ACLU wants more to be street protesters
The American Civil Liberties Union wants more protesters:
ACLU Launches National ‘Resistance’ Training
March 12, 2017
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) staged a nationwide training event Saturday to make sure people are aware of their rights as protesters and urge organized, public resistance by those opposed to policies of President Donald Trump.
A month ago Kellyanne Conway pointed out the media’s role in “emboldening” violent protesters (in this case at Berkeley). …
Other parts of Saturday’s event detailed the rules for demonstrations on streets, sidewalks and in public parks, and the rights people have when arrested such as the right to remain silent. ACLU attorney Lee Rowland said large demonstrations generally require a local permit, but government can’t typically shut down protesters in public places without good reason.
“The government can’t censor you just because it disagrees with your opinion,” Rowland said.
ACLU launches nationwide training on protest, resistance
The American Civil Liberties Union staged a nationwide training event Saturday to make sure people are aware of their rights as protesters and urge organized, public resistance by those opposed to policies of President Donald Trump.
Organizers said the event at a sports arena on the University of Miami campus was livestreamed to locations in all 50 states. ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero said 200,000 people had signed up to attend one of an estimated 2,000 local events.
The event, staged in town hall style, was aimed at capitalizing on numerous demonstrations since Trump’s election in November and to make sure people know their rights to protest, Romero said. He said priority issues are immigration, the First Amendment free speech and religious freedom rights, civil and reproductive rights and rights of gay, lesbian and transgender people.
“We will bring all the lawsuits necessary to defend these rights,” Romero said. “We’ll do the work in the courts. You do the work in the streets. People are motivated. They want to be engaged.” http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/aclu-launches-nationwide-training-protest-resistance-46067312
Here is something I posted here back in 2011:
Specifically, I expect violent protests in the USA, UK, and Canada (though it may be different there). (Thiel B. Riots in London and Spain. COGwriter, August 7, 2011)
Consider something I posted here back in September:
For years I have warned that more civil unrest was coming to the USA. We have already seen a re-emergence of civil unrest already in 2015 and 2016.
That does not mean that I agree that globalists will necessarily trigger it etc. But the media certainly has fanned the flames in the past and I expect them to do more such fanning in the future if Donald Trump were to win. (Thiel B. ‘Chaos will erupt across America in less than 100 days… no matter who wins the election’. COGwriter, September 5, 2016)
We certainly have seen a lot more support for protests, even when the protesters are clearly wrong, than we used to in the USA.
Various ones have reported that Hillary Clinton (see Hillary Clinton pushing for ‘resistance’–there will be more violence in the cities!) and Barack Obama are part of the reasons.
Riots are not unexpected. Notice some biblical prophecies:
25 There shall be terror within (Deuteronomy 32:25)
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (2 Timothy 3:1-7)
23 ‘Make a chain,
For the land is filled with crimes of blood,
And the city is full of violence.
24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles,
And they will possess their houses;
I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
And their holy places shall be defiled. (Ezekiel 7:23-24)13 … evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13)
Although there will be some type of lull internationally (see The ‘Peace Deal’ of Daniel 9:27), we will see violence, terrors, and persecution greatly increase before Jesus returns (cf. Daniel 7:25; see also Persecutions by Church and State).
While there can be a time for protests (cf. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8), the results of increased protests will not be good.
Jesus taught:
25 Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. (Matthew 12:25)
We are seeing more divide in the USA and parts of it certainly appear to be intentional. Much of it is ideological. The USA is becoming less and less united and more polarized.
The mainstream media seems to be supportive of this and various groups realize this. Hence, the increase in training protesters.
This will not end well for the USA (cf. Habakkuk 2:6-8; Daniel 11:39).
The Kingdom of God is the Solution. Watch, repent, and pray (cf. Luke 21:36).
