Parent Arrested at Common Core Meeting for Speaking Against it (video)

[Origanalist]

first they came for the trade-unionists, and I said nothing because I was not a trade-unionist...

It should be obvious.

Good.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

I'm just saying that I'm not going to come to someone's defense in a situation I'm not completey sure about. And, surely not over public school curriculum. Maybe, hopefully, someday at an abortion clinic.

Thread title is provocative but this looks like Dont Taze Me Bro for 2013.

The hell it is! That man is standing up, trying to do his part to make sure his kids get a quality education, and being harassed/assaulted and arrested for it!

 

[Origanalist]

Out of rep...

 

[CaseyJones]

Out of rep...

I got it for ya

 

[Origanalist]

I got it for ya

Lol, I have same problem with you.

 

[Pericles]

The officer wasn't hurt, was he?

If you keep posting stuff like that, it won't be much longer until I bust a gut.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Do none of those parents have any balls?

The correct course of action is for every parent in the room to stand up and physically separate the cop from the guy trying to speak.

First clue, security at a PTA meeting.. WTF!

THIS!!

 

[Pericles]

"...Common Core was adopted by MDE three years ago, in exchange for a quarter Billion dollar federal incentive grant..."

This is why the arrogant administrator did not want someone who thinks dare ask him any negative questions about the program...that pays his salary!

Just one more reason to get your children out of the public indoctrinations center--NOW!!

Which is I maintain top priority for the liberty movement is the elimination of the Department of Education. Cut off the money for the indoctrination of the children into communist principles.

 

[Pericles]

This shit won't stop until people make it stop.

The problem in this country is not that we have too much gun violence. The problem is that we do not have enough of the right kind of gun violence.

 

[EBounding]

I could never tolerate treatment like that guy did.

Some joker grabs my arm and jerks me we're going to blows then and there.

Weren't there any men in that room?

One broad spoke up and another stood up.......Have city males been totally emasculated?

Most people have been told since birth to "respeck the police", which means, do whatever they say. My parents told me this as well, but I'll be teaching my kids differently.

 

[Eagles' Wings]

I'm sticking with prudence, Gunny. There are so many issues to confront it is mind boggling.

This. But hell, it doesn't even have to be guns.

 

[Pericles]

This. But hell, it doesn't even have to be guns.

A fortunate series of fatal accidents and suicides would be equally effective.

 

[JK/SEA]

i see what happened...if you look closely, you will see that the speaker in question did not...i repeat...did not bend to one knee and with bowed head, ask the Kings guard for forgivness, and did not apologize for his transgression, followed by asking for permission to speak...

handcuffs indeed. He's lucky.

 

[Origanalist]

Yes.

In my little pea brain there is but one issue..Government.

The whole damn thing is broken and at this point I view the entity like cancer, it needs to be cut out and the surrounding tissue irradiated..

Start with federal government, leave the locals in place just cut off all federal money, for everything!

Folks will quickly learn which services they want to pay for when the federal dollars are gone and they'll learn which politicians actually listen to them...

 

[helmuth_hubener]

I'm loving all the hatred for the government in this thread!

I would offer what may or may not be a useful thought: if we truly do hate these evil bugs, let's try to direct and focus that hatred to maximum effect. Let's try to do things that will actually result in the obliteration of this festering clot of a system. Does that mean assassinating government employees, as people are suggesting? Well, it could, and they richly, richly deserve it, but there are some reasons to think this may not be the best approach. Let me just post an excerpt from the book An Enemy of the State, which explains the problem well:

“You know who killed him, then?” Broohnin's right hand had slipped toward his ankle as the stranger spoke, and now firmly grasped the handle of his vibe-knife.

The silhouette of the stranger's head nodded. “One of my associates. And the reason for this little meet is to inform you that there will be no more assassination attempts on Metep VII.”

The blond man laughed—Broohnin still could not make out any facial features—and there was genuine amusement in the sound.

...

“Poor Den Broohnin! Can't quite accept the fact that there are people other than himself who do not have a price!” The voice took on a sterner tone after a brief pause. “No, my petty revolutionary, we are not here at Metep's bidding. We are here to destroy him. And by ‘him’ I do not mean the man, but everything he represents.”

“Lies!” Broohnin said as loudly as he dared. “If that was true you wouldn't have interfered tonight!”

“How can a man who has built up such an efficient little terrorist group right under the noses of the Imperial Guard be so naïve about the Imperium itself? You're not dealing with a monarchy, my friend, despite all the showy trappings. The Out-world Imperium is a republic. There's no royal bloodline. Metep VII's term is for life, granted, but when he's gone his successor will be elected, just as he was. And should Metep VII be assassinated, a temporary successor will be in his place before the day is out.”

“No! The Imperium will collapse! The people—”

“The people will be terrified!” the stranger said in harsh, clipped tones. “Your ill-conceived terrorism only serves to frighten them into clamoring for sterner laws and harsher measures against dissent. You only end up strengthening the very structure you wish to pull down. And it must cease immediately!”

The stranger paused to allow his words to penetrate. Then: “The only reason you remain alive at this point is because I have some small use for certain members of your organization. I am therefore giving you a choice: you may fit yourself into my plan or you may return to Nolevatol. Should you choose the former, you will meet me in the rearmost booth of the White Hart Tavern on Rocklynne Boulevard tomorrow night; should you choose the latter, you will be on an orbital shuttle by that time. Choose to oppose me and you will not survive one standard day.”

He gave a short, quick bow and strolled back the way he had come. The Flinters disappeared into the darkness with a whisper of sound and Broohnin was suddenly alone once more under his tree. It was as if nothing had happened. As if the entire exchange had been a hallucination.​

A little fuzzy this morning?

What's that supposed to mean?
