Fear of reprisal
I’m sitting here writing and wondering if somewhere, someone is taking note. I hope what I write is at least stirring some people to think about what’s going on and how it’s affecting them and their families. The news does make me think about how the government is trying to silence people. The president and his hench men/women continue to ignore and stonewall anyone questing their actions.
They post video of Portland from the George Floyd protest back in 2020 claiming that what we see is the current situation. Multiple news outlets have shown that there are only about a dozen protesters, and they are sitting in lawn chairs. There are videos showing ICE agents exiting the building in full gear confronting the protesters. Who’s the aggressor? Using military tactics to storm an apartment building in South Chicago? Dragging men, women and children, some U.S. citizens, into the street and then ransacking the apartments. When people say enough is enough and resist, they are thrown to the ground, arrested and taken to an unknown location with no due process.
The latest that I’ve read from the right is that participating in the Oct. 18 NO KINGS rallies are really “hate America rally” of the Antifa crowd, pro-Hamas and Marxists. This kind of talk makes people uncomfortable; some are questioning whether it’s safe to attend. This is exactly what they want. Don’t let them have it! Show up and protest peacefully it’s your duty.
