Actually five to one for those of us familiar with how numbers work, but unimportant.
Pictures don't tell a story. Stories tell a story. That's what the thread's about, like it or lump it.
I understand the dimmer set like to look at the pictures on the Peter Principle. Me, I read the actual story. Different strokes.
The OP claimed that there were 40 armed men outside the restaurant, which of us has a problem with numbers again?
My story is that the OP is a lie. It still is, and the picture agrees with me. There is no story you can get from that picture that makes the OP not a lie.
I think we all counted 20 in the picture, but if you want 40 then there are 20 more people whose actions we can't see, so have it your way...
The actual point is that the OP declares "intimidation". That's an opinion about their motivations. Can't be proven to be accurate or not. Therefore neither can it be a "lie".

I'm still trying to get an understanding of what they did that was illegal
Don't think anybody suggested anything illegal.
There's more to rhetoric than the law yanno...
Technically. I just find it interesting from a psychological angle that Pothead wants to dress up as a poor oppressed minority.
But that's his kind of spin. I think he was born under the sign of Vertigo.
I find that Poto's posts seem to address some other topic other than the one that is being discussed in the here and now. He hovers around the outer edges of the conversation in any thread he participates in, jumping on minutiae, posting distracting commentary about things that have no relevance, and attributing false stances to posters, then carrying on a conversation as if those false stances exist anywhere outside his own mind.
I'm thinking about putting him on ignore, because I have yet to find any post of his, anywhere, that actually contributes anything to the discussion. When he is asked questions, he quips "Wrong poster" or "That is not the precise color of tea in the Hebrides" as if those comments actually mean something, or make a point..any point...about the topic that is being discussed. He claimed to not attach false stances to posters...then made a comment about my "theory" and when asked to identify what my theory was, skipped off to some new inanity..and this is what he does in every thread.
He's impossible to engage...and his commentary has no value except to drag the conversation down into the mire. His statements are dishonest and vague, yet he postures as someone who is fully engaged and in control of the conversation, and the victor of the debate. His style hovers somewhere between bad faith, and Parkinson's law of triviality...except he doesn't provide enough substance even to be certainly identified.
In all, highly annoying, pretty distracting, completely without any substance or value as a poster. Verrry reminiscent of fake...think I'm going to pop him onto ignore. If he can get my attention after that, I'll just take to negging him every time I have break through...
^^ entire post that contributes nothing to the topic. Irony alert.
Do you need help finding the Ignore feature?

You know what's REALLY nutty (Luddly)?
Is that the left is seemingly willing to give up a very important Constitutional right in a futile attempt to reduce (in a marginal way) the 2,000 gun related (non-gang) homicides that occur each year in the US.
ONLY 2k non-gang gun homicides in a country of 300,000,000. We've got bigger fish to fry, lol. MUCH bigger fish to fry.
So where is lakeview? He was going to point out which men had changed hats between photos.

so what is really happening here is someone is taking issue with someone elses legal activity. that to me is even a bigger problem. because if it was an illegal activity, they should be arrested or penalized for it. but it wasn't. so this whiny ass anti gun group is now trying to impact someones legal activities. that is the issue. it's like me saying blacks in a large group scare me because they look frightening and intimidating. they shouldn't be allowed to congregate in groups. and we have to change the way they dress.

He gets electroshock therapy on Thursdays. One volt per IQ point...
So a 9-volt battery does the trick...
So, it's ethical to have a meeting to plot strategy for limiting the constitutional rights of citizens, but unethical to engage in counter protest? OK I got you now.

Spoon, you're not listening. You're still trying to make this into legal terms.
This is not a thread about what the law is or who broke it or didn't break it. It's about psychological tactics. The law is not at issue.
Nor did anyone say they "shouldn't be allowed to congregate". That would be law yet again. Leave all that behind. It's not a discussion of laws; more a discussion of ethics. That's why we have differences of opinion -- the law is clear, you either break it or you don't. In ethics it's not cast in stone. All we can do here is offer views.
