Wisconsin, Virginia, North Carolina No Different Than What Is Going On In Gilberton, PA

The thugs who are arresting protesters in the aforementioned states are no different than what it going on in Gilberton. When you can't sing, hold a sign or speak out because of intimidation by the governor and GOP of that state who control the legislature what is really different. If you resist you might just get shot or beaten. When you are threatened with arrest for even watching or filming the Rubicon has been crossed.

When your city has been taken over by the state and its assets are being sold and legal contracts being abolished it is no different. Even when you vote down a law legally and then it is reposed so you cannot challenge it like in Michigan, then something is radically wrong.

And then when voting laws are passed to stop people from voting, we are on the wrong road. People are suffering and some will die because of certain policies that are denying people the ability to live.
