    Two people just got 50 years in prison as a mandatory minimum for allegedly slashing tires and setting off fireworks.

    They’re already cracking down hard. We’re past the justification part.

      You think this is cracking down hard? This is foreplay to them. Cracking down hard is when all pretext is gone and they start openly killing and jailing their political enemies and stripping them of their rights. This is them trying to get their opponents to take the bait and give them flimsy justification to do anything they want.

        They are literally already doing whatever they want what the fuck are you talking about.

          You must be young. Study history to see how bad things can get. OR just keep impotently bitching about it on the internet. Im sure that will help change things.

        Well be good, don’t resist and lick them boots clean and maybe they won’t hurt you. Lots of us aren’t going to do it.

          Ok internet tough guy haha. Really easy to say this on the internet and in the safety of your homes. But when the boot gets placed on your neck, you’ll lick it like 99% of the rest of them.

          But dont let me get in the way of your totally normal and not weird as fuck power fantasy.
