
Thank you
The ACLU will probably be charged alongside any protesters anyway, just to eliminate using them for legal counsel under the guise of "because I said so" and Judge Cannon et al will just accept it
Last time I checked the constitution is still in effect
Don't be intimidated by the Trump administration. That only does them a favor.
Last time I checked the constitution is still in effect
Last time I checked, it's not self-enforcing.
last time i check the gop, see it as a meaningless piece of paper.
No but we can enforce it
Depends on the judge. But yes every one of these infringements should be fought.
Also National Lawyers Guild. Write their phone number on your arm in sharpie before protests
what is the charge? interrupting a meal? a succulent chinese meal?
~~chinese~~ burger meal
They criticized/disagreed with him and it hurt is fee fees.
Because they are all the real snowflakes.
This is going to be the golden age of jury nullification.
It already is, there's been a shocking and historically unprecedented number of grand jury "no bill"s recently in DC and LA when prosecutors try to indict random protestors with felonies, which is incredible since those are basically unheard of.
its also performative to satiate the republican masses, to look "strong".
Yes. I think people are wise to the fact that the simple potential of facing charges is the threat that is supposed to intimidate and suppress opposition. Tying someone's life up in a trial that has no chance of seeing a guilty verdict is the actual punishment they are aiming for because they know they have no legal standing.
I also watched legal eagle
Its not even jury nullifcation, its grand jury nullifcation in many cases.
jury of your peers is a jury of your peers, i don't care how they nullify unjust charges
The petit jury nullification is coming. You've got defendants in DC insisting on their speedy trial rights because they want to get themselves on front of a jury right now in the present moment.
The GOP needs to pass emergency legislation - Immediate life sentences without trial for anyone that hurts Trump's dainty little feelings.
After years of saying "Fuck your feelings" to "snowflake" liberals, Maga and Trump keep proving themselves to be the most delicate little snowflakes on the planet. Every fucking thing the GQP and Maga says is projection.
We tried to tell y’all that the RICO prosecution attempt against Cop City protestors was a test and attempt at setting precedent.
Aaww. The tough guy is really just a widdle pussy.
It's fucking hilarious that this fat oaf is acting the way he says the libs act: that is, someone with their fee fees hurt. Fuck dumpy.
Every accusation from a conservative/fascist is a confession. Every. Single. Time.
Harden the fuck up, Donald.
Department of clowns
the same todd blanche giving GHISLAINE maxwell a mysterious box and thenmoving her to a low-security prison.
Oh FUCK this guy. FUCK HIM
Distraction
Release the Epstein files!
I wish the irony of him proving the protesters right by doing this wasn't completely lost on that dumbfuck.
Johnny Rico?!??
No, Rico Suave
Bloody cray cray.
