Summary
A GOP town hall in Idaho turned violent when private security, LEAR Asset Management, forcibly removed Teresa Borrenpohl for speaking out.
The incident escalated after Borrenpohl questioned a panelist’s anti-abortion stance, leading to her being dragged out by unmarked security. Sheriff Norris, present but in plainclothes, did not intervene initially.
LEAR, known for aggressive tactics, was revealed to have been hired by the town hall organizers. Police later revoked LEAR’s city license and clarified that removing someone for speaking out is unlawful.
The incident shows rising tensions and the blurring lines between political events and private security enforcement in conservative areas.
You don’t have a Constitutional right to say the N word at your job, but you have a Constitutional right to ask your government questions.
They’re not the same thing, as equally important as they are to you.
I’m going to laugh when you people get sent to the work camps as the “consequences” of your speech while you’re too stubborn to admit that the rhetoric you use can have unintended consequences.
And that is all i ever need to know about you.
Think of me when the judge/jury drops the “consequences” line on you!

Getting in my practice runs. I’d suggest you guys start working on your cardio now, it’ll be easier on you than having to develop your endurance at the end of a DOGE cattleprod.
^ Wut the acktual phuck are you even talking about here?
How did the people on Lemmy bring about the jackbooted thug shit at this town hall?
Didn’t hear the little tinpot dictator drop his line about “consequences?”
Lemmy alone didn’t do shit because there’s not enough of us to matter. Spreading suspiciously poorly phrased rhetoric is about more than one little corner of the internet though.
They repeat it to their friends. They said it on Twitter before leaving.
And the people who said it there kept saying and defending it here. All because they can’t figure out that a slogan that needs a paragraph of explanation to properly understand as anything but an attack on liberty is a bad fucking slogan.
The fascists won’t change their actions because of it, they’ll do what they want to their “enemies” because that’s what a fascist is, but they’ll toss the idiot words back in our faces while the brainless horde of “centrists” will bob their little brainlet cases and go “Yeah. These are the consequences for your harmful speech!”
