Never learned to code beyond Basic, so I am not fit to be a journalist. Typing colon and parenthesis 🙂 gives the smiley, colon and zero gives another emoji. Seems to work. 🙂 :0 Nope colon and 0 doesnt work. Maybe :O Nope.

I smile a lot when I’m not ranting on a blog comment thread!
And I try to use lots of non-violent speech and silence.

PS How do you code the emoji? It didn’t copy through.

The preference is no arrest at all, for anything except wrong think, wrong speech, or wrong silence, or you are just the wrong color ….. Keep smiling! 😉

That’s what Reps mostly say, and those who love America believe. Including Black Lives Matter. And White, and Brown, and Blue (Police). And even pre-born — to the pro-life folk.

I can’t help but fantasize about hundreds of lawsuits against the Dems in media and colleges who are supporting the protests and riots and, essentially, the killing. But I know it won’t happen … so the Dem support of riots will continue.

“The absurdly high bail amounts indicate that what we’re seeing is not a measured pursuit of justice, but a politically motivated attack on the movement for police reform and accountability,” the group tweeted.
[A quickly mobilized “grass roots” organization called “Lancaster Stands Up.”]

The bail amount also came under fire from Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who called it “blatantly unconstitutional.”

“It’s self-evidently unconstitutional,” Fetterman told Lancaster Online. “Whatever the merit of the underlying charges, what is absolutely indefensible is a million dollar bail for those charges.”

Just a reminder of what the Left now considers as obligatory qualifications for martyrdom.

The officer involved in the shooting was responding to a 911 call placed by Munoz’s mother, who said that her son was getting “aggressive” and attempted to break into her home.

His family has said he has a history of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and was not taking his medication at the time.

Munoz was scheduled to go on trial for allegedly slashing four people in a knife attack in 2019.

According to RedState setting the bail for those arrested at $1,000,000 seems to have have discouraged participation in last night’s “mostly peaceful protest.” That and arresting dolts.

I’m sure the National Lawyers Guild and ACLU are already searching for a judge to stop this threat to “mostly peaceful protesting.”

Misdirection as to the source of existential danger to the United States is part of the Left’s agenda, of course. Christian Patriots (the genuine ones) dislike Fascism because it directly conflicts with basic tenets of both biblical doctrine and the Constitution.
However, there are many Democrats we could name who do don flags as Mantles of Virtue Signaling when it suits their purposes, and who brandish the cross to distract us from their anti-Christian policies.

This seems to accord more closely with the reality we are witnessing:
“When Anarchy comes to America, it will be burning the flag and pissing on a cross”

What would your local law enforcement’s response be? What would it be if you had to use force to defend yourself?

And that growing uncertainty and lack of confidence is exactly what the Left wants to provoke.
