[kj] (OT) Dangerous Dancing?

[Brendan Quinn]

The last several administrations in the US have done more to denigrate the
memory of the forefathers than a bunch of 'dirty whiney hippies' did by
dancing. 

 

How can you say you have a democracy when you don't get democratic outcomes?
Who got to vote over the hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars spent
to bail out the banks who created a global Ponzi scheme which dissolved
around themselves? Was that the will of the people, was it in their best
interests? Who would have voted for that? 

 

Perhaps the one in seven Americans who use foodstamps.

 

Or the 938 000 people who were turned down for - mainly part time -
McDonalds jobs.

> ..its just ingrained......   


 

  that, what.. despite the Constitution & the Bill Of Rights (that should be
ingrained deeper than anything else even police may 'encourage'/'discourage'
at any given place/moment) stating all unstated rights are the People's
unless expressly legislated by Congress, that despite such 'quaint' and
'antiquated' principles (they are 200+ yrs.old, after all) we shouldn't do,
nay, we are wrong and fuckeen' criminals - outlaws! - in doing!, anything
that, at most, the police won't like simply because they don't like? 
Is there a law criminalizing "F[ucking] around and be[ing] 'cute'?" That
would be THE ONLY decision worthy of defending then, not that (just/only)
some cops just didn't like it. Right? I mean, LAWS are supposed to be
defended, not cops' pet-peeves, and not cops just because they're cops and
our love for Authorit-[attach suffix of choice here]. Right? I guess.. dunno
anymore. 

 


> ..and were provoking the cops...


 

So, being [only] a smart-ass is now illegally Criminal (redundancy for
emphasis)? I'm guessing if they would've actually crossed the line (i.e. the
Law) you wouldn't hesitate a second to say so, so I may assume that you
meant only a smart-ass? 

I think the comment about that misses the real point, that the cops can
indeed be provoked (by self or others) over something not rising to the
legal-&-Constitutional standard of what is sufficient for A COP - not you,
not me, not even a reasonable citizen-bystander - being provoked over. Or do
the police now interpret the Constitution, the Bill Of Rights, and every
other prekkin' law out there now, or law-to-be AND set their own thresholds
for provokation, as opposed to the Law?

 


> ..you gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk

away- that was a walk away 

    instance--those guys got exactly what they knew they had coming... 

 

Since the subject is people's rights (to gather, assemble, dance, not take
legally unsupportable police policy lying down, and similar) to the dancers'
decision to dance, then your comment can reasonably be understood as, "you
gotta know when to hold [your rights], know when to fold [your rights], know
when to walk away [from your rights], - that was a walk away [from your
rights] instance-- I'm sure it is - for some.

 


> ..those guys got exactly what they knew they had coming...


 

  According to what law (whether statutory or case), Constitutional
amendment, or section of the Bill Of Rights? 

 

If we're gonna live acquiescing without question whenever Authorit-[attach
suffix of choice here] arbitrarily decides it wants from us, well, there's
plenty of countries already there where that's already existed since
Forever. If we're gonna live in America, we need to fuckin' show some spine.

I met that guy Adam at a (organized) Rally a few weeks before- the one for
the Amish farmer the FDA raided...

 anyway, well being from the DC area its just ingrained  you don't really go
and F around and be 'cute' at the monuments and memorials...

 

 I'm all for freedom of speech, expression and organizing, and on paper that
was really F'ed up and totally silly- but at the same time they were being
smart asses and were provoking the cops- The cops did warn them and warned
the guy Adam like 2-3 times before they put him down. I didn't see how any
of that (on Adam) was really excessive, esp since he was resisting- he could
have got it worse (which I get the feeling, that's what he was hoping for) 

 you gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk
away- that was a walk away instance--those guys got exactly what they knew
they had coming to them after the cops warned them and they started being
smart asses...
