Engorgeous George 2,271 Posted Tuesday at 09:35 PM It may be that deportation is a moral wrong though it is legally justified. If it is a moral wrong then that point can be made and will resonate without the cheap theatrics seeking to in some cases interfere with the legitimate speech rights of others and in other cases to obstruct law enforcement. If there is enough gravitas to break the law in civil disobedience then own that, don't try to claim that there was not civil disobedience, that the unlawful was somehow not unlawful. Own the actions proudly. That would place one in the ranks, though lesser, of Gandi and King, righteous company to be among I would say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seafoam1 2,913 Posted Tuesday at 09:40 PM obama with his racial division, and biden with his open borders has given the Republican Party the claim to the presidency for years to come. All they need to do is put normals in place to run the next decade. Trump wasn't exactly straight laced, but he was and is needed at this time of total liberal anarchy. Someone with guts has to keep them from destroying this nation any further. Trump 2028 for VP!! Go Vance!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimHauck 2,715 Posted Tuesday at 10:17 PM 1 hour ago, Engorgeous George said: Asking is justified and non-objectionable. DEMADING while physically embracing the wanted person so as to prohibit them from being secured into custody is not. Even his attorney, if he had one, would not have been allowed to do what this Comptroller did. This was an officious intermeddler obstructing justice, nothing more, other than he could also be called a media strumpet seeking a viral moment to feed the ignorant who do not understand the law so he can have a campaign issue, a manufactured one. So asking is justified? Wouldn’t it likely be true then that if they provided it to him when asked that there would have been no viral moment? I’ll defer to your legal expertise if you think there was legitimate grounds to detain him, but I’m not convinced he was only seeking a viral moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s odd to me then that he didn’t know how to respond when agents show up to arrest someone that he’s escorting. Hopefully he learned his lesson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gladiators 1,976 Posted Wednesday at 12:48 AM I just read an article on CNN about the incident. I’m now 100% convinced it was a publicity stunt. “Lander, who is running in a crowded Democratic mayoral primary set to take place next week, had been monitoring immigration court activity in the past few days, walking alongside migrants as they exited their court appointments in response to reports that the migrants were being taken into custody by federal agents following court appearances.” He escorted 4 families out previously. Note - squistion said Lander had been doing this for weeks. Is CNN wrong or squistion? If he only escorted 4 families, it certainly makes sense that it was just over the last few days.

The Real timschochet 6,585 Posted Wednesday at 04:08 AM When I wrote earlier that I was troubled by what the comptroller had done it was based on a description that was offered here. When I watched the video I changed my mind. No law enforcement was impeded, this wasn’t a stunt, Lauder did nothing wrong. I shouldn’t ever believe what is posted here by the MAGA crowd.
