Get used to. Now that they have MSM, and US Congress behind them and have finally succeeded at overthrowing the US government - they are never gong to stop using it to get people to hate and attack whoever they want.

K: so, which part of the attack upon the capital by groups such as the "proud boys"
falls under free speech or the right to "peacefully assembly?"
if you attack the capital building in the hopes of overthrowing the government,
a coup attempt as it were, then how is that free speech? or how is that a
"peaceful assembly?"
unless you stretch the meaning of the words, free speech to include the violent
attack upon the United States of America and somehow stretch the meaning of
"Peaceful assembly", to include violent insurrection, you don't really have a leg
to stand on in this case.... banning has nothing to do with free speech or the
right to "peacefully assemble"... and had everything to do with the violent
attempt to overthrow the government...
now the second little piece of this puzzle is the fact that, despite popular
belief such as yours, Canada and America are two different countries
with different set of laws and practices...
I cannot speak to what is Canada policy is on free speech or on popular assembly...
I simply don't know enough of Canada's laws to make any determination as to
if this is legal or not....I only know that they have banned the group the "proud boys"
and I would ask that America does the same based on the fact that the "proud boys"
were willing and able participants in the attempted coup of American's government...
their attacks on the nations capital wasn't about free speech and it wasn't about
"peaceful assembly"...so don't get fooled into making this a free speech or a
peaceful assembly issue....it isn't....

Those who support them, are also terrorists. We also see that on this forum as their side threatens violence because they cannot argue rationally.

In jail?
You may say: it's only members of the organization committing the crime, not the organization. Well, for a terrorist group, it's the organization conspiring and calling for the violence.
It would be like accusing Walmart of trying to offer low prices, and then Walmart's defenders saying that it was only their cashiers who were offering the low prices.

I hope we do the same here and then include any white supremist group
like the GOP and the KKK, as domestic terrorist organization........

i wouldn't think so

even more so
if it becomes proven

The issue is that people like Peter K want all "civil disobedience" which does not agree with their political views to be designated as "terrorism." Being designated a terrorist means all your Constitutionally protected rights gets instantly stripped away. Nothing then stands between you and the crushing power of the state. What's most cringe worthy is how people like Peter K collectively give themselves a pat on the back ( as if they were standing up to the bad guys! ) as they virtue-signal for the consolidation of governmental powers (which will just as likely be used against them). It's like watching a demented parade of imbeciles honking their horns for peace, love and unity as they march towards totalitarianism... And they find all this "fabulous!" (exclaimed with a gay lisp)

Apparently not if you're you.
But if an organization is cop-killing, plotting violence and harm to people... then fuck yes that is terrorism.i wouldn't think so

You don't have a right to plot murder or harm to people in a free society.
At least not in Canada.
...But you can start the Proud Boys, as a Canadian did. Until you get violent.even more so

Weird... you think it is OK to silence (i.e., jail) the people after their crime, but not silence them while they are planning it? ...Isn't it a crime to plan violence/terror...?
phoneutria wrote:yes, it is
i believe i made that very clear
that people caught planning violence should be dealt with
with all rigor of the law
where does that make it ok
to declare an entire organization of people to be terrorists?
also appalled at vonrivers
for taking the defense side
of this kind of precedent
a federal decision
on what subjects get to be spoken about
apparently there have been 2 individuals charged with conspiracy so far
you're defending outlawing an organization due to there being 2 alleged criminals in it
those people are subject to the law
but the group MUST NOT BE SILENCED
