The Nazi’s and specifically the SS performed these identical suppressions and oppressions. Squash all voices of dissent.
Communist Rules for Revolution
6. Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
peace :)
they r trying to fullfill that project now.
Americans actually think they have more freedoms than China!
Ha!
they were obviously tracked and stopped at a vulnerable time, so the police could conduct this operation easily. remember the ’40’s when people disappeared into the night? well for now, it’s just your possessions…
sheeple wake up
Funny how most Americans don’t know how well they have it compared to other countries when it comes to police conduct.
Very true, but if citizens don’t “fight the powah” like this, we’ll lose those lovely rights.
Just because it’s not the worst than other countries doesn’t mean it can’t be better than it is. Also doesn’t mean American cops don’t violate rights. Rights are not relative to where you live.. they are universal. Fight until they are treated that way.
Yes and we should be greatful that this kind of harrasment police activity is not the norm. But we still need vigilance because there is always the movement of power hungry , punitive loving ego that wants to bully and hurt folks in the name of the law.
White people should not be allowed to own property or businesses. Native people should own all the property and sell it to anybody they want except white people. Black people should own all the businesses and sell them to everybody they want except the white people. White people should leave their homes, businesses and cash money behind and become the manual laborers that take orders from Black and Brown peoples. Justice is way overdue for these devil pigs.
White privilege like yours is really precious. You act like this is NOT the norm. Well for Black, Brown and Native people it IS the norm.
Now that wouldnt be EQUAL now would it?
I mean seriously are you smoking crack cuz thas the most retarded thing i heard today.

Hell yeah can the common chinese subject get away with this, nope!
we are the frees country on this planet.
Hairy Nutz
Facts:
The US citizens have lost ALL but no. 3 of their Bill of Rights
China poses 0 tax on capital gains
Try opening a small biz in America and see how “free” you are!
A woman who sued & won a lawsuit against her city was later tried under “Terrorism” laws for being a “paper terrorist” – Felony D & automatic jail time
The level of your delusion is astonishing Mr Hairy Ballz!
LoL
Talk about delusional America is the freest country in the world and it figures alittle dominican who lives in a shitty corrupt country would like us to be on your level but were above you.
Chinese have no right they have there houses taken and destroyed if the govwernmen wants to destroy them.
And there is no felony D duh, stop reading the communist propaganda and use facts instead.
Yeah it is easy to open a biz here just look at all the mexicans coming here opening stores
Hairy Ballz
You clearly have proven that you are in fact a product of the worst education system in the world
Dominica is not the same country as the Dominican Republic
And yet the best University in the world are in America & The country has the largest most advanced economy in the world not to mention the most advanced military so would a country of idiots produce this?, if so hen whats that say about the world and your irrelivent nation LoL
Ballz – Who exactly told you that?
What percentage of prof’s in US Universities are even American?
Rockefeller & Dewey created the US education system by using the philosophy of Hegel & Wundt
The same two men to whom Marx & Trotsky used to create Communism
In their own words, “to create a passive society of people who merely act as cogs in the wheel of society”
Thus, Americans are NOT critical thinkers – They just “go along”
Removing critical thinking from ed was simple & genius!
i think your comments tell everyone a lot about you. A typical ill educated American,paranoid, ignorant, arrogant and brainwashed in to thinking that all America does is for the good. The best University made my day by the way. Not that many Americans can afford to attend. Now do be quiet you silly man.
Wrongo. The United States has 5% of the population of the entire planet and 25% of the world’s prison population. Look it up. The elections have been proven to be rigged by Diebold as well as others and they take our taxes and piss them away. This is the only country in the world where if you don’t pay your taxes on your property they will take it away from you. Other countries just put a lien on it without interest. Freedom is a force fed lie to Americans and it sounds like you are convinced.
This is where “Old-Time” drawings and lithographs of news events like what was done in the 19th and early 20th Century. Could very well come in handy!! Web and Print Journalist’s and Bloggers alike need to retrain themselves at this “nearly lost art” of news reporting!! As long as you have “written notes” or “strong oral account’s” you can have a talented artist either by hand or by the computer’s photoshop draw beautifully detailed pictures of the events happenings!!
correction, you WHERE the freest country on the planet
well the news guys did break the law, and they do exadurate/lie alot…sooooooo…..
