    Did any of those 205 cases involve journalists or cases where a magistrate judge, federal judge, and the 8th Circuit all refused an arrest warrant?

    This is about press freedom guaranteed by the first Amendment.

    These threads are just filled with people trying to find gotcha moments on hypocritical events that transpire or transpired.

    Some are reasonable, some are down with the ship.

    Down with the ship is a popular choice in here.

    Plenty of people think Fox News journalists are hacks too. Disagreeing with someone doesn't strip them of press protections.

    And again the left choses certain words to protect or attack.

    “Journalists” as if that gives you Carte blanch to do whatever you want.

    He’s an activist with a podcast. That doesn’t absolve you from consequences.

    No, it's not. If tomorrow morning, Nick Fuentes, accompanied by 100 KKK Proud Boys, stormed into Ebenezer Baptist (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s former church) and began yelling at and intimidating parishioners, telling them that "God hates Blacks", you & I and everyone else here would want him arrested, charged under the FACE Act and thrown in jail.

    This is a 1A press freedom issue. He has press credentials. Your opinion on whether he's a 'real journalist' doesn't matter. Three judges refused to issue an arrest warrant. That tells you everything.

    That hypothetical has nothing to do with this case. The two journalists were doing their jobs, not protestors storming buildings.

    His celebrity status is saving him.
    He’s not a journalist, he’s an activist who openly hates white people.

    With all due respect, in the words of the great Joe Biden, that's a bunch of malarkey. You know you & I would support the arrest of Nick Fuentes if that were to happen.

    And judges don't care about celebrity status. They rule on the merits. A magistrate judge, a federal judge, and the 8th Circuit all refused to issue an arrest warrant. That should tell you something.

    No one b****es more about race more than you, let me get you some kleenex while the rest of us sit back and watch actual racism from this dogshit admin in real time. No complaints from your kind of course...this is what you voted for. The dead war vets aren't even safe from these heathens...

    U.S. removal of panels honoring Black soldiers at WWII cemetery in the Netherlands draws backlash

    The panels’ removal at the Netherlands American Cemetery comes after President Donald Trump issued a series of executive orders ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

    It does tell me something, but not what you’re implying.

    He is getting off because he is a celebrity and has good lawyers who can just say he followed people in there.

    hopefully, he learned his lesson and tones down the terrorist and racist activity.

    The judges were probably corrupt

    I don't know who Nick Fuentes is, but storming a building is illegal. That's not even close to what happened here.

    If Fuentes was credentialed press covering a story, then yes, he'd have 1A protection too. But your example isn't about reporting. It's about people storming a building and intimidating others.

    These two journalists weren't doing that. They were covering an event.

    Look, you've abandoned your original argument and jumped to wild hypotheticals because you know the facts don't support you. Three judges refused an arrest warrant. That's the reality here.

    I wonder if Icestapo will snatch Fuentes up because of his name. There will be a point where the low-hanging brown fruit is gone and they start sorting through Latino names. I could see a future where any non-Anglo name gets scrutinized. Everyone better change their name to John Smith.

    Sorry, but what? It is the exact same hypothetical. I don't even know what you're doing at this point. I am heading out to enjoy this sunny 40 degree day in Htown. Que disfrutes tu día amiga.

    He’s a racist. He embraces the obvious double standard.

    What does that have to do with black WW2 vets?
