In reply to the discussion: Student arrested after video mocking Charlie Kirk mourners goes viral [View all]Lurker Deluxe
(1,075 posts)43. Most remember ...
What they did, and they were good at it, was to push the limits of free speech and taunt entities to act illegally in order to sue them.
They wanted people to punch them in the face.
They wanted the local government to ban their speech.
They wanted the counterprotest to be violent.
So they could sue, and make money, it was all about making money.
I have recently seen a video of some dumbass stomping through a Kirk memorial, kicking shit and destroying as much as possible before being yanked by some MAGATs. If he were just yelling and taunting and he got yanked ... he could sue. But no ... he was being an ass. Agree or not, keep you hands to yourself, do not destroy shit.
It really is not that hard.

NO. It doesn't say what she DID. It says what arresting officers CLAIM she did. (nt)

No, its not... but it IS the district attorney's job to elect not to prosecute and dismiss the matter outright.
