    at least that's the Tucker narrative anyway. No matter what cucker says, insurrectionists are not in the same category as ppl breaking shit.

    So Warner directed 'a high-powered, green laser' in the eyes of multiple police officers and also physically assaulted the officers. All of it caught on video. I guess this is your definition of "ppl breaking shit".

    source? Do you even read what you post? Also, dailymail lol. I see no mention of physical assault or any temporary or permanent damage done to the officers' eyesight.

    Warner was accused of directing 'a high-powered, green laser' in the eyes of multiple police officers who attempted to break up the crowd. Officers found 'a black, pen-style laser pointer' in her possession.

    Laser pointers are used in protests and riots to distract or temporarily flashblind people. They can cause eye injuries and have the potential to cause permanent damage.

    She resisted arrest
    during the riots forcing officers to use to take her into custody, the reported stated.

    Warner was booked and charged with misdemeanor charges of unlawful directing of light from a laser pointer, interfering with a peace officer, and disorderly conduct
    and released the same day without bail.

    Nearly a week later, Warner was arrested again at a protest that turned violent as the crowd threw fireworks, rocks, golf balls, glass and other items at police officers working to disperse the crowd.

    Warner was arrested charged with a misdemeanor of criminal mischief on August 15, 2020. She was released the same day without posting bail.

    Portland police declared another riot on the night of August 22, 2020 as the crowd pelted officers again with fireworks, rocks, golf balls and glass, among other things.

    Warner was taken into custody for the third time that month. She was charged with misdemeanors of interfering with a peace officer and disorderly conduct
    . She was released again without bail.

    The prosecution did not pursue any of these charges.

    Following her third arrest, Warner was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service in a southeast Portland apartment without incident on September 2, 2020.

    She appeared in court the next day and was charged by federal criminal complaint with a felony of civil disorder in connection to her first arrest.

    The case was investigated jointly by the FBI and the U.S. Marshals and prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Oregon.

    If she pointed the laser at the officers' eyes she should be charged. What's so complicated about that?

    So you are just confirming everything I stated. Tell me... why since January 20, 2021 the federal prosecutors appointed by Biden have been going soft on violent ANTI FA rioters while throwing harsher sentences on those present on January 6th (even those who committed no violence). I believe they should throw the book at both the Jan 6th insurrectionists and the ANTIFA rioters equally -- they all deserve prison time.

    again w/the reading comprehension.... Tell me when SHE specifically physically assaulted anyone. Tell me where the prosecution stated that the laser she carried was of of the wattage and kind to cause injury or loss of vision (i read what thedailymail lol published). Show me the doctors' documentation in which officers lost temporary or permanent eyesight.

    Good luck w/your whataboutism of an armed mob attempting an armed coup and people protesting and getting rowdy (quite possibly after being driven there by LEO thugs). May I suggest N.Korea for your next home since you want people getting bullets in the back of the head for spray painting statues?

    Maybe Russia is more your speed?

    Yep... it's felony time for protestors blocking traffic. Long overdue.

    A BLM Protestor Is Being Charged With False Imprisonment For Blocking Freeway Traffic
    https://jalopnik.com/a-blm-protestor-is-being-charged-with-false-imprisonmen-1848461108

    One Black Lives Matter protester has been singled out with charges of false imprisonment after he was singled out during a protest in 2021 that blocked traffic on the 101 Freeway in San Luis Obispo, the local Tribune reports.

    Last summer, Amman Asfaw and 300 other BLM protestors gathered near Mitchell Park in San Luis Obispo. The group ended up marching several miles to the 101 freeway, where they blocked traffic in both directions for an hour.

    Asfaw and the protest’s organizer, Tianna Arata, all face charges as a result of the protest, but Asfaw is the only one facing a misdemeanor charge of false imprisonment. Asfaw’s lawyers want the charges dismissed saying that he was exercising his constitutional rights. From the Tribune:

    Asfaw’s legal team filed an invitation to dismiss the charge Jan. 13, stating the activist was simply exercising his First Amendment right to free speech and freedom to assemble.


    A person is said to commit false imprisonment when they restrain another person to a single area, restricting their free motion. That Asfaw is the only protester to face those charges when several others were arrested, though, is strange.

    His attorneys are also claiming racism, saying the DA is singling Asfaw out because he is Black. They point to the misdemeanor charge as an example of that:

    To utilize a statute designed to prevent people from holding a person hostage and apply it to a Black Lives Matter activist who participates in a rally is an egregious abuse of prosecutorial discretion aimed at chilling free speech,” the filing said.

    In his defense, Asfaw’s lawyers claim that he didn’t block traffic. Instead, he was in the crosswalk near the freeway. In the filing, they claim that a white sedan attempted to literally push him out of the way. Other protestors rushed to aid him by standing between him and the vehicle to prevent him from being run over. They even claim that Asfaw thanked the driver for hearing him out.

    One part of their defense, though, is really shit. I’d fire my lawyers for saying something like this:

    They said the event equated to a minor inconvenience for the driver of the white sedan and lasted about “six minutes less than the time Officer Derek Chauvin knelt on the neck of George Floyd.”

    There’s no connection at all there.

    The DA claims that Asfaw did impede traffic. In a response to his lawyer’s filing, the DA says that not only did Asfaw and the protestors block the driver (who they say was attempting to do a U-turn before the protestors stopped him), but they also forced the driver to listen to their message. The DA says that those actions could be defined as “detaining motorists,” something Asfaw had no right to do. They also claim no racial bias, as Asfaw wasn’t singled out — he was just the easiest to identify out of the 300 people. They also pointed to others who aren’t Black that have been charged. But again, Asfaw is the only one to have been charged with false imprisonment.

    The DA office is declining to drop the false imprisonment charge with a trial-setting conference set for May 6, 2022.
