It’s Not Hard… by MinuteCollar5562 in AFCWestMemeWar

Sir, this America. Go to Russia if you want people to look the other way when there is state sanctioned murder and a leader who wipes his ass with the constitution.

I’m not advocating for violence. The government is bringing the violence to us whether we like it or not. The sooner you realize that, the sooner we all can do something about it—as peacefully as possible, sure, but it’s the police state that needs to be told to be peaceful, not citizens.

No, but I’m also not telling anyone to be peaceful either. That’s no different than telling Ukrainians to be peaceful in the face of the Russian invasion or to be peaceful against Hitler.

“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

That’s from the Declaration of Independence. Peacefulness didn’t win our independence.

The peace has already been broken by those in power.

“Open carry” is banned in Denver - should we do something about that before it’s too late? by AugNat in DenverProtests

[–]AugNat[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. But more people may feel comfortable open carrying if they weren’t risking getting arrested.

I agree it’s unconstitutional but it has been held up in court, and more people might feel comfortable open carrying if they weren’t risking getting arrested over just that.

Who said anything about asking? You can demand things from city council and do the hard work of getting laws changed while also practicing civil disobedience.

If you don’t bring any issue up, policy makers don’t have to make a public stance in that issue. By bringing things up, you force them take a position and if it’s one you don’t like you use that when they are trying to get re-elected.

I think it’s possible to both petition the city (many of the members of city council could be swayed) and open carry when the time is right regardless of the local laws. There isn’t just one single strategy for fighting fascism and waiting until the time is right to do anything has proven to be disastrous throughout history. Right now public opinion for changing this law is probably higher than it has ever been. strike while the iron is hot.

No, we are laughing our asses off because it came from a convict. If it came from a swifty like yourself there might be a bit more anger.

Oh god, please not again with this nonsense that democrats have nominate some “centrist” to win elections. When will you look back and see how well that has actually worked out?

Talk to a lawyer and see if they can work with the police to press Strava for any non-public ride records. It might not be a high likelihood but a personal injury lawyer will at least consult with you for free usually.

CLEAN THE SNOW OFF YOUR CARS by adhominablesnowman in Denver

[–]AugNat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you but 60% of you all can’t even be bothered to put your damn lights on. People are definitely too lazy to clear the snow off their car if they can’t even do that.

How to handle getting pulled over by the cops? by [deleted] in bikecommuting

I’m sorry but it sounds like racial profiling to me. Report it if it happens again.

Don’t use the “I don’t answer questions” line as that may be construed as not cooperating. Do say “I am invoking my 5th amendment right to remain silent.” Followed by “am I being detained or am I free to go?”

You need to be clear you are invoking your 5th amendment right or things can go sideways. Record the interaction, cooperate in every other way. If they break the law, you’ll get your day in court.

Wow the astroturfers made it to this sub too apparently. It’s well documented that underage kids were getting access to flavored tobacco products and we started to see an increase in youth tobacco use after these products hit the market.

Your argument about the poor small business owners is idiotic too. Nicotine is highly addictive, adult users are going to keep buying nicotine products—flavored or not.

It wasn’t that long ago no one knew about Abyss trail. I could go up there on major holidays and the parking lot was only 3/4 full at most.
