The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I already posted the video of the guy at the Target, being hauled away, in spite of him telling the officers he is a citizen.

When I was in Junior High, my homeroom teacher had lived in the Netherlands, during the occupation. One day, he talked about the time he and two friends were walking down the street, and some German soldiers came after them. They ran for their lives. One of his friends fell behind, and the Germans caught him. He never saw his friend again.

guy minding his own business, gassing up his car, and a phalanx of SA surround him.

The common denominator in all three cases: the people minding their own business, until they were accosted, were brown. Going by the video, the SA drives around, until they see a brown person, then they go after them.

You may want to argue, that, seeing a phalanx of heavily armed, hostile looking, people, coming at you, you should stand there and submit to whatever they want to do. That is your right. But keep in mind the woman who was arrested on the street for demonstrating against Israel. She was in the US legally. She did not resist. She was flown off to a prison in Louisiana.
