Was it a stun gun or a Jewish space laser?
officers grabbed the man, later identified by the police as REDACTED of Atlanta, and dragged him out of the room.
The man's identity should not be allowed to be publicly blasted to the media by police for checks notes NOT committing a crime.
However, the officer's names probably should.
The official attitudes about this are interesting. In some countries they're more worried about protecting the privacy of the accused. In other countries they identify the accused because they're worried about people being disappeared.
I'll redact my post.
Was nothing against you just the concept of outing innocent people the way the police and media do
So this gutter slime can stand up at a State of the Union in a hooker skirt and disrupt the speech, but anyone disrupting her gets stun gunned?
Hey y'all, in case you haven't noticed, American fascism is here.
Buy a gun. Train. Help others purchase guns. Help them train.
A "hooker skirt?" Isn't that a little misogynistic?
If there's a video, I didn't see it. But his jeering couldn't have been any worse than what Empty-G's done during House sessions or the SOTU or at a Parkland survivor.
"Rules for thee but not for me!"
These fucking clown gaping mouth breathers need to be filled with FACTS and the constitution vs their “husbands” showing their junk to underage girls… and thinking “Pizzagate”, was truly a thing!!
Marge disrespects her fellow Neanderthals and every other Homo Sapien by believing “dems are drinking the blood of children”, “thinking that Ohio immigrants are EATING cats and dogs”, YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP!
These GOP followers truly believe her and her trash even against school shooting victims!!
DEAR GOP MEMBERS… DO FUCKING BETTER AND USE CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS!! Otherwise, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM AND THE EMBARRASSMENT OF AMERICA! … What did you learn?
The GOP “party” doesn’t give a fuck about you unless you make over a million … and that’s truly because they want your “donation” …
“The American Experiment” IS A FUCKING FAILURE! Cut the losses and help the people, otherwise, you are no better than North Korea!
identified by the police as REDACTED
REDACTED is such a sturdy name. I wonder if it's a new naming trend.
Identified by the police as THIS MAN NEVER EXISTED
She wants so desperately to be Eva Braun. But Trump won't even look at her.
Gotta be a homo sapien to qualify first.
Hey now, that's disrespectful to Neanderthals. Some scientists actually believe the Neanderthals were actually stronger and smarter than homo sapiens. But they were less social, and formed smaller tribes that were easy for the larger homo sapien tribes to pick off and enslave.
Weird way of saying extinction by snu snu.
Honestly, that Neanderthal has a beautiful, happy face.
Just to clarify for people scrolling through, the actual Neanderthal face is on the right.
Those were the days. Return to tradition.
You're thinking of Loomer. MTG wants to be in charge of the eventual "Department of Un-American Affairs"
I think they both do, honestly. Didn't they get into a fight right around the time Loomer was riding Trump's plane?

This is a prime MAGAt. I am sure she loved a little torture with her town hall.
I expect Xitter will be full of “don’t taze me bro” spinoffs
On second thought the bots aren’t that smart.
She hates when people are louder than she is
being putins mouthpiece in the house, she has to bark every few months.
Summary of TFA: A couple people got dragged out, but the klan rally was mostly uninterrupted.
People there like her. Because they are awful like all people.
How is this a summary of The Force Awakens?
Two Factor Authentication?
Teach For America?
The Free Article?
I literally have no idea what TFA means. We either need a sticky with acronyms or people should spell stuff like this out so I, and likely others, can understand what it means.
The/This/That fucking article?
Perhaps? I’ll wait for the commenter to say. It’s probably likely.
TFA = The Fucking Article
Thank you! I never know if the acronyms are something I am completely missing for context.
Fuck Magic The Gathering
I still think that everytime I read MTG
She has been such bad press for the brand.
Someone needs to discharge a stun gun in that dumb cunt’s fucking mouth
Yeah, stun gun, sure.

I'm not well versed in property law, but the article says that the rally was at a community center. Does that necessarily imply that this is public, rather than private property? And if so, what possible justification could there be for the police to violently subdue people for exercising their freedom of speech on public property? Legal justification, that is. The MAGAts would obviously cite their hatred for all things pertaining to American freedoms (save those directly to do with bearing arms) as justification.
Just because the property is public doesn't mean the public can do whatever they want in it. People who are interrupting whatever is going on can definitely be removed from the proceedings.
And cops use violence with impunity, so legalities are moot there.
This is not an endorsement of what happened, just the legal justification for removing a person from an event at a public building.
Just because the property is public doesn’t mean the public can do whatever they want in it
Yes, but what those people were doing was exercising their first amendment rights. It's not like they were going around punching people, or shouting "Fire!". And considering that they were there attending a town hall, it's really hard to make the case that they were loitering.
People who are interrupting whatever is going on can definitely be removed from the proceedings.
I don't know that that's true, legally speaking. I am, however, ignorant of a great many things, and this is definitely one area in which I feel a profound deficiency. But just because people routinely get abused in this way by the police doesn't necessarily imply that it is legal for them to do so. As you point out in your next sentence, cops use violence with impunity, and our justice system tends to look the other way when they do.

Rules for thee.
In Idaho, a woman spoke out and was dragged out by security.
Why use stun guns? I thought these GOP slavery fans would have preferred to whip the disobedience out of the protesters with a cowhide or a bullwhip to keep their southern traditional values.
When I stun gun my customers, I go out of business.
Those protesters should have shot back.
I wish she’d go the fuck away already!
