  1.  @talonsilverhawk5763  I don't have video of it, but I'm basing this on other incidents of the same type.

  2.  @talonsilverhawk5763  Not out of the blue, or at least not in an event like this.

  3.  @CakeProDuckShins  Vehicular assault is against the law.

  4.  @joshuaoverlord5327  Yes, being pushed along by a car makes it very difficult to do anything else but stay on one's feet. The other protesters were trying to get the driver to stop before anyone got hurt.

  5.  @joshuaoverlord5327  First, it's "they're." Second, they were in the process of crossing. A large group/march sometimes has to "cork" an intersection, it's the nature of the beast. As the truck was shoving people in front of it, others tried to stop it, to prevent further injuries.

  6.  @joshuaoverlord5327  The truck isn't moving very quickly, but it's quick enough to put people in the situation I'm mentioning.

  7.  @joshuaoverlord5327  They were on the move. That's what happens in marches.

  8.  @joshuaoverlord5327  You've no experience with this sort of thing, have you?

  9.  @joshuaoverlord5327  No, experience enough to understand that spontaneous marches and other similar events take the streets, and are on the move. Not wanting to wait a few moments isn't worth potentially killing or maiming someone, or, for that matter, putting yourself in danger.

  11. They were crossing, and would have passed by in a few moments.

  12.  @Koreanbabysleeps  He was pushing people with the car. It's not a simple thing to just jump aside, as they were simply trying to stay on their feet. The others were trying to get him to stop, for that reason.

  13.  @rhettsalsbury9394  You can see them being pushed.

  14.  @nal101  Protest marches take the streets. That's how it goes. They were apparently crossing anyway and would have been out of the area in moments. There's no reason to be a hothead about things.

  15.  @nal101  Ok, but that doesn't excuse coming very close to killing and maiming people.

  17. That's not what happened.

  18. I'm not saying that this is the motive, and I don't endorse such bans, but keep in mind that Maus is actually really racist. Spiegelman depicts all Polish non-Jews as pigs, not only the cops! Spiegelman of course is Jewish, and the symbolism of such an unclean animal is obvious. It implies also that the Polish non-Jews were not on the "food chain" of the Nazis, which is absolute offensive nonsense; Poles were one of the larger categories of Holocaust victims. Poland lost a large percentage of its population, both to the specific Holocaust (camps, Einsatzgruppen death squads, etc.), but also to violence from the German forces & collaborators more generally. Spiegelman also depicts all Americans as dogs, regardless of race. Is this supposed to mean that Americans don't have racial divides?? Besides, all of this seems to buy into Nazi racial pseudo-science, categorizing people into biologically distinct "races" with incompatible characteristics. Did he really want to give the impression that he agreed with the Nazis that Jews are weak-but-dangerous vermin?

  21. That's impressive, considering how short she is. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

  22. Migrants, no matter their status, commit less crime than US-born citizens. The reason should be obvious; why jeopardize one's chance at a better life (after risking so much) by committing crimes?

  23. What's the reason for the scare quotes?

  24. That's so disingenuous.

  25. They were trying to stop the truck from driving through the crowd. We've seen this before.

  26. It's "you're." Marches involve taking the streets. Have a little patience, or better yet, join in.

  28. Marches are disruptive by nature. They take the streets. Business-as-usual cannot continue. Have patience, or, better yet, join.

  29.  @momonkbeavis  Embryos are not babies. They don't have personhood. Having an abortion is one way to deal with said mistake. Also, if you think that embryos are tantamount to babies, and an abortion is murder, then rape exceptions make no sense.

  30.  @cheyennehummingbird676  Of course human embryos and human fetuses are human. It's a question of personhood, the criteria that make killing wrong. Those come later. Yes, of course I was an embryo. So what? There's no harm in not being born.

  31. And?

  36. He was already driving into the crowd.

  37. Don't Arab Americans (among others) realize that the Christian Right supports all Israeli aggression and expansion?

  39.  @mattpowell6291  Embryos aren't babies. They are human, but not persons yet. They have no rights.

  42. This is off the subject, but you know how Republicans such are always bashing "big blue cities" like L.A. and the Bay Area? The most dangerous parts of CA are the GOP-run areas like Fresno and Bakersfield! Now, they don't have the very serious problems that those bigger cities have these days, which just goes to show that neoliberal capitalist parties don't have the will nor the ability to deal with the problems that they create!

  43.  @kdapson1452  That's partly true, but their murderous foreign policies included support for lots of fascists, monarchists, and so on.

  44.  @punchthem4582  "Gov agents" is ridiculous, and as for the cops, most of them (more than I would have imagined) fought bravely, but there were definitely Trumpists among them. As I've already pointed out (and as is no secret), the attackers were indeed armed. They came within a few yards and a few moments of catching (and likely killing) lawmakers and staff, preventing certification of the election, and causing a constitutional crisis. That's a much bigger deal than civil unrest; also, no one other than a military has the capability to burn that building to the ground. Don't be silly.

  45.  @punchthem4582  There's no evidence for any of that. Get off of the conspiracy theories.

  46.  @punchthem4582  "American [sic] hating" is just a tired snarl phrase; it's the kind of thing that Birchers would say. Nobody worships CNN (least of all me!), and I'm not a Democrat.

  47. Most of the cops fought bravely, but some of them collaborated with the attackers. It isn't surprising.

  48. There's no hijab law in Lebanon.

  50.  @icausedbidenflation9999  You're a troll, but what the hell: No, the vast majority of them broke in as the police tried to resist. A few of the cops may have collaborated with the attackers. Said attackers came within a few feet and a few moments of lynching lawmakers & staff, preventing certification of the election, and causing a constitutional crisis. Some were caught with firearms, other guns were stashed nearby, don't forget the explosives, others were caught with blades, and don't forget the hundreds of blunt instruments, chemical sprays, tasers, etc.
