You know how most people differentiate between a paintball gun and a real rifle in a drive-by scenario? They don't. They can't. It would be perfectly reasonable to return fire with a lethal weapon.

Uh oh. Thatâs a clear big escalation. Ok, so this dude definitely fits the profile of someone who is becoming so unhinged he will probably do something far worse than a paintball gun soon
Also that should definitely be considered an act of domestic terrorism. You canât have citizens having to deal with unhinged psychos shooting anything at them, and this is a clear attempt to terrorize with the thought of it actually being a gun.
This should be an inescapable prison sentence immediately. Goddamnit world. Youâre really going to do a full civil war huh?
Just like the sadistic elite wanted. The instant they noticed we really, really fucking know who they are⌠they force people to be back at each others throats with ten times the force from before.
I say nope. The epstein class has been, is, and will always be the problem. And we gotta do something about the societal decay and systems that feed the narcissistic among us.
We were all promised not a world of all our dreams coming true. No. That was too good for us from the beginning. Only our parents and grandparents generations were allowed to do that.
But we were promised we could have a life and work hard and enjoy⌠anything⌠ever.
But we were so beyond not ok by 2016 and needed bernie.
And we got nothing but burNING in hell instead. The exact opposite of bernie sanders.
Our society wasnât going to survive without him in 2016. It was clear. And then trump came along and everyone who ever saw gay men kiss on tv suddenly had their revenge plan. Take even more from ourselves and hand it all over to the epstein class to destroy ourselves and future generations for the foreseeable ⌠future? Is there even a future anymore?

He was arrested in a sex trafficking sting. Iâm not sure what his official charges will be, but everyone caught in the sting are being charged with misdemeanor charges except two people. There are a lot of people saying it was a âchild sex trafficking stingâ but it was not, it was agents posing as adult sex workers and arresting the people who were coming to procure said undercover agents. Thatâs not to say that this guy may not have more egregious behavior in his history but he is, unfortunately, probably not going to be charged with anything above a misdemeanor in this instance.

Why wasnât that abhorrent House candidate from Texas arrested for filming herself (for promotion) INSIDE progressive churches and Mosques for disrupting their first amendment protected proceedings?
3
u/Overnoww Feb 11 '26
Exactly. Her thing was way worse overall too because she not only disrupted those people, but she repeatedly slandered them by labeling them a "pedophile church" (whatever the fuck she actually means by that).
Despite my personal disdain for religion (especially organized religion) I can understand arresting the people who interrupted the service to protest, of course that means I would expect the same treatment for any other instance like this regardless of the specific brand of religion being practiced (something I have absolutely 0 faith would actually happen, especially under this administration with their stunningly uneven/hypocritical application of the law that seems more focused on targeting enemies than actually applying the law justly).
That said the idea that Don Lemon's actions were worthy of arrest is laughable. Did his presence change anything for the protestors in a positive way? I'm sure the DOJ will use his footage to help secure their possible convictions (which I imagine will be pretty difficult in Minnesota). He was documenting their actions, very clearly did not voice an opinion on said actions from what I've seen so far, and he provided a platform for the churchgoers to voice their displeasure with the protestors' behaviour.
This administration manages to be both a complete joke and terrifying simultaneously.

I donât understand the focus on Lemon, when they could be focusing on who truly led the protest into the church and building a better case.
Iâm not saying theyâll win the case, it would just look less stupid, less spread out, and have a better chance of withstanding court scrutiny.

Not one single person was prevented from worshiping their god. No member of the congregation was intimidated or harassed for worshiping their god.
