Dude is of course punished for being a fucking awesome human being.
Luckily he's awesome so he'll probably be ok
I hate this take... the guy is good and resourcefull so it's ok to hit him because he can take it
I didn't define what it means for him to be ok. He may be able to sue, he may find a better job, I am just hopeful that he'll land on his feet since he seems like a good guy. Chill.
Man, what a shitty city council. ‘Oh noes, you hurt our poor widdle feewings! That means your protest was violent!’
So you be clear, you are supportive of protests inside of Capitol buildings and city government? Or interrupting city business with no consequences? You don't see why it might be illegal to protest and trespass from inside a government building?
Except that's not what happened here and nobody said that
Yes it is. He illegally interrupted the city council.
Do you think that Republicans should have the same privileges?
Must be fun going through life making up facts to support your views. You absolute dunce.
So that's fake? He didn't immediately approach the council and kneel in the center of the room?
Watch the whole video and get back to me.
I did. You'll have to point out which part of reality you disagree with.

"I will now engage in the time honored tradition of civil disobedience" - Chris Kluee
Literally quote 5 seconds before he i moves to the center and is arrested.
Yes, I am supportive of peaceful protests in places that can't be easily ignored, in places that disrupt businesses and make people late for work.
The question I always find myself asking is, when it's my turn to protest, if I feel so strongly about something that I literally take to the streets in protest, do I want to be in some out of the way "designated discontent zone" or would I want people to be forced to pay attention to me?
And if it's bad enough that people are willingly being arrested to highlight it, why are we still ignoring their problems?
So yes, it's morally correct to protest for things you believe in, especially when it makes the people in power upset.
I never said he wasn't a great guy or correct or that I'm not supportive.
Civil disobedience has consequences and this thread seems to not understand that concept.
Had this been a Republican, the tone of these comments would be quite different.
According to MAGA asshats, it's patriotic to do so...
And? So because tard mctard face did it, that means there shouldn't be rules of order in public meetinge? Literally shit my 5 year old said.
