I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

Do Not Look Away From Evil

I don't know what bystanders could have done to actively intervene; I get that. I have been within a few feet of a beating inflicted in public by strong young males on several occasions. It's breathtaking how severe of a damage can be inflicted by a young male human in just seconds, and although I wanted to help, there was nothing I could do physically. To physically step in between the perp and the victim looked to me akin to stepping into a tornado. Made of whirling bricks.

But what I do see in the all-too-common videos of violence that have been captured and posted in this modern cellphone age is a distinct change in the ATTITUDE of the bystanders. The default behavior seems to be apathy, disengagement, or even glee. If I were near this assault I would have at least been screaming, calling 911, looking actively for police etc. What I saw from the bystanders instead was a lot of "Huh. Would you look at that?"

NYPD said that NO ONE EVEN CALLED 911 during or after this assault. Cops saw the victim laying on the sidewalk as they were driving by after the attack. I understand being afraid to physically intervene, but as you mentioned, someone could have at least called the police. I don't know about the liability of the security officers, but I couldn't imagine any liability related to calling the police or checking on the victim to see if she were even alive. I couldn't imagine laying on the sidewalk, …

"To physically step in between the perp and the victim looked to me akin to stepping into a tornado. Made of whirling bricks." Yeah. Unfortunately, "stepping in" in situations like this is like jumping in front of a train to save someone who's tied to the tracks. It creates two corpses instead of one. Like you, what bothers me is that no one tried to do ANYTHING. :-(

The victim's daughter has publicly thanked an anonymous bystander for yelling at the attacker to distract him during the attack. If the victim's daughter can thank this person, I think it's worth mentioning that it happened so wanted to share. https://www.foxnews.com/us/nyc-asian-assault-victim-good-samaritan-diverted-attackers-attention

Can you imagine if scores of white gangs had been r*ping thousands of Muslim girls? Would Jess Philips and Starmer's Stormtroopers be opposed to a national inquiry then?

How is it that more people have been locked up for kicking off outside a Rotherham asylum seeker hotel than have ever been jailed for r*ping, grooming and trafficking over a thousand white working-class girls in the very same town?

UNREAL.

Cities in Britain are now working to BAN Christians from handing out Bibles and praying for people on the street because it can be "offensive" to the public.

Freedom of religion is under attack in Soviet Britain.

This is literally North Korea stuff.
