@Uncle_troll85 @WalshFreedom That was also widely condemned and recognized as illegal. One illegal act doesn’t justify another.

@PaulaDeplorable @PrinceScrapbook @haxanvillain @TheJFreakinC Civil removal proceedings are different than rights. 4th, 5th, 8th, and 1st amendments fully apply. Not that it matters here since the private business was American owned.

@MsCatholicJules @Eweather13 Think of the damage to agriculture though. This would be a catastrophe for gardens and farms.

[Matthew Hiddemen @MatthewHiddemen]

@zicobarre LOL on the threat to arrest when they come back. Stating your fourth Amendment right isn't impeding. No judge in the country would allow that charge to go forward.

[Matthew Hiddemen @MatthewHiddemen]

@Maeve0330 @DesireeAmerica4 @pipsqueakyooper First Amendment still applies. There is no case that can be honestly made here to justify this arrest.

[Matthew Hiddemen @MatthewHiddemen]

@Use_facts @DesireeAmerica4 The fire in a theater standard hasn’t been legal since 1960. This was an unlawful arrest under the first amendment.

[Matthew Hiddemen @MatthewHiddemen]

@Zachariahskylab @HaskElizondo @David_J_Bier That has nothing whatsoever to do with an American citizen being beaten on the street. How do you justify this? Would it be OK if this happened to you?

[Matthew Hiddemen @MatthewHiddemen]

@xokliz @RinosSuck47 @LongTimeHistory The 4th applies to anyone regardless of citizenship. Administrative warrants were what British customs agents used to search colonists home on demand. The requirement for judicial oversight to issue a warrant to enter/search a home was a direct response to the revolution.

[Matthew Hiddemen @MatthewHiddemen]

@reaccionapr @AutumnTweets @LongTimeHistory No. Homeowners may use force to remove someone who is not authorized to be in the house.

@DisavowTrump20 The tradition to swear the oath of office on a holy book is rooted in the desire to have that person believe they might get divine punishment for breaking that oath. For that tradition to have any meaning, the holy book has to be the book of the faith that person follows.

@GibbsCalhoun @DisavowTrump20 Article 6 "but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

@johnskrb @krassenstein Elements of the crime make the difference. If you can't prove the specific elements (from wording), the only outcome is acquittal. This happens when disorderly conduct is overcharged.

@CanuckCrusaderX @LakeLouise1988 @StephenM Socially, there are always consequences, but if that employer is the government, then the First Amendment specifically prohibits retaliatory actions for speech. If the government can punish you for speech, then you weren't free to say it.

@SEAMOUNT1976 @nocapmedia I'm guessing drunk in public.

[Matthew Hiddemen @MatthewHiddemen]

@EnzoDiGiuseppe @JamesTate121 The flaw in this is that the SYGL only applies to state legal proceedings. The Feds would charge you under their statutes instead.

[Matthew Hiddemen @MatthewHiddemen]

@CondemnedUSA @JamesTate121 Also has substantial case law that such statements are pure opinion covered by the first amendment and are not libel/slander/defamation.

[Matthew Hiddemen @MatthewHiddemen]

@BasedSavannah @MarkSZaidEsq @OliviaTroye I imagine you hope for limitless free energy as well? Because that's just as likely. Defamation must be completely provable as false - statements of pure opinion are not defamatory ever.

[Matthew Hiddemen @MatthewHiddemen]

@WayneMathison @MatthewCappucci Is this behavior disgusting and unacceptable, absolutely? But, 15 years is the typical maximum for vehicular homicide. You aren't going to get time like that for vandalism, nor would it pass muster under the 8th given that more serious crimes are punished less severely.

Gotta love a 2lb Pink Brandywine, even if it has a few days left to fully ripen.
