I'll summarize the post for those who don't wat to read this wall of word. DUmmy thinks protestors should go to Supreme Court Justices' houses to protest. And they should all be armed. And I guess he thinks that threatening Supreme Court Justices will convince them to change their votes. I think he also believes that this would, in some way, not be met with an atrociously large law enforcement response. He, of course, will not be in attendance. But he's happy to volunteer other people to go get arrested.

A call for militancy, and freedom for our women
If this is not the time for pro-life and pro-freedom Democrats to "take off the gloves", I don't know when that would be...
(Pardon me for co-opting one of the terms of the far-right, "pro-life"... but which party has established itself as more in favor of protecting "life" in the past 2 years--- Democrats or Republicans?? "My body, my choice"?? How soon they forget co-opting that phrase!) IF the pending overturning of the 'Roe v. Wade' decision is accomplished, it will result in the deaths of thousands of American women, if not more...
Life as we know it has always been defined by 2 dates-- the date of birth, and the date of death. The Jewish religion, which is the basis for Christianity, recognizes it as such.
(thus ends my rebuttal of the religious argument-- as any astute observer recognizes, the "religious right" will recognize, they cherry-pick whatever verses from the Bible which will support their political arguments, and ignore the rest, but I thought I should put that out there anyway). Republicans only care about "life", before it actually draws breath... after that, they cannot be bothered with it.
The purported "pending" decision of this "Supreme Court", is as illegitimate as the 'Dred Scot' decision-- which likewise adjudicated a large number of American citizens as non-citizens, as non-deserving of the rights afforded to all recognized citizens of this country.... In this case, it is even worse--- they attempt to strip the reproductive rights of more than half of all of the citizens of this country, all the women!!!
However, the decision is not "official", yet.... the 'leak' has afforded the opportunity for the American people to make their opinions heard on the matter, before the 'decision' is official...
What I propose, is that "the masses" make their voices heard, and SEEN... and that rank-and-file democrats "take off the gloves"...
"politics is not 'beanball' ", maybe you heard that somewhere....
I propose that protesters against this 'pending decision' make themselves known--- NOT just in front of the Supreme Court building, but AT THE HOMES of those justices who are noted as supporting it!!!! (I would be there myself, if I were closer)
These justices who are in favor of eliminating the sacred right of a woman, to control their own bodies--- are threatening the rights of a woman in her own home--- should they not feel the blowback against that threat in their own homes? I say YES!!!
YES, I say "DOXX THEM!" They are about to vote against the 'right to privacy' against all American women! What's good enough for more than 50% of the population of America, is good enough for 4 white men and one misguided American woman!
FURTHERMORE, I say that those protesters against this pending decision, who make their presence known at the personal homes of these renegade justices (as far as local laws will allow), should be visibly ARMED!
(They are just as deserving of all protections of the Constitution of the United States as the right-wing, aren't they ??? Besides that, the will have legitimate concerns about 'personal self-defense') If the local law will not support the display of long guns, I say that those protesters should arm themselves with baseball bats... or perhaps, pitchforks..
(If those right-wing justices "feel threatened" by such a display, well, that will be just too *******ed bad... they support the "right to bear arms", don't they? They support the doctrine that the many deaths of children in school shootings, and other mass shootings, is "the price of liberty" supporting the 2nd amendment, don't they??)
If they are going to ultimately vote for this decision, they should feel the pressure from the American people, who ultimately have no legal recourse against such a decision, other than screaming from the rooftops-- or screaming in front of the house of these justices... they should feel the pressure inside their own homes, as do all American women right now, who care about their reproductive freedom!
"This is not our way" ???
**** that. We are too nice. The time for "nice" is over. It obviously has not worked, anyway. The mass of voters seem to see "nice" as "weak". It is time for Democrats, and democrats, to make a show of force--- over this issue, because we love our women-- and because we love women. This issue is where they are 'crossing the line'.
(Personally, as a citizen of Michigan, I felt that the far-right 'crossed the line' when they occupied the Capital building in Michigan in April 2020-- HEAVILY ARMED--- in protest of COVID policies which were intended to protect "life"---- fortunately, no one triggered their arms, but they obviously made their "opinions" visible... I do not think they should be un-answered).
(In this post I am in no sense 'advocating violence' against those we oppose politically, or against any justices.....
If they feel 'threatened' by the constitutionally-protected "right to bear arms", that will be just too *******ed bad.... but that right is not afforded only to the far right... Unfortunately, IMHO, the right is much more heavily armed than than left, so the left is much more justified in feeling the need to afford themselves of the right of armed "self-defense"...)
LET THOSE JUSTICES FEEL THE DISPLEASURE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, IN THEIR HOMES!!!
And until the official decision is actually issued... and after that...
Those who say "we are too good for that"? Well, bless you, you are right, we are.... but that does us no good in this instance, it does nothing to win the fight, it is "unilateral disarmament". Stay in your homes, and be better than the Republicans... and maybe someday, our moral superiority will be recognized by the voters. For the moment, they only seem to recognize "strength"--- or a facsimile thereof.
As I implied before, I want these justices to feel the strength of the displeasure of the American people at the cancellation of a freedom which has stood for 49 years. If the resulting protests result in their fear for the safety of themselves, or members of their families, that is TOO ******* BAD! (that is the cost of maintaining '2nd amendment freedoms', as we have been told by them, many times...!!!! "FREEDOM" is not only for the far-right!!!)
It is long past time for 'the shoe to be placed upon the other foot'.
Let them sow what they have reaped!
DUmmy apparently doesn't understand the implications of threatening a court official with violence, particularly when they are acting in accordance with their official duties. He also don't have a clue about the "2nd amendment freedoms" that exist in the DC area.

1. Could you pls
Do a quick summary? I'm not sure where you're coming from. Maybe a bit of TLDR.
Canetoad (who I believe is from Australia) is confused and needs a Twitter soundbite. OK, Canetoad, here it is "Threaten public officials with violence, win new and interesting prizes.".

2. Not sure what you are asking for....
Could you do a quick reading of the whole post? lol
The right has practiced the tactic, in the past year or so, of targeting protests against the actual homes of those they opposed, over "covid freedoms" or "the big lie" or whatever... and often carried guns while doing so.
I think Democrats who support reproductive freedom should co-opt that tactic, on an issue which is obviously much more important than the petty concerns of the right-wing protesters...
The far-right justices obviously believe that they are "immune" from the displeasure of American voters, and legally, they are mostly correct--- however, they are not immune from a first amendment expression of that displeasure, WHERE THEY LIVE (as well as a second amendment expression of the right to self-defense, even if it means "gun-toting left-wingers" in front of their house!)
"TLDR"? I hate all the ****ing acronyms used on this site, it is laziness! I am old and know few of them..
I can only think of a few protests at politician's homes, and they were all by Dems and their supporters.

3. Ah, "TLDR" ?
Ok I googled it..
'canetoad', I am DIY.
('disappointed in you')
Especially with your username, I held a cane toad as a pet for many years. Once her even ran for president, and had his own web-page! lol
It was not all that long...
Smartest people on the internet. Can you get stoned licking a cane toad. If so, DemocraticPatriot should get a cat. Better for his health and the cat will like it.

4. Wow, nobody even told me to "calm down" ?
Maybe that is a 'good sign'! lol

5. Or maybe it is a sign of unilateral surrender...
I would have thought my big noise would have generated some discussion, pro or con...
or lectures about "we are better than that", and about how it is wrong to DOX justices, no matter what--
or even a few who felt as I do, but are more disciplined in their thinking... to urge restraint.
Or maybe the lack of response to the post is "silent approval"....
Anybody know about DC gun laws? i have the feeling that it may be unlawful, to open carry in the city, due to the restraint of the Jan-6ers, and a few who were arrested-- but I don't know...
Anyone have information on that ?
The response to your "big noise" is that you're an idiot. And responding several times to yourself is only providing additional confirmation. And if he really wants to find out about DC gun laws he could try this thing called the internet. It's chockful of useful information.
And, finally, he gets a meaningful response to his manifesto.

6. "our women"?
I do not believe this literary effort is apt to be received in the way that you intend. Pitchforks?
That's the only response to the OP that indicates someone actually read it. And it's a scold for not being "woke" enough. He probably spent hours on that impotent screed and, much like a Will Pitt or NanceGreggs post, it's nothing but the pouting rant of a two year old.
