    Props to that woman for not giving into the fear and standing her ground.

    We’re going to need a lot of people like her

    This made me physically ill watching. This also proves 2 things.

    First, don’t let these fuckers on your property without a signed warrant. They can’t do anything if you stand your ground like these people.

    2nd, the police will not protect you. Even the cops on the phone told them just hand her over.

    Stand your ground, ask for a signed warrant and don’t listen to their fake ass threats of harboring.

      How the hell do you even verify a warrant? I still wouldn’t consent to a search. I wouldn’t resist, sure, but I ain’t opening the door.

      Also, know your damn rights. Notice that they didn’t leave until she specifically said that they did not have permission to be on her property.

      Law enforcement is considered to have implicit permission to come to your house, provided you have a route of access that is publicly accessible, like a sidewalk or a driveway (that isn’t gated). But that implicit permission is overridden if you explicitly withdraw permission. It’s good that they knew not to let them in without a warrant (though they didn’t have to open the door, or even answer it), but you also need to say “You do not have permission to be on my property.” No matter how much you cuss them out, if you don’t say it, it doesn’t count.

      There is an exception for cases of “hot pursuit,” like if they see somebody kill someone and run into a house, they don’t need a warrant. But there’s a lot of restrictions on that and they’re probably not going to bother trying to get your consent in the first place if they have that.

      Obviously that only goes as far as the law applies. Unrelated, but another right you should know is the right to bear arms.

      No, they still can. It’s not legal (for whatever that’s worth these days), but they can absolutely just bust down your door anyway. We need to start treating them like they lawless criminals they are.

      The system will not save you, at least not immediately. You might get let go later, after they’ve sufficiently punished your resistance, but that’s it.

      Those 40% either never heard of this or already dismissed it as fabricated. These people don’t see the same news as you.

          The 40% think they are in the fascist in-group. Many are finding out now they are actually in the out-group.

            Funny thing about that. Happens to all the in-groups at some point, at all levels.

            Ask Caesar if he was in the in-group.

          The thing is, it’s really impossible to come to a logical conclusion of what the word “significant” represents in your reply. What does a “significant percentage” mean to you?

          I’m not saying that there aren’t some Americans out there with really shitty views, but how do you actually decide what percentage of the population they are? What’s the end result of your statement here? What’s the point of you making this comment here?

          Idk, I’m just exhausted by these types of statements in general. These “don’t forget that a lot of people are terrible!” suggestions from the sidelines. These “why are you upset, it’s not surprising!” statements… as if there’s any insight here.

          I’m fucking frustrated too. I just think that the first step to becoming evil or indifferent to evil is believing that that’s just how most people are.

            It is the vast majority of the 30% of the US population that voted for Trump. None of what he is doing today is a surprise, this is what he said he was going to do and it’s what they wanted.

            For me at least, I’m wanting to focus our efforts beyond the goal of simply educating the unaware. A huge amount of effort over the last 8+ years has been in “awareness”. That if we simply made people aware of the bad stuff, that they’d correctly see it as bad and would want to take action.

            It’s an entirely different problem we face when people are aware of the bad stuff and either don’t care or actively support it. The ‘solution’ can’t simply be awareness campaigns and the hope that people will react the way we want them to. We have to do something actually effective.

        This is it. There are certainly some that support it but most just deny outright the possibility that it’s real. We’ve fallen so far so fast that they just refuse to believe it.

    I’ve seen this somewhere before… In a history textbook, I think…

    These Brown Shirts think they won’t be given the “Night of the Long Knives” treatment.

    On the reddit thread yesterday (I had to go check because this video was so disturbing to me), someone said she was one of the neighbors who heard all the commotion and a bunch of neighbors came and escorted the Dasher to safety. So I’m clinging to that.
