At least Ghandi had the good sense to back off when some of his organized protests turned violent. And that girl in the picture was the leader of a movement for Indian economic independence? Wow, who knew?!?

Nope. The dude was trying to escape and grabbed a bailiff's gun.

Well, he doesn't look very black. His name, Larry Darnell Gordon, facing multiple felony charges yet was not handcuffed when he was brought into the courtroom.



Well, there goes the BLM angle.

Yelling "Fire" in a crowded theater is entirely appropriate if the theater is on fire.

What would be inappropriate is yelling back "Oh, bullshit, there's no fire he's just trying to stir up trouble!".....as the theater burns.

I was under the impression we were discussing the 'freedom to peaceably assemble', why the sidetrack?

Because whell has already edicted that freedom to assemble ends when cops ask the crowd to disperse.
