Property rights are completely unhinged in America. Two people were criminally charged with trespassing for doing this:

on the basis that their feet violated private airspace as they “flew” over private land (without touching it) in the process of stepping from one parcel of public land to another. The landowner, a pharmaceutical executive, tried to prevent access to public land by doing this:

two T-posts [were] driven into the private land near the first corners. The posts were chained together, creating an obstacle the ladder overcame. Each post had a “No trespassing” sign and the Elk Mountain Ranch phone number.

Grende complained the hunters had shot a bull elk.

“Mr Grende explained that the area where the three hunters had shot the elk was only accessible to the hunters by means of crossing the private land of the Elk Mountain Ranch,” the affidavit reads.

After they were acquitted the landowner sued them in civil court for 9 million dollars and lost, but only because their property wasn’t physically touched. So it is still legal to block access to public land if you build a tall fence.

Really cool how you can potentially get a criminal record because your foot briefly passed over an inch of Joe Blow’s shitty land

You don't understand, that 8-year-old kid on a bicycle is casing my house so he can come back with his fellow gangsters and murder my entire family

Liberals are idealists who believe in a titanic moral struggle between good and evil, in their mind the USSR “losing the Cold War” was a divine punishment from the cosmos for their negative gommulist 1984 karma. Quite literally magical thinking

The NYPD International Liason Program enters into obligations on behalf of the NYPD and represents the NYPD in foreign affairs. That's not even remotely the same thing as entering into international treaties on behalf of the US. Sure, it's US influence, but that's influence that's sanctioned by the feds, or else it wouldn't be happening. NYPD pigs aren't diplomats, the ILP is an international influence/intelligence op not a consular program. Officially the imperial footholds are cutting deals with the NYPD. It doesn't give the NYPD the power to adopt the Rome statute on behalf of the federal government. If your boss sends you on a business trip to represent your department you don't become the CEO of the company.

these are people who are not whatsoever skeptical of what the media tells them; they legit believe the bullshit they hear on CNN or CBC or whatever.

Hey wait a minute now, they do get extremely angry at the media whenever they accidentally imply that the Chinese or Russians might not be ontologically evil untermenschen, angry enough that they whip out the Protocols of the Elders of Beijing

A head of state is considered a diplomatic official, as well as everyone he's with, unless they are not government officials. If the mayor of a city could have a foreign head of state arrested on an official visit, then the entire diplomatic system would break down.

2 FAM 232.5(a)

Foreign heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers enjoy immunity from criminal and civil jurisdiction during their terms of office[^1].

Also:

Sitting heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers are absolutely immune from suit during their terms of office. Head-of-state immunity is a status-based immunity (immunity ratione personae) that attaches to these officials while they occupy these positions “to ensure the effective performance of their functions on behalf of their respective States.”[^2]

What this means is that no arrest warrant would be enforceable, including the ICC warrant because the US is not a party to the Rome statute, and you can write as many jaywalking tickets to Satanyahu as you wish but he has no obligation to ever show up to court.

At most, the government can expel him from the country. The federal government, not NYC. If Mamdani took any independent action he would be committing multiple capital offenses relating to defying the authority of the federal government. I mean, he probably wouldn't actually be sentenced to death, but I don't think he's going to choose life in federal prison in exchange for what would at most amount to a stunt.

TLDR: it would be even more illegal for Mamdani to have Satanyahu arrested than for any random person on the street to try.

If Trump doesn't stop Trumping we'll be back next time with snippier signs!

Well-off white liberals, the primary organizers behind this, go to protests as social events and as a break from their military contractor jobs. It's no wonder they celebrated when SDPD called them good boys on twitter.

Heads of state have diplomatic immunity

Does she think being Jewish would've cancelled out the Nazism? Does she think Nazism is an ethnicity?

Redditors are the state department's loyalest good-boy chihuahuas ready to bark about Russia at the drop of a hat, zero evidence required

Unfortunately that would require the conservatives to be right and for him to be the second coming of Mao
