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.

"There is no constitutional right to ignore federal law." - BHM

What federal laws were being ignored? Furthermore, even if federal laws were being ignored, that isn't worthy of death. Trump has broken many federal laws, is it justified to shoot him?

"The unfortunate protesters broke at least two federal laws each before deadly force was employed." - BHM

Which ones? Don't be a Fox moron and start with the interfering with a federal investigation. That charge would never hold up in court. One person stopping their car on a street is not interfering in a federal investigation. It may be inconvenient for the federal officers, but it isn't interfering with the investigation as that law has ever been understood in a court of law. Besides that is the whole point of peaceful protest. You make things inconvenient for those you are protesting against without breaking the law.

The Trump administration is trying to make peaceful protest equal to interference in an investigation. They know the unthinking cultists like you will lap it up.

"I am not saying the the shootings were justified" - BHM

Actually that is exactly what you have been doing over and over for the past week. You were trying to justify the indefensible.

"....the investigations have not been completed." - BHM

What investigations? The Trump administration is not even investigating the law enforcement officer who shot Good. Instead they are investigating Good's wife. Furthermore, they are blocking state and local officials from access to any information so state and locals could investigate. The reason the Trump administration has been able to get away with no investigations of the officer involved in the Good shooting is because so many people like you who would go out on a limb to justify it.

"But it is not the case these two individuals were only chanting and waving signs as lawful protesters do." - BHM

Right, Good was trying to leave the scene and the other guy was trying to help a woman up who had been pushed into a snow bank. Both of those were peaceful actions.

Why is peaceful protesting limited to chanting and holding signs.

Think for once. Stop being a useful idiot. Seriously, you are helping get Americans killed.
