There were never going to be any charges.

This episode of authoritarian dictatorship was about scaring other people to not do it again. You guys should remember that when the fat orange paedo dies and do something about all these pieces of shit lackeys and enablers.

(Well you should do something about the orange child rapist now. Today.
But, embarrassingly and laughingly yet amazingly, there doesn't seem to be anyone over there who has the spine to do anything about the slow, obese, dim witted, mushy brained dementia riddled, 80 year old tub of wobbling gonorrhoea. CHRIST.)

    Sounds like he has a case against the city for false arrest or something. Scare them back.

    Yeah I would think so as well. The guy literally was saying that ordering him removed was illegal, as it was being commanded and carried out. He didn't resist at all, simply went limp.

    Sue the mayor, sue the cops. False detainment.

    Start a go fund me or something for the legal fund, I'd guess the internet would help.

    You seem very passionate about directing others to put their lives and livelihoods on the line. Perhaps if you feel so strongly you should do something yourself?

    Judging from the fact that they say "over there", they are of that rare type of people who don't live in the US.

    I picked up on that. But my premise stands if they are that passionate that they feel the need to direct others to endanger themselves, then they should try to take some direct action.

    How do you expect us to influence US politics, directly at that, from the outside exactly?

    Donating to political parties, lobbying for your interests etc.

    But telling Americans to attack our fellow countrymen or endanger our livelihoods isn’t going to inspire us. Just like an American directing you to attack yours would likely not work either.

    I'm supposed to donate to political parties of a country I don't live in and am not a citizen of? What?

    Perhaps you can adopt that same attitude when telling citizens of another country what to do?

    But talk is cheap.

    As an American we fucked up and we shouldn't require other countries to step up for us. We should do it ourselves. Sure it's great to get support and all but we done fucked the pooch. It's on us.

    I never stated they should step up for us. Only if they are that excited about this subject they should take action rather than demanding and demeaning Americans to do so.

    An American posting similar comments to foreigners on their internal politics would be equally less well received.

    What "same attitude"?

    Mate. The mess in the US is affecting everyone. EVERYONE on Earth. So we reserve the right to tell you to fucking get your shit straightened out already because unfortunately we cannot call the police on you when you burn tires in your front yard and blast your music and fire your guns at bottles and bother your neighbours for sugar at 2 in the morning and demand that people pay a toll when they cross the bridge 5 streets over.

    I keep asking what we're supposed to do from the outside. I cannot walk over to the US's house and into the US's living room and turn off the music and tell them to go the fuck to sleep it is 2 am on a work day and they're keeping the entire street awake. I'd probably be shot.

    You literally can. It's called a plane ticket. Come over here and get shot immediately like you keep advocating I do. No? Didn't think so.

    Facts might be uncomfortable and hard to swallow… but they are Americans.

    We may not agree with them and abhor their policies but they are our fellow countrymen. The rest of the world certainly sees them that way.

    You're a plane ticket away. Come walk the walk or shut the fuck up. That particular pants-shitting dimwit happens to have the Secret Service surrounding him. I'll even pay your airfare since you're so much cooler and tougher than all of us.

    Haha, typical yank. Causes shit for the whole world then demands people from other countries come over to sort it out for them.

    Why the fuck should any one else do shit to help you guys when useless cunts like you won't put any effort° in to sorting your own mess? (°other than being mouthy and demanding as per usual...)
    Stfu.
