That's exactly what I was thinking! I couldn't believe only one or 2 people spoke out and even they didn't actually DO anything. Cowards. Sometimes being arrested is an honorable thing to have happen to you.
But in Idaho they pride themselves as being so fiercely independent- but they just SAT There and allowed it to happen like a flock of fucking sheep. Obedience will kill 🇺🇸 FAFO Idaho Sheep
And the fact the other women just stood there quietly and did nothing...you have no right to say "she was wrongfully dragged out! We need to resist!" If you won't do exactly what you say you would do.
How do you expect the rest of us to join your "resistance" if there is no resistance to join?
They weren’t the resistance. It was a Nazi meeting. Y’all need to stop thinking everyone in our country is part of the resistance - they aren’t. Not everyone (or in some places anyone) will help.
The only voices I heard yelling at them were women’s. But they should have gotten right in there and bear hugged her so those thugs couldn’t do shit. A corrupt sheriff and his goon squad can’t be allowed to function as if they have authority.
Yelling falls on deaf ears. Did you not learn anything from all the protesting? If you really care, you need to get physical. Stand between them and their target, shoulder to shoulder. Don't let their threats scare you. Make them carry out their threats. And record the whole thing start to finish.
Here in the US, the men are out being tough and doing all the dangerous things while the women are in safe, cushy jobs. In Finland, it is the opposite. Finnish women are out being tough and doing all the dangerous things while the men are in the safe, cushy jobs.
Women need to start being as tough as men. Get up on a roof and swing hammers. Get out in a forest and swing axes. Go out hunting with a 12-gauge shotgun. Go target shooting accurately with a .44 Magnum or a .45. Start trying to be intimidating and dominant.
Nah dude, we been there for a while now. From high school fights to store robberies. Footage from 72 angles, not a single fucking person steps up to help.
Every man in that room who sat on their hands while that woman was assaulted, zip-tied and manhandled while being dragged from the room is a fucking FACIST COLLABORATOR!
Nah, they'd cheer. It's the most arousing thing they can imagine, the genocide of their neighbors. I think that's why zombie shows were so popular - it's ultimately a fantasy of legalized mass murder.
Exactly! Anyone thinking that the same people who looked the other way regarding his child rape will not look the other way for murder of innocent people, starvation in concentration camps and torture are suckers.
After having lived in Idaho, and living in CDA for a year as a person of color, I can confirm that there are a lot of fucking White supremacists/nationalists and that they don't take too kindly to anyone who doesn't look like them.
Except this physician IS WHITE. She does wear that protective coloring, and they attacked her anyway. So just looking "like them" isn't enough, if you look like you might also wield a brain and an uterus simultaneously.
BOISE Idaho (AP) Saturday incident at Coeur d’Alene High School drew widespread attention after videos of the turbulence were posted online. Now more than $120,000 has been raised for Teresa Borrenpohl’s legal costs & the police chief has asked to have the security firm’s business license revoked.
The psychology of complicity was famously proven in an infamous study at the University of Akron in the 1960s when researchers wanted to better understand how normal people were able to carry out the grisly orders during the Holocaust.
Yes. I stand corrected. The experiment was at Yale University. The box is on display at the University of Akron. I saw it back in 2001 with my brother who studied it in college as he majored in psychology.
I hope this woman sues the shit out of the City and ‘Lear Security’
the private firm that removed her from a public meeting.
Idaho is a really regressive state with lots of Nazis, White Supremacists, wacko survivalist
prepper types and other assorted fascists and nut jobs.
Especially Northern Idaho.
No, because they are Nazis and it’s exactly what they’ve been wanting to happen. For the record, they were Nazis even before January. N Idaho is full of them
And are the same 2nd amendment "stop government tyranny" types, cheering as three men without badges or other identifiers drag someone from a public meeting to an unknown (at the time) fate.
People who aren’t able (for whatever reason!) to “punch Nazis,” as everyone loves to say, CAN still help prevent something like this:
Stand up & link arms. Block their way so they’ll be forced to assault you to get past & you will have hindered / stopped this kind of abduction w/o “touching” them‼️
Im curious if even one of those people watching realized, "Hey! Wait! That's my DOCTOR they're attacking! That's my care provider!!" Could cognitive dissonance let you watch the person who literally helps keeps you alive hauled away? Oh, wait. Idaho. Never mind.
There is a video of one man who went to her rescue and was pushed all the way out, very firmly by one of the aholes accosting her. I hope someone enlightens us to who he is. He is a hero for trying.
If you’re asking if she slept through being burned… no. People who recorded this charged? No. The person who committed the crime was eventually caught yes.
Yeah she was essentially acting alone in a hostile crowd (very brave btw ... Women are consistently doing what a lot of men won't do).
Those assholes in that audience aren't going to help her. They probably enjoyed it.
"Yeah! Arrest the Lib!"
I. Will. Not. Obey. In. Advance. Been resisting since the 60's. I will put my aging body between a protester exercising 1st A rights and gov't or private goons. Who's with me?
Me. I may be old and fat, but that won’t stop me from getting involved. I’m terrified of being arrested, but I figure if it ever happens, it’ll be within the next 4 years.
No, that guy got up willingly (& if I remember correctly, w/o even being asked) - not because he was scared. You can see all the ppl cheering / smiling / “enjoying the show” in the background.
But for those who DO get scared, here’s some advice on what you can do to help:
The COUP has moved so fast and the elected Dems and fed workers that have been "fired" have done so little...
We need some Regiment or Battalion Commanders to step up, and risk it all to save us.
My take is that with the court wins (&supreme court rulings) judges will force them into contempt of court & based on thoese contempts
They could implement a legal & military just cause for something swift.
Supreme court will wake up bc they be scared of their own positions: dictators hate courts.
I don't know why I was so disturbed watching that. Plenty of folks holding up their phones to record, not a single person, not a single fucking one, stood up and even attempted to stop those jackbooted thugs. Not a single goddamn person.

Right wing ideology is the same feeling erotic stimulation from the humiliation of others.
How do you expect the rest of us to join your "resistance" if there is no resistance to join?
Not sure I can stomach a potato anymore
Or another one?

As a hobby it might have been fun. I mean them survivalists…
There was what like four of em? A room filled with people could’ve ran their shit in seconds
But don't leave me fighting alone.

If you’re sensitive, do yourself a favor & do not watch it
People recorded her burning to death; no one took their coats off to try & put her out—just watched & recorded
Absolutely sickening

This was a heinous act and violation of the 1st Amendment Rights of a US Citizen.
But it wasn't that unexpected for those of us that live in close proximity to Idaho, especially the Northern Half.
That's what Germans did.

Go to it!!
Something is needed to temper the fascist enthusiasm.

Then to trains.
You know what happened fast afterwards .
