Arg. 2. President Hoover isn’t in charge anymore (DC police force is in charge or is taking charge of the situation without any order given from the higher ups). Gen MacArthur stepped in to prevent violence between police and protesters. (Doc. 5, 9, 13)…
What was the supposed spark that initiated this violence? Violence erupted in many parts after an speech was spoken.…
January 6, 2021: The Capitol Riot The January 6 riot, often referred to as the Capital insurrection, is a highly significant event in contemporary American history. The event that took place in Washington that day, while widely condemned for the disruption it caused, drew attention to many deeper issues within the nation at large on the topic of voting and honest democracy. From concerns about electoral integrity and the right to protest, to the internal divisions within the Republican Party itself, the Capitol riot highlights both the passion and peril inherent in modern American political discourse. The event underscored deep divisions within the Republican Party itself, and shed light into how many Americans were feeling there was injustice.…
Firstly for the white nationalist side, the preconceived notion they had towards the protestors was “this city is run by jewish communist and criminal n******,”. These notions came from stereotypes, and prejudice from a very young age taught by the environment they grew up in. Dogmatism was used a lot during Christopher Cantwell’s arguments, when he explains the car going through the crowd he completely ignores the reporter’s comments on other people’s opinion. Morality was demonstrated by the counter protesters, after the car went through the crowd of protestors. The Unite the Right protesters showed evidence that they had an empathy gap towards the protesters who got hurt during the rallies, by saying it was a win for them because the other protestors got hurt and one died.…
The 60’s was another time and era of the country - the one in which activism played a major role in. A new generation of radicalism in America was emerging and along with them came the publication of Saul Alinsky’s book, Rules for Radicals.…
The initial concern the mayor had become true. The negative impact for the city grew to a massive hatred and Mayor had to do everything in his power to get the Yippies under control. Having immense power Daley’s values arose to an outstanding matter of strength. Him and the police force could no longer witness the hate crime the Yippies were portraying against the United States. With much Chicago pride, Mayor Daley still refused to move the convention elsewhere. He wanted to have the riots exposed to the world and continue his rigid effort to maintain order and keep the Yippies under control.…
In response to the cancellation, Shapiro said he would be attending the event anyway; this is when all the madness from the campus security, Young Americans for Freedom, and student became involved. This brought Shapiro to his first topic which was free speech/ First Amendment (3:50-5:35). Shapiro repeats that freedom of speech is the right to express any opinions without censorship or restraint. This is what the student outside are trying to do and the faculty inside the classrooms which is highly untrue. Everyone including students have the right to protest which is a human right by this country. Students have the right to protest as well as you have and everyone else in this nation have freedom of speech. These human rights to protest can manifestation itself to the other human rights which is freedom of assembly and the right to freedom of association and lastly the right to freedom of speech. Shapiro also stated, “You can all go screw yourself” (4:15-4:22) by Shapiro stating this remark lower the credibility of his speech. Shapiro proves himself as an academic individual so why doesn’t he show it in this…
For instance, when President Donald Trump mentioned his rival Hillary Clinton at a rally, his supporters yelled “’Put her in jail! Waterboard Hillary!’” (Dana Milbank) and later, those same supporters called for security just because John, an ordinary civilian attending the rally “’got into a political argument with some Trump fans” (Dana Milbank). Since many people consider politics a significant issue, those involved with politics naturally stand their ground for their ideas. Under those circumstances, however, with their energy and activities intensifying with larger numbers, Trump supporters end up causing much more conflict with Hillary supporters than necessary. Furthermore, while John did not physically harm anyone, Trump supporters let their rage overwhelm them to the point where security forcefully removed John from the rally to prevent further conflict. On the other hand, in Lord of the Flies, when Jack’s tribe conducted a war dance, “Now out of the terror rose another desire, thick, urgent, blind” (Golding 152), and once Simon entered the party “there were no words, and no movements but the tearing of teeth and claws” (Golding 153). While everyone on the island started out civilized, the lack of adult pressure plus Jack’s ardent struggle for power led to him taking drastic measures to obtain power on the island. However, unlike John’s situation at…
The New York State Republican Committee’s annual gala in Midtown Thursday night, with all three Republican presidential candidates scheduled to speak, was to draw over 10,000 Trump protesters according to liberal anti-Trump forces.…
There are eight hate groups that are active in Tennessee. These groups are: the Ku Klux Klan, White Nationalist, Black Separatist, Racist Skinheads, General Hate, Neo Confederate, Anti Muslim, and Neo Nazi. These hate groups are broken up to roughly thirty for groups across the state of Tennessee. I had to do an assignment on hate groups in Tennessee over a year ago and thought that there was a lot, but since then it has increased by around ten more hate groups locations. I am shocked that these hate groups are increasing so quickly. According to our textbook prejudice exist because of competition, ignorance, boosting self-esteem, stereotypes, and rationalizations for oppression. I think that each of these describe the existence and activity…
Violence, racism, and discrimination. These three words describe the events that should have never happened in Charlottesville, Virginia. White nationalists came to the city to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue, supporters of the removal of the statue came to counter the protest. While the crowd was originally permitted to protest pecefully, violence erupted between the two groups, leading the city officials to deem it unlawful. City officials deployed riot police to remove the protesters when violent clashes occurred. More counter protesters took to the streets, wanting the white nationalist group out of Charlottesville. As police dispersed the crowds, James Alex Fields Jr. allegedly drove a silver Dodge Challenger into the crowds,…
Domestic terrorism includes an act of intimidation or violence by citizens of the country. These terrorists try to inculcate fear to help their objectives that are ideological, political, and/or social. Milo Yiannopoulos, an editor at Breitbart News, was supposed to talk at the University of California at Berkeley, but was forced to cancel because a riot broke out. The riot was so bad that republicans and Yiannopoulos supporters were attacked and over $100,000 worth of damages were made. During this time these rioters were holding us signs that included: "This is war" and "No safe spaces for racists". At New York University, Gavin McInnes, co-founder of Vice Media and comic, was invited to give a speech. During this time, anti-free speech rioters…
Donald Trump contributed to campaigns of both Republican Party and Democratic Party candidates over two decades of U.S. elections. Trump was an early supporter of Ronald Reagan for President of the United States. The Wall Street Journal poll released in March 2011 found that Trump was leading among potential contenders for the Republican Nomination, ahead of Mitt Romney. A Newsweek poll conducted in February 2011 showed Trump within a few points of President Barack Obama, with many undecided voters. The poll released in April of 2011 by Public Policy Polling showed Trump having a nine-point lead in a potential contest for the Republican Nomination while he was still considering a run.…
Some of those going to the rally said the shooting was a scorn wrongdoing, in spite of the fact that police said they were all the while researching the intention.…
Violent protest though also has shown to be effective at times, is rarely successful because the government will not give into certain behavior that just condones giving a crying toddler candy. In scenarios, we can relate the government to a parent and we the people as its children. It is common sense that children who throw a tantrum are less likely to achieve desired wishes over a child who is patient and appropriately vocalizes, just the way we should with our…
