In bad country armed thought police thugs will terrorize viewers of educational videos that show the truth of the brutatily of bad country.
the fucking gestapo showed up
Without any exaggeration, yes.
Now you know I may not have healthcare, or even the potential to access healthcare that's even good, or an affordable place to live, or the money to take a real vacation, or the time and energy to explore the majority of meaningful ways in which I'd like to enrich my life, or clean water, or any kind of hope for the future whatsoever... but at least I don't live in some communist hellhole without FREEDOM!
Did they have some cover explanation lile "assemblimg withput a permit" or was this just a blatant attack with no justification even attempted?
There's always some justification given for things like this. It's just a matter of course. That doesn't hide the obvious selective enforcement and undue severity.
The campus group SJP is currently suspended on campus, assuredly for a justifiable reason. And being suspended, they can't reserve any spaces, so they just tried to take over a quad. Admin got wind of the event and closed that quad, so they reassembled on a separate site with a white sheet and Bluetooth speaker/projector.
So yes, they were completelty justified in storming the group of people watching a movie off basically off their phones with 60 riot police, as it was an unpermitted assembly, violated the campuses time and place policy, and the group itself already being suspended for hurting the feelings of a foreign country.
Doesn't matter though, free publicity for the movie and I assume it will be available to stream when Watermelon+ (yes, that's a real streaming service) launches next week. They will have to storm peoples dorm rooms next to stop them from seeing this dangerous film
Yeah, this is gonna trigger a Streisand Effect
Land of the free baybeee!!
Cops are cowards.
