256 Followers 183 Following "Whatever's good for your soul...do that."Yeah, sure, if you can point to evidence that "ultra free speech folks" ever supported any "speech" that involved harassment, threats, and a stated intent to disrupt normal campus life.
It’s a revealing time for the ultra free speech folks, huh?
Guns don’t kill people. People with bananas kill people.
No offense but I once got out of a traffic stop for distracted driving because the officer saw I was reading 4th amendment case law on my phone
@CathyCa80116006 @ASFleischman Don't listen to him. He doesn't know what he's talking about.
@ScottGreenfield @ASFleischman True it’s for an arrest, not investigatory detention, and yeah I’m not aware of any consequences for failing to do so, which is why I said “technically”.
But the cop does not have to explain why he's detaining you and there's no point arguing with him. Ask if you can leave, and if you can, do. x.com/scottgreenfiel…
Note: The police officer does not have to explain it to you, and you do not have to agree with the cop's assessment. It is not a discussion or argument.
@ScottGreenfield Prosecutors don't deserve to be lumped in with those chumps.
Me and the boys protesting against the Taliban in 2013.
I learned this the very quickly as a baby lawyer. I also used to think the Judge silently nodding to everything I said was a good sign. Remanded.
Judge - “you should be proud of your attorney, they made thought out and very compelling arguments in this case” Client - *oh my gosh we’re going to win* Attorney -
@ScottGreenfield @AsheSchow "Stop! Or I'll say 'stop' again!"
@ScottGreenfield That whole thread reads like restrictive covenants I used to see in deeds back when I was doing title searches. These kids have Jim Crow rules for anyone that might trigger their fragile sensibilities. It’s laughable at this point.
@jnewsgabe Gentlemen, you can’t walk around freely in here! This is the Liberated Zone!
“waving bananas like settlers waving machine guns” Exactly like. Except more potassium.
There was a protestor in the liberated zone at @UCLA with a potentially fatal banana allergy. Counterprotestors invaded the encampment and saw all the no bananas warnings. The next day they came back waving bananas like settlers waving machine guns & smeared bananas everywhere.
The protests involve small numbers of people and are taking place at some of the most privileged and "bubble-ish" places in the entire world. It's cool to be interested in them - I'm interested in them! ' - but this is the opposite of a mass populist movement.
I'm pretty sure most young people and community members and faculty protesting now in 75 campuses are clear on what they want: an end to Israel's war and occupation. Or we can ignore it and live in our comfortable bubbles.
@ScottGreenfield Yes … people don’t seem to realize that the Special Counsel very plainly said some Presidential acts are beyond criminal law The DC Circuit decision was bonkers but neither side has defended its analysis. Dreeben said he was defending the “judgment,” not the reasoning.
@ScottGreenfield @BadLegalTakes Never heard of her before this
@ScottGreenfield I don't know, but I'm definitely going to the drum circle. Gonna go tune my bongos right now.
@ScottGreenfield I saw a video from a USC senior talking about the cancellation of her graduation ceremony, four years after the cancellation of her high school graduation due to Covid. What a blow to those poor kids.
Seriously have you considered how much more powerful getting arrested would be if you had a plan to have some dignity when it happened?
