minus-squareMoira_Mayhem@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up39·10 months agoRage and clickbait. This is essentially a civil case turned into something bigger because the person who got hit with a rock was a cop. Had it just been another protester, there would be no call to undermine the 1st amendment. And if SCOTUS goes that route, they will lose a lot of support from their politicians. I mean of course since current SCOTUS is mentally deranged and highly partisan, they may of course still do it. And I have a protest bag already packed and waiting if they do. Remember the important supplies: Bottled water, masks and rags, first aid kit, baking soda to dilute to treat pepper spray Leave your phone and IDs at home This isn’t hyperbole, you have SEEN what SCOTUS is doing and it is time to rattle their rafters with a unified voice.
