100 protestors arrested at immigration rally for refusing to disperse. Wingnut vandals?

[cali]

No arrests that I can find.

8 dem congress members were among those arrested.

Cruz, Palin and Lee are inciting a crowd to break the law. No fucking problem evidently. Wingnut fuckwads vandalize government property and steal it? No arrests yet.

double standard much?

1. No kidding I was thinking the same thing

2. PROOF of their criminal actions

3. It's probably a matter of "Optics"

Somehow I don't think that the image of "illegal immigrants" marching on the Capital Mall demanding their rights resonates with the American public like the image of "war vets" trying to visit the various war memorials.

Especially when a photo like this starts making it way around the 'net.



VietNam vet dragging "Barrycade" to the White House.


Not taking sides here, it just is what it is.

4. he's hardly the only one doing that and I've seen plenty

of left wing handicapped vets arrested in anti-war protests. fuck the optics.

6. When you're an anonymous poster on a discussion board

you can fuck the optics.

When you're the President, not so much.

I'm sure you can appreciate the difference.

7. They should be dragging these to Boehner's office. nt

[legcramp]

8. Of course they should be

But they aren't.

Do you suggest that the park police bring in the water cannons and paddy wagons?

Again, that's easy for you to say as an anonymous poster on a discussion board. There are no repercussions for your words or actions.

9. Chill brother. I didn't suggest any such thing.

I say let 'em have their stupid ass protest.

Nobody will see them, just do a search on Google News for "million vets march" and all you'll find are RW sites covering it. The Blaze. WND. Fox.

They got nothin!

They only out themselves as utter ignorant asshole morons!

5. I blame Reagan for this result of his massive cuts in mental health care programs. nt
