Black shirts, no insignia, zip ties.

Forcibly removing some lady from a political meeting.

Seemingly with local law enforcement passive.

Reposted from Sabo-Katt☭

There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints.

Idaho us a white nationalist haven

leandraus.bsky.social•10 hours ago

The men have been identified. One is the local sheriff. These white Christian males are attacking people of color and white women all over the country. They will be put in their place eventually. Things are still heating up.

cashinhand.bsky.social•9 hours ago

So a sheriff involved (no identification markings) assisted with 3 unidentified men. Sure looks like the enemy within. Where are all the libertarians and freedom fighters at. Figures, cowards like their bone spurs leader.

Reminds me a lot of Ruzzia or Georgia. I'm curious to see when the first people will fall out of windows or balconies in the USA ...

Perfectly atuned to fascist authoritarian methods. This is how it starts and we shall soon see US intellectuals & artists & ordinary citizens jailed bc of their opinion ➡️ #politicalprisoner

"Dissenting opinions will not be tolerated". What's happening in the US is tragic, the downfall of a once great country.

KCRCC event in Coeur d’Alene, ID, the public was not allowed to comment. Those with differing perspectives were repeatedly told to “shut up or get the hell out.” And when one woman simply asked if this was a lecture or an actual town hall, she was forcibly removed.

The most disturbing part is that nobody is trying to help her, and that most people don't seem to mind the violence.

It's worrying, they remind me of the Russians in their way of acting. Really alarming.

leavine.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I don't know the local laws - the crowd passivity could relate to procedural rules in place. My local board passed laws to prevent folks "from disrupting" meetings - you will be removed - The board allows citizens 2 min. at the podium near the end of the meeting to speak.

leavine.bsky.social•11 hours ago

And you are only allowed to speak on the approved "agenda" items. They will cut the mic and have you removed if you want to discuss something else. They issue a warning first.

madammem.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Ok. So what?

The American Revolution didn't happen after the written approval of England.

The Boston Tea Party didn't happen after they got a permit.

Trump&Co are not respecting US laws, why should anyone else?

leavine.bsky.social•10 hours ago

I know I get it! We the people - got to take the power back! I was just trying to offer a "possible explanation" for the passivity of the seated crowd.

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

All questions are answered in two locations.

auonsson.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Pls expand!

monkeypeter.bsky.social•10 hours ago

This is better sourcing. If you start searching the names, and then those connected to them, it becomes clear where they want to take the situation.

Idaho is the trad home of Aryan Nations, and the pacific northwest is becoming a critical mass of christian nationalism again. This time, more guns, fewer guardrails. Areas like this is where democratic norms will be cleansed.

leandraus.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Aryans are a lie. They call themselves pure white, but nobody is pure anything. Everyone has black DNA even these so-called "Aryans." White supremacy is a lie.

Although that used to be limited to the "panhandle" (north). To see this in Couer d'Alane is a bit shocking, as it is the "big city" and pretty cosmopolitan (for Idaho) although it has been changing.. Southern Idaho is mostly Mormon spillover from Utah, and very conservative - but not as radical.

monkeypeter.bsky.social•10 hours ago

From my limited rooting around, there's basically a line that starts in Texas with ammo guys and ends there. That was a couple years ago. I figure it's getting much worse. New holy land for Christian Nationalism.

Sheriff Bob Norris “This is not a negotiation”

"Many in the audience became upset, several leaving the event entirely, ... a few dozen audience members began filming the incident, with several more booing and shouting at Bejarana and the unidentified men.

Only thing we can recognise these people is their motives - So they must consider to be a republicans.

This is the reason to be recognisable.

I think it is all sides interest to catch them.

They are called "titushki" after similiar cases of violence in ukraine at Maidan. GOP introduces worst post soviet ways of dealing with an opposition.

Everybody else was passive too

auonsson.bsky.social•12 hours ago

True. But they are either (maybe more likely?) passivized by bystander effects than knowing they are actual LEO?

The sheriff might know.

But ambiguous situations like this must be seconds from shots fired, at least in states where there might be guns on people.

cashinhand.bsky.social•9 hours ago

If LEO why didn't they identify themselves. They were asked at least 10 times. Don't try & provide excuses for what went down. Say you got stopped by an unmarked vehicle & a unidentified person asked you step out. Would you do it. Same thing here. She didn't know who was dragging her away

rliffredo.bsky.social•11 hours ago

You're right, and if I were to picture myself in that situation, I am afraid I would be one of those bystanders.

Still, I think this is a reminder that these situation do happen in life, and we (at least, I) should be able to somehow react even within the constraints you mentioned.

auonsson.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Reading this news piece the fascism becames all more clear.

From podium:
Denigration of the woman as ”a little girl”
”we have to be aggressive”
”your voice is meaningless”

This happening in Coeur D’Alene is the least surprising thing of all time

atriverside.bsky.social•10 hours ago

It is so very 1960s USA, though less gestapo violence (thus far) than those years. More guns and surveillance now.

Fresh propaganda from the Idaho Republican party on protests across the state in the past week.

kbr00.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I don't get how no-one even demands (backed up by force) the ID themselves.

I mean, even if you don't like the woman's views, you don't sit quiet and watch someone being dragged away from a townhall meeting.

piratealia.bsky.social•10 hours ago

And this is how it starts.😭
I am heartbroken for the US.

Now all Europe can do is to strengthen ties with other democratic countries, block social media that is used to spread anti-democracy propaganda, and make sure that fascism remains curbed here.

Please, Germany, do the right thing today!
