AG Merrick Garland Admits He Took Word of [NSBA] to Target Parents...

Dude.... there is video of it. Wow. You seriously have no clue about this event. What are you doing in this thread?

 

So you believe those are acts of terrorism that require the FBI to step in? Or can the local authorities handle a teacher having their face-mask ripped off?

 

The poster I responded to asked for acts of violence. Take it up with their line of questioning for not phrasing it in a manner your approve of.

If local school boards and local police think these people are dangerous and a persistent threat then they have a right to contact the FBI.

 

For some reason you’re focused on one guy, who’s actions got him arrested, as proof they aren’t breaking the law?

 

You know nothing about the events of the topic with Scott Smith. You're not worth talking to about it.

 

Sometimes you are ok. Keep at it.

 

In my opinion, this largely has to do with school boards dealing with the anti-CRT fervor and probably moreso the COVID protocols.

COVID has been politicized at every junction and school boards are no exception. These are far more local and far less visible than national debates. With the quantity of these debates happening in school districts across the country, it's no surprise that in some of them there are parents who can't control themselves and the extents to which they'll go to make their displeasure known. Threats of violence or actual violence should come as a surprise to no one. Parents get in brawls over little kid sports games, which aren't politicized at all, so it's no stretch of the imagination to see how that can get ramped up over a serious politicized issue like COVID.

Do these incidents rise to the level of "domestic terrorism"? Probably not. This was stupid on the part of anyone who talked about it in this context. They are serious, certainly, but not something the Federal government needs to be involved in.

And with that said, parents getting unruly, making threats, and being violent(NOT just voicing a concern as the right-wingers would lead you to believe) need to grow up and stop making their children appear more mature than they are.

 

Positive the local police did not call in the FBI. So you seriously think it rises to the level where local authorities can't handle parents getting upset with them? How is this an FBI issue? Would you classify a parent pulling the facemask off a school-board member as terrorism? How about a father yelling at them because his daughter was raped by a known rapist and they tried to cover it up?

 

Certainly no more of a partisan hack than Baa Baa Black sheep Barr was for Dirty Donald.

 

Face mask pulling yes.
And it depends what he was yelling

 

Not when your threatening them with removal from their position. Youre probably a big supporter of Garlands tactics of criminalizing harassment or intimidation of any kind.

 

There isn't a hell of a lot to be 'happy' about in this country anymore, but ONE thing does stand out -- the fact that, for now at least, we don't have this tyrannical, hyperliberal piece of ****, Garland, on the Supreme Court.

. "Don't worry, sister -- the minute Breyer retires, Biden will send us a reinforcement!"

 

How much do you get paid to push this nonsense?

The task force won't "terrorize" anybody. At best, if this even comes off, I'd hope they'd monitor and arrest anybody causing disturbances in what USED TO BE boring ass meetings over school policy.

At worst, it's a waste of time, but the "parents" (PAID disruptors) need to be weeded out ASAP

But I hope it works out, and these domestic terrorists are stopped...

 

Face-mask pulling is now a federal crime that requires the FBI. Simple assault, a misdemeanor at best. Wow, the authoritarian boot is coming down hard.

 

In order for the feds to arrest someone for disturbing the peace or assault and battery they would need to do so under a federal law. Thus the suggestion of terrorism by the NASB and apparent adoption by the DOJ.

 

SNIP
Those efforts are expected to include the creation of a task force, consisting of representatives from the department’s Criminal Division, National Security Division, Civil Rights Division, the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, the FBI, the Community Relations Service and the Office of Justice Programs, to determine how federal enforcement tools can be used to prosecute these crimes, and ways to assist state, Tribal, territorial and local law enforcement where threats of violence may not constitute federal crimes.

They have it covered both ways, federal and local..

I'm just not sure why the right thinks parents and paid operatives threatening school board members is a winning political strategy.... sure haven't been doing a whole lot of winning since 2016....

 

So, trolling? Or .50 a post. I ask because:

1. You cannot provide a source for data or even a single incident to support your claim of terrorism.

2. You disregard a video of the AG saying his source was something he read in a newspaper. The AG says he has no actual evidence.

3, You post a strawman claim the right is defending violence and threats when neither you, nor the AG, nor any liberals posting here can provide any incidents or data to support your claim.

If you can support your position with data and/or a well reasoned argument please do so.

 

Deflection. Strawman.

 

Who has been terrorized by Garland?

 

Funny you should bring up getting paid to post. Just sayin.

 

Parents who want to get involved in school board meetings but are afraid to do so because of the AG's memo. Do a little bit of homework before commenting. Seventeen States have accused Garland of intimidating parents.

 

So no one has been terrorized.. Got it.

 

As expressed by both Antifa and BLM. They got away with this far too long.

 

Since when? Its a local law enforcement issue. Domestic terrorist? please. Get a grip.

BLM and Antifa who actually kill people are not Domestic terrorist but parents are?
lol

 

Serious deflection from the OP which is about a false claim about domestic terrorism directed against school boards. Deflection and strawman.

Is the 1/6 "insurrection" threats and violence against school boards? Obviously it is not.

Are teachers being pushed/assaulted threats violence against school boards? Obviously it is not.

Can you supply some actual data and examples representing actual domestic terrorism against school boards?

Do you have anything to say about the OP and the AG basing a memo about domestic terrorism on a newspaper article?
