Civil disobedience still has legal consequences. gently caress the south and their participation trophies but testing down a statue, no matter how repugant, is still a crime.

I mean punch Nazis and tear down statues all you want but don't forget assault and criminal mischief are still (usually) crimes.

Not sure what "raiding homes" means here though, executing search warrants? Arrest warrants?

Fair enough. I just figured from the earlier statement issued by the city that they didn't give a poo poo and were going to let it slide.

Fair point.

I'm not shedding tears at the statues being removed but I guess it would be unreasonable to expect no one to get arrested for spontaneously committing vandalism, even if it is a piece of poo poo.

Nope. Or at least if it was they canceled it because they just applied for a permit according to the Mayor/spokesman who was just on MTP.

Saturday but they may have had their permit pulled because Boston is smart enough to not wanna see a Nazi hung

A Boston police rep was just on MSNBC with Chuck Todd and said they're still in the process of issuing a permit. The rep said if one is issued, it'll come with heavy restrictions (no signs, no sticks, etc)

Eh, I'd take a fine and maybe some community service for having torn down a statue of a turd.

What do you mean in the middle? You have the nazis and the side protesting and punching the nazis.

Home boy going fuckin' cray cray. I really really hope this wakes people the gently caress up to reality and Congress starts taking some serious heat to impeach. I mean I'll take the 25th if it happens because holy loving poo poo nuclear dick waving and Nazis killing on US soil, but impeachment sends a much better message.

Still way too many people out there saying "violence is never the answer, even against nazis". Y'know, even when we have no poo poo nazis in the streets lighting with torches and driving through crowds of protesters. I could see protesters along that mindset getting hosed up by trying to literally get between the nazis and a bunch of angry dudes looking to beat nazis bloody.

I don't want to have to fight my way through protesters so I can fight Nazis

More importantly if you're there to protest Nazis and a bunch of Nazis show up with clubs and shields and a bunch of other dudes with clubs and shields show up and square up with the Nazis try not to be between these two groups of people

The safest option is to not be in the middle, but rather retreat, get your own clubs and shields, then flank the Nazis.
