Protestors with a permit teargassed on the way to vote.

Journal by DeathMonkey

In other totally-not-a-slide-into-fascism news, peaceful protestors who had a permit to march were teargassed on the way to vote.

Peaceful march to the polls in North Carolina is met with police pepper spray and arrests, causing outcry on eve of election

They have elections in all those shithole dictatorial countries too. They just make sure the wrong people don't vote.

The participants in Saturday’s “I Am Change” march had intended to conclude at an early-voting site to emphasize turnout in the final days of the presidential campaign. Those plans were thrown into disarray when law-enforcement officers in riot gear and gas masks insisted demonstrators move off the street and clear county property, despite a permit authorizing their presence.

    Woops you got fact checked again =)

    If we take your typical rightwing approach you will now be crying about censorship! Or would that only be if SN added a link to the fact checking comment at the top of yours? That would be censorship right? Not like you would hold SN to lesser standards than Twitter riiiiight?

    Goddamn I love seing you fall on your face =) I'll sort out the morality of it later, or just enjoy a little bit of the dark side you rightwingers love so much.
