Have Mommy feed you your bottle.

You’re the one sacred shitless of Muslims. Pussy.

Why does the right hate the fact folks can protest unjust laws and policies?

What you call protest we call blackmail

 

[gipper]

If they are truly for the people living in Gaza, they may opose Israeli actions but must also denounce Hamas.

Your enemy has killed you for decades and stolen your land. This enemy has one of the most advanced militaries in the world. The only group that can offer some opposition is Hamas, but you think Palestinians should turn on them. I’d say that‘s foolish.

Blackmail? How?

This should be good. Lol.

 

[westwall]

I know. But the question is, "Who has been arrested?"

Without a doubt, the left is absolutely accepting of silencing speech that they disagree with, but as far as I know, no one has been actually arrested for their rhetoric. Not even student protestors.

All legal and police action taken against student protests have been legitimate violations of law.

A man has been jailed for 7 months for tweeting a meme about Hillary during the election

This certainly exposes the right as hypocrites. They like to wrap themselves in the Bill of Rights and espouse the words of the Founders.

You have a source for that? One which is not biased by the main stream?

 

[Mac-7]

The students are disrupting the university till they get their way

 

[Superbadbrutha]

That doesn't bother us in the slightest. What bothers us is when your goons commit violence against the normal folks going about their lives.

Protest on the sidewalk all you want. But block a bridge and expect to get run over.

You know damn well your weak ass isn't going to run over a rabbit.

Blocking university entrances to Jewish students and disrupting classes goes beyond speech

 

[westwall]

Yeah, look up meme prison sentence

No land has been stolen.

I have in the past given consideration to the information leading to this kind of kalb thinking. I have seen it refuted and no longer acknowledge it as credible.

 

[westwall]

You know damn well your weak ass isn't going to run over a rabbit.

Funny how you ignore the point I was making. Well, not really, you really are an idiot.

 

[Darkwind]

Yeah, look up meme prison sentence

No. If you don't have something to provide context to your statement, I will not jump through your hoops.

I'm on a phone and can't do links. Tomorrow when I am on a computer I can post a link.

His name is Douglass Mackey. No hoops, just facts.

 

[Mac-7]

You make a fool of yourself every day, with your ignorant support of the racist apartheid regime committing a genocide. Yet you somehow think you’re more knowledgeable than college kids. lol. Not likely.

College students have no life experience to go with their “book learning”

They are like Italian sports-cars in the 1950,

A powerful engine, but weak suspensions and no brakes, driven by blind liberalism

Hamas precipitated this sacrifice of the people of Gaza with total indifference. Netanyahou aided and abetted them. Both wanted expanded violence for their own agenda. Neither really cared what it would cost their people. That's the eternal problem with ideologues. Gazans and Israeli are both suffering from misguided "leadership". Both should revolt against it.

Defendant Attempted to Trick Voters Into Believing They Could Vote By Text Message

Douglass Mackey, was sentenced today by United States District Judge Ann M. Donnelly to 7 months in prison for his role in a conspiracy to interfere with potential voters’ right to vote in the 2016 election for the Office of the President of the United States. Douglass Mackey, also known as “Ricky Vaughn,” was previously convicted of the charge of Conspiracy Against Rights at trial by a federal jury in Brooklyn. Mackey was convicted of the charge in March 2023 following a three-week trial.

Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Acting Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, and James Smith, Assistant Director-in-Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office (FBI), announced the sentence.

“One of the foundational rights we hold as Americans, a right that many fought so hard to obtain, is the right to vote. The defendant weaponized disinformation in a dangerous scheme to stop targeted groups, including black and brown people and women, from participating in our democracy,” stated United States Attorney Peace. “This groundbreaking prosecution demonstrates our commitment to prosecuting those who commit crimes that threaten our democracy and seek to deprive people of their constitutional right to vote.”

As proven at trial, by 2016, Mackey had established an audience on Twitter with approximately 58,000 followers. A February 2016 analysis by the MIT Media Lab ranked Mackey as one of the most significant influencers of the then-upcoming presidential election. Between September 2016 and November 2016, Mackey conspired with other influential Twitter users and with members of private online groups to use social media platforms, including Twitter, to disseminate fraudulent messages that encouraged supporters of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to “vote” via text message or social media which was legally invalid.

For example, on November 1, 2016, in or around the same time that Mackey was sending tweets suggesting the importance of limiting “black turnout,” the defendant tweeted an image depicting an African American woman standing in front of an “African Americans for Hillary” sign. The ad stated: “Avoid the Line. Vote from Home,” “Text ‘Hillary’ to 59925,” and “Vote for Hillary and be a part of history.” The fine print at the bottom of the deceptive image stated: “Must be 18 or older to vote. One vote per person. Must be a legal citizen of the United States. Voting by text not available in Guam, Puerto Rico, Alaska or Hawaii. Paid for by Hillary For President 2016.” The tweet included the typed hashtag “#ImWithHer,” a slogan frequently used by Hillary Clinton. On or about and before Election Day 2016, thousands of unique telephone numbers texted “Hillary” or some derivative to the 59925 text number, which had been used in multiple deceptive campaign images tweeted by Mackey and his co-conspirators.

Several hours after tweeting the first image, Mackey tweeted an image depicting a woman seated at a conference room typing a message on her cell phone. This deceptive image was written in Spanish and mimicked a font used by the Clinton campaign in authentic ads. The image also included a copy of the Clinton campaign’s logo and the “ImWithHer” hashtag.

This case was investigated by the FBI.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Erik D. Paulsen and F. Turner Buford of the Eastern District of New York’s Public Integrity Section and Trial Attorney William J. Gullotta of the Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section.

Now, I will agree that people are stupid enough to all for the nonsense of voting from home (Separate from casting a mail-in vote), but that does not mean you can try to defraud people.

It will be interesting to see if this is appealed, because I think it should be. Clearly, because someone acts stupidly on information received over the internet is a cause for ridicule, I don't know that it arrises to the level of a crime.

The government does NOT get to determine what is and is not 'disinformation' nor do they get to determine how any information is used by people.

Either way, he was not jailed for a meme.

Agreed. But there is a major distinction you left unmentioned.

Israel is the aggressor. It has killed and stolen the land of the Palestinians for decades. Israel is an occupying force that has committed atrocities against Palestinians. Naturally, the Palestinians respond by fighting back and committing atrocities. It’s a big circle of violence.

The thing is as we’ve seen on this forum many Americans ONLY know about Pali atrocities, but know nothing of Israeli atrocities. They’ve been propagandized and conditioned to support Israel even to the extent of supporting mass murder of innocent women and children.

These college kids haven’t suffered from decades of Zionist propaganda. So, they can see a genocide.
