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.

    Have you seriously not noticed the wall-to-wall news coverage of early voting the last few weeks? Really?!?

    Understandable.
    He's in a lockdown somewhere in Yellowstone. The bears there didn't care enough to inform him he can vote earlier and he likely thought the smoke messages on the mountains top are just from the fires in California.

      Seriously speaking, I'm sad to hear it.
      Stay safe, take care. Even if you're not in immediate danger from fires, smoke for 2-3 day all the time is nasty enough (I tell you this as one who had the experience for week+ last Jan in Melbourne).
