The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“These civilians are setting up blockades. You pull up and they check your license plate. These people aren't police. They're not there in any official capacity, but they check your license plate. This is highly illegal.

So I emailed the city of Minneapolis. And I had a simple question. Has anyone been arrested for setting up illegal blockades, for harassing citizens, for apparently having some sort of secret database by which they check whether your license plate belongs to an ICE vehicle

And after some back and forth with the city of Minneapolis, just a moment ago, we got a response from the Minneapolis police. I will read it to you”

“No arrests have been made”


No arrests have been made. So they are okay with this.

One law the left conveniently trips itself on is unlawful detainment: they seem to think they can hold people in a location against their will for whatever reason they choose. Yeah, no. It's only by the grace of God and the temperament of the people whose freedom of movement they're denying that several liberals haven't swallowed a mouthful of their own teeth already.
