"journalist" lauren southern arrested for shooting flares at a refugee boat

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

[Deblano]

lol.

[MasterJedi]

Throw her in jail and let her rot for attempted murder.

[Crumpets]

"Civil disobedience?" Really?

[Jeffster]

It's the fault of European governments who have their coast guard "rescue" refugees on the open water only a short distance away from the African coast, and bring them all the way to Europe, that causes more and more of them to make the dangerous journey to cross the Mediterranean. If you took a hard stance and stopped letting them in so easily, they wouldn't make the trip in the first place, and it would prevent more deaths.

But all you really care about is importing future voters who will reliably vote for the left. You don't really care about human life.

"Civil disobedience?" Really?

So if this had been done for a political cause you agree with that would be 'civil disobedience'. As its been done for a political cause you don't agree with its not 'civil disobedience'. Is that how it works?

[This account no longer in use.]

Regardless of political reasons, this is pretty much attempted mass murder.

I don't think someone shooting flares at the White House right now would qualify as committing an act of "civil disobedience," no.

Lauren Southern is still terrible, but it was a flare. Calm down. She's never burnt down a GOP office with staffers in it.

[cvparty]

I believe she lit a flare next to the boat, and the refugee boat was empty on its way to Libya to get refugees

What's so difficult about that for you to understand? These people are leaving off the coasts of Libya, so instead of picking them out of the water and dropping them back off in Libya, European boats are bringing them all the way to mainland Europe. This encourages more migrants to attempt the dangerous crossing of the Mediterranean, because they know they will be allowed into Europe. If they were just dropped back off in Libya then they wouldn't risk the trip, putting all those lives in danger.

And I don't give a sh**t if Libya doesn't want them, they are allowing these migrants to move through their country, and then set off from their coast, so they need to take responsibility for them.

That's not how this works.  You can't wave a magic wand and suddenly make the Libyan government do whatever you want them to do.

Then perhaps you can share with us the proposed solution by left leaning political parties to these waves of migrants headed for western countries that doesn't involve bringing them into our countries, which only encourages more of them to make the dangerous journey. For all your professing that it's not your stated position, you always end up on the side of open borders in any policy disagreement. It's because you want to import future voters, that's all you really care about.

There are many ways to force them to deal with the problem, economic sanctions being one of them.

It's the truth. There is no other reason to bring them into western countries. We could be paying other countries closer to their homes to host them, we could be putting economic sanctions on other countries that allow them to pass through their borders in order to stop the flow. There are several different ways to deal with the issue, but the left rejects all of them in favor of bringing them into our countries.

Muslims would probably be reliably conservative voters if people like you didn't want to slaughter them all in the name of "freedom". Considering born again/far right Christianity and extremist Islam don't have many differences.

Would you kindly please stop pretending you care one iota whatsoever about the dangers these immigrants face? That, not voter registration drives, is what is driving this policy you complete buffoon. The fact all you see are scary Muslims and potential leftist voters coming to Europe rather than dead children washing ashore speaks to your utter and complete lack of humanity, let alone character

I'm not conservative. I'm non-religious, and pro-equal rights for women and lgbt. I'm also left leaning on many economic issues. I just don't have a hatred of my own people and culture and seek to replace them via immigration in order to win elections, which seems to be a prerequisite for left leaning political parties in the west these days.

If you really cared about the working class in your own country then you wouldn't want to increase the supply of labor and drive down wages any further, especially at a time when automation is replacing more and more non-skilled labor jobs.

Well if it isn't badger, who can't actually argue a point and only resorts to insults instead. You don't care about dead children washing ashore, otherwise you'd put a stop to the incentives that bring them over in the first place. If they knew they weren't going to get taken all the way to Europe, and they weren't going to receive welfare when they got there, they wouldn't make the trip in the first place, putting all those lives in danger. It's your lack of basic logic that proves your lack of humanity, and shows us all your disgusting character.

In short your post was bad and you should feel bad.
