Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They were officially contracted as security, no just average citizens effecting a citizens arrest. They are legally required to identify themselves as security.
Despite multiple opportunities and requests; they actively refused to do so.
IMO that lady had every right to violently defend herself from these unidentified assailants attempting to assault her.
That is not attempted assault. She's gonna be a millionaire, come the lawsuit.
I just meant she had the right to defend herself as soon as it became apparent they were trying/going to assault her. She didn't have to wait for the assault to actually occur.
If she actually pursues legal action. Sooo many people just let this stuff go... :(
A go fund me would gather plenty of resource in this case. I hope she goes for it.

As of this moment, 4.6K donations. Lots of 5-10-25-50$, and a few larger ones, from what I saw. I think we should all donate to the cause. 'Apes together strong.'
"She was denied her freedom of assembly, her freedom of speech, and most importantly, her right to be free from unlawful detention." In these times in particular we should all be concerned about our rights, and the rights of others.
I just looked and it's now over 185k. The goal was 30k.
Dr. Borrenpohl is gonna kick their booties, metaphorically and legally speaking. As of this morning, 7.7k donations, and $239K raised with the vast majority of donations at $100 and below. And you know the subjects of this suit are aware of this fact, they are probably watching that GFM as closely as we are.
It's a good thing that N. ID cities and towns are so flush with cash these days. Umm, wait, well https://cdapress.com/news/2024/feb/06/cda-school-leaders-trustees-money-saving-measures/
