Re: Here We Go Again (Minneapolis, MN)
American hero right here, and good neighbors too. THIS is the America I love:
When Washington, D.C., resident Rahul Dubey realized dozens of protesters were facing pepper spray and arrest for violating curfew Monday night, he did what he says anyone else would do: He invited about 70 people into his home, to spend the night.
The protesters had been herded into Swann Street near Dupont Circle, as police forces around the city used helicopters and flash-bang munitions in a crackdown on anyone violating a 7 p.m. curfew.
By the time they reached Dubey's home, the protesters, many of them young, were desperate to get away. But they were hemmed in by police.
"They unleashed sheer hell on peaceful protestors right outside my stoop," Dubey tells NPR's All Things Considered. "I don't know, I just flung the door open. And I just kept yelling, 'Come in. Get in the house, get in the house...
..."Rahul saved lives last night," one Black Lives Matter activist wrote on Twitter. "He ended this with an inspirational speech about not giving up and keeping up the peaceful fight. What a guy. Thank you Rahul."

But for hours, the police did not go away. Dubey, worried that anyone who left the house might be accused of breaking in, went around to each of his new guests, handing out his business card so anyone who ran into trouble could get in touch.
"They waited for us, man, like predators, so they could arrest us. We were doing no wrong in my house — I even said, 'They're my guests.' "
Eventually, help arrived from outside.
"My neighbors brought pizza — I'd never met them," Dubey says.

It sickened me yesterday to see security personnel—including members of the National Guard—forcibly and violently clear a path through Lafayette Square to accommodate the president's visit outside St. John's Church. I have to date been reticent to speak out on issues surrounding President Trump's leadership, but we are at an inflection point, and the events of the past few weeks have made it impossible to remain silent.
Whatever Trump's goal in conducting his visit, he laid bare his disdain for the rights of peaceful protest in this country, gave succor to the leaders of other countries who take comfort in our domestic strife, and risked further politicizing the men and women of our armed forces

Re: Here We Go Again (Minneapolis, MN)
Let's not forget that the PEACEFUL protestors were given until the 7pm curfew to clear out, and the federal police decided to gas and attack them 25 minutes BEFORE that for Trump's photo-op. BDK will be here in a while to defend Trump's actions...something something about peaceful protestors needing to learn a lesson.kalm wrote: ↑Tue Jun 02, 2020 6:41 pmhttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archi ... d_bn_fb_bnI Cannot Remain Silent

Re: Here We Go Again (Minneapolis, MN)
No cheering for death over here, even if it's someone I disdain. I encourage nonviolence, but have come to realize that "I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed," as someone who is MUCH more intelligent than me once said.
Freedom is messy, and tragedies will exist in its pursuit.
