I see the game you are playing.
I asked several you, comments ago since YOU, not I or anyone else I see here, claim to be a legal expert, to explain what law was used to put these protesters in jail AFTER you claimed not to know. That was cute 'but what law needs to be changed'? Lol!
Of course you weren't really claiming not to know, you were playing a little game to try get me to say something you could then attack! Why that would be important to you only you can tell. I never did understand this internet phenomena of game playing in order to try to 'get' someone. Always seemed very childish to me not to mention, disingenuous.
I can come to one of two conclusions since you have refused to answer the questions.
1) You are not a legal expert and know nothing about the case or how these protesters were sent to jail ... but you support their incarceration anyhow because the 'law is the law' .... or
2) You have the same information I have but are not interested in a discussion. Just the same old 'if I can't make a case to support my position, I will just keep using diversionary tactics'.
Old lawyer's trick, emphasis on 'old'. I am not interested in game playing there are whole sites where people can play games.
I am interested in issues and if someone has more knowledge about an issue than I do, I am always grateful when they share it. And most DUers have always been willing to share information which is how we all learn.
So, if you really want a discussion, then be honest about what you know and stop acting like you are in a courtroom. You're not. It comes down to whether or not you support the incarceration of these protesters based on laws that remove people's Constitutional rights or not.
I can answer those questions easily. How about you?
