It was a public space for everyone to use.

They were standing there not saying word simply holding signs up. It would be different if they had been shouting in peoples face and causing trouble but they weren’t. And the fact that they were arrested over it is obscene.

That’s completely different. They’re having a private funeral, they aren’t in a public space holding a demonstration.

I’m sure our president will blow up 20 children this week with drones.

The 2nd episode of Blindspot deals with drone killings in US.

It’s kind of sad when a TV fiction makes me not doubt that this is happening also in reality.

Yes, and a group of people had it reserved for a political event of their own. Someone came there to interrupt their demonstration (although non-verbally), and that someone was rightfully taken away.

i noticed the western media skipped putins speech .

he raises a very valid point which i never thought about before . ISIS is getting most of its funding from oil it controls .

who is buying it from them and why are we not stopping them from doing so . sanctions etc

Which does not make others rights invalid. It is still a public space, they can just construct small structures, and gather in large numbers.

Not how it works here. If where you live you can just reserve a public area which makes others free speech invalid then you don’t have free speech. Free speech means you can say what you want where you want unpopular or popular. And if you can be lawfully arrested where you come from for that then you don’t have much freedom at all.

In what way did they disrupt it? They were quietly sitting in a corner holding up a sign.

Yeah our president, the one you Europeans think is such a cool guy loves drones.

Actually I think it has now shifted to tax collections in the controlled territories, but I guess they can steal only so much from the people who are left in the place that the oil will again be more important soon. It was boggling in my mind for months, I’d really like to know where the oil is going to.

@sirwarriant Putin says that Russia was supporting the rebels during US war of independence. I just briefly looked at wikipedia and found nothing of the sort. Would you care to shed some light on it?

If your demonstration can be hijacked by the opposing group then your freedom is not worth much. Freedom of speech belongs to all, not only those who can shout the loudest. One of the ways of making sure that everyone can enjoy it is not allowing opposing groups to infiltrate a public demonstration. They are, however, free to state their case as they like, a few steps away from the group they are attacking. It is common sense.

They were never involved in any fighting and officially remained neutral . However the Russians provided huge amounts of diplomatic support and trade . They built a very good resltionship with the colonies and behind closed doors supporting the us independence

#7734

Yes we have that here . If you are planning a large protest . You have to tell the police where and when , they will then provide protection to you while you express your opinion . Any opposing protest has to do the same and they are free to hold a counter argument however a much larger police presence would be there to keep the two groups seperate .

Everyone gets to have their say and people receive minimal injuries

Ive never heard of that, but i do know that Russia sent ships to fight the British during the civil war when jolly old England was backing the south.

It seems @TheDivineInfidel has confirmed that they did, although i fail to see why Putin would bring that up. That was over 200 years ago and the Russian government has gone through several radical changes since then.

How was their demonstration hijacked? There were a few guys sitting quietly in a corner holding up signs. They weren’t being aggressive or even rude, the same cannot be said for the other side. They left wing in the U.S cannot handle opposition, which is why they are huge on censor ship.

Left wingers strip naked and masturbate out side churches, harass pro gun rallies ect, even try extremely hard to get ring wing demonstrations shut down. Yet they are never arrested, they are praised as hero’s.

Go watch some of the countless videos of people physically attacking people holding anti abortion signs, those people are never arrested. But god forbid some guys hold up pro gun signs at an anti gun rally.

he is trying to point out the two nations have a history of supporting eachother and their interests and should be more friendly …what i took from it anyway
