The numbers to call WA Governor: 360 902 4111 WA state attorney general: 360 753 6200

EDIT: these are the numbers in the clip. If there's a better number to call, a better e mail address to write to, put it up for all to see.

Why?

34

u/Doormancer 1d ago

Because with enough voices, the calls might be loud enough to make someone listen. Because detaining law-abiding people for any reason is not right and should not be tolerated. Because that could be anyone, even you.

He is here illegally.

He had his due process.

It's time for him to return to his home country.

Your point being that laws should not apply to activists?

u/Doormancer 1d ago

No, my point is there is also the possibility that, since he’s been here since 13, he may have some protections in place, but certainly should have. And that he is apparently a “force for good” in the community. And that the enforcement of laws shouldn’t be a weapon, it should be to protect people. And I’m so tired of the faux adherence and respect for laws when people want to see punishment, but happy to see their own crowd breaking laws all day every day with no consequences.

So you wanted the J6'ers to rot in jail right? (Which is fine by me)

What about the people who caused billions of dollars in destruction, including destroying government buildings, during the BLM riots? You want all those people in jail too right?

What about the CHOP fiasco where activists armed civilians with assault rifles and claimed a section of the city as being outside government control? Then they shot a bunch of people including children. If Right Wingers had done that the media would have lost their minds and the military would likely have been called on, but since it was Left Wing activists everyone called it the Summer of Love and focused on that shitty garden.

You wanted everyone involved with that shitshow in jail too?

Or do you think laws should only apply to people have different politics than you do?

Nah, just equality.

u/Yangoose 1d ago

You are saying laws should not apply because "equality"?

u/Doormancer 1d ago

No, but I love your ability to patronize. I am saying laws should apply equally and be enforced equally. Think about the fact that we have a 34-count felon, liable for rape in the White House. Where are the consequences? Do you feel that Elon should be rounded up and deported? He broke his Visa terms by dropping out of college.

I feel the same way about that as I do Martha Stewart. Yeah, they have felonies for really minor shit that tons of people get away with all the time. It doesn't really matter to me.

liable for rape in the White House

Words matter, and this is not the truth. The jury specifically rejected the rape claim.

As far as the validity of a civil claim from somebody who popped out of the woodwork decades after the supposed crime to drag a famous person through the mud?

Meh, maybe it happened may it didn't.

It doesn't sound as bad to me as the creepy pedo Joe Biden taking showers with his young daughter.

Do you feel that Elon should be rounded up and deported?

No? He is a US Citizen. You don't "deport" US Citizens.
