"I can't believe what they're doing to those protesters! This isn't America!" (hexbear.net)

A lib I work with who has good politics about Palestine (shocking given his politics on basically everything else) had this to say in regards to the treatment of professors and student protesters.

All I could think was "have you been living in a cave?"

This guy actually believes the hype about America; Never mind the BLM protesters who were also arrested and given unacceptable prison sentences, never mind the national guard getting called on protesters, never mind cops killing protesters from time to time, now this is isn't America.

It's been America for a long time, I've no idea how he hasn't noticed to be honest.

Reminds me of the lib comments about the anti protesters.

"How do they not see the irony of wrapping themselves in an American flag and then attacking anti war protestors"

How do you not realize that's not ironic that's exactly what that flag stands for.

Their questions hit home, and I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today -- my own government....

Libs would probably be appalled by the man who spoke these word.
