Assaulting health care workers who are performing their duties is a federal felony. I don't know if that extends to destroying their equipment and supplies, but...

Oh who am I kidding. They're cops, nothing will happen to them either way.

Attacking food and water supplies and "other materials needed for survival" is outlawed by Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions.

However Protocol I has not been ratified by the US government. It also hasn't been ratified by India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Israel, Iran, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Somalia and Eritrea. Not exactly a group of countries with great human rights records.

I was just adding to it. Wasn't trying to make you look uninformed or not insightful. I see how starting with "pretty obvious" can come off tho.

Also, and please correct me if Im wrong, the conventions wouldnt apply to this type of conflict unless:
1) the military is involved
2) the rebel force has a leadership hierarchy
3) the rebel force agrees to abide by the conventions

...were getting there.

I expected the white nationalists would be the first people to attack medical professionals or hospitals, but now that its happened, I'm still disappointed.

I don't understand this at all. I live near Asheville and get the Asheville news. As far as I know, it's been completely quiet there. I'm not even sure why police would be in riot gear to begin with.

I've checked the local news.
Here's the grand total of Asheville Arrests...

--15 Arrests--
14 for Failure to Disperse (after curfew most likely)
1 for Assault with a deadly weapon (He threw a "pyrotechnic mortar" at a cop, probably a firecracker)

Also 2 people were arrested on gun charges. One was open carrying, and one was carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, on the cop's side....

In an effort to maintain the safety of those protesting, the Asheville Police Department requested the assistance of the National Guard and outlined their company protocol when it comes to the use of tear gas and pepper balls.

When me and the officer were shield to chest, the officer behind them actually grabbed my wrist and dragged me behind the line and threw me to the ground, Gantz said.

He was one of the peaceful protesters, Stone said. And they threw a tear gas canister right beside his feet that exploded.

They just shot me in the hip with a beanbag, and then I think I got shot eight or nine times with rubber bullets, he said.


The Asheville Police has basically gone full gestapo for a relatively small group of protesters who were apparently peaceful.

the irony is almost hilarious if it weren't tragic.

you have a nation in angry protest of illegal police brutality and police respond with illegal brutality

they will never learn

time for massive unrest and a sea change

I just read, a completely serious, twitter post that justified this by saying the medical supplies violated the 8pm curfew. The water bottles broke curfew. I hope they don't decide my house is breaking curfew.

It's like 81 to 85 degrees in Asheville. How are they freezing water bottles on the side walk? And why has not a single person been charged with that if it's happening?

It's either something that's actually happened elsewhere or something that he "heard about"

Read the fucking Geneva convention.

The Geneva Conventions are rules that apply only in times of armed conflict
To which this is not an armed conflict under the Geneva convention. You are reading bullshit off twitter from people that thinks the Geneva convention banned hollow points, even though that was something completely different and the US never signed it.

But it doesnt apply to everyone. I discussed what would need to happen for the conventions to apply to this situation in post 18. Thats just my interpretation though, so feel free to elaborate or correct.

For fucks sake can I have just one fucking day.

No, he said they were going missing. He didnt lay blame on any particular group of people. They were going missing. Everyone said so. Because they were.

Please stop. Give me a fucking break from correcting shit about a leader I despise.
