Look who's claiming self-defense

Post by bignflnut »

Warning: There's video and this is a Huffington Post article.
A middle school teacher in Berkeley, California, accused of punching a neo-Nazi during a 2016 protest is arguing that standing up to fascism is not a crime.

Yvette Felarca, 47, was arrested last month for her involvement in a June 2016 anti-fascist demonstration held in Sacramento.

Felarca, who is a member of an activist group called By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), has been charged with felony assault, as well as two misdemeanor counts of inciting and participating in a riot, according to KPIX TV.

Footage of the demonstration appears to show Felarca repeatedly punching a member of the Traditionalist Worker Party, a white nationalist group described as ”a front for neo-Nazi sympathizers” by ABC 10. The taller man is holding up his hands while trying to get police officers to help. Other protesters drag the man to the ground before the police intervene.
Follow the twisted logic:
A) People that I disagree with are a threat to the community/nation. Dehumanizing language leads to violence, once again.
B) I have the right to initiate physical violence against said threat, and call it "self-defense". (The "violence" was amazingly weak, then she's tossed around like a rag doll)

This has only taken a year...and she hasn't entered a plea yet...

I'm not for fascism...no matter how they masquerade as angels of light. It's all so self important and whipped up.

These hypocrites use something just like self-defense when it comes to defending their feelings and their microaggressions (small fists of fury joke :lol: ). It's California, this might pass for some type of legal reasoning....

This is a common refrain from the snowflakes. Hate speech (as they define it, not just neo-nazis) creates violence of presence (micro aggression, macro aggression), so they are justified in using violence first to prevent the violence they allege might happen. In short, they are on the come.

For their sake, I hope it doesn't stick. The people of the gun might start to think the same way once a gun-grabbing Dem gets back in office. That won't work out well for them or, frankly, the country. But college snowflakes haven't been taught critical thinking skills like what is good for the goose is good for the gander. And the gander is far more heavily armed.

As I have suggested to many others in the past, ''take the deal.''
Acquisitions thus far:

-Slingshot

-Soda straw and peas
-Sharpened pencil

Yeah, I'm that good
