Land of the Free
Bill Hicks had a joke that ended with, "You are free to do as we tell you."
Hi, mod here.
In the future, please avoid sharing links from news aggregators. Sharing from the original source helps community health by providing transparency, and allows others to avoid reposting the same article.
Thanks for saying that. Yahoo tries to set millions of data harvesting cookies, it's insane. Declining it means no video in this case.
Nazis like to make examples of people
Flashback to people getting arrested in the red square for holding a white piece of paper
I remember watching a video like this but it was on Reddit and it was top post. It was also happening in Moscow, not the USA.
"The country of freedom" accuses the other country of their censorship in media, but then it starts doing the same things.
Freedom my ass I say
What a shithole country.
🎵 In the laaaand of the unfree... And the home of the depraved.🎵
To paraphrase Brennan Lee Mulligan, paraphrasing Michel Foucault, "Laws are threats made by the dominant socio-economic ethnic group in a given nation. It's just a promise of violence that's enacted and police are basically an occupying army."
You guys wanna make some bacon?
USA is cooked, man. It's no longer a free country. Party of no censorship and free speech, yeah right.
“You can beat the wrap, but you can’t beat the ride”
Or possibly losing your job, healthcare insurance, going bankrupt, etc.
Presuming it was autocorrect, but it should be RAP, record of arrests & prosecutions.

Reporting Team Watches Women Kidnapped In Broad Daylight, Openly Wonders why Nobody Trusts Journalists
Thankfully it seems like no one said this yet, so just inb4:
She was not stupid, nor useless or played into their hand. Be inspired and take example. Being arrested for a little bit is not that big of a price to pay for resisting tyranny.
More importantly, without blindly believing it will automatically come true, at least put the scenario where you win into your heads. Going to prison for what's right can actually be liberating, if you think about it. And people can be taken out of prison too, together with all those that were imprisoned for getting or giving an abortion, those that immigrated "illegally" but spent decades contributing to the US's society and economy, those that only had a bunch of weed on them, etc. Maybe even the whole "for-profit prison" concept may finally come to an end. Imagine that!
How Russia-esque
If this had happened in Venezuela in last couple of days the media would be loosing it's shit. The image of that arrest would be immortalized and treated like the Saigon pistol execution.
Immediately following the attack, bombing and kidnapping of Maduro, journalists were rounded up around the country.
Our media isn't making a stink about it because they are complicit in the manufacturing of a narrative here and you can't have people in Venezuela contradicting that narrative.
Fight back soon?
The only way we're gonna fight back is when the government takes away something like Netflix or McDonald's.
Getting REAL close to my home fascist pig fucks. I am very please that my State is both concealed and open carry. This shit WILL NOT STOP until they start getting pushed back, HARD. I have been hearing chatter in the streets in regards to 'while you are in the streets kidnapping us, who is watching your house'?
Just like putin’s ruzzia
This is what the 2nd amendment is for
