What I was just listening to is THE exact reason religion is insanely flawed, they said GOD isn't stopping them so they know they are right, or GOD would stop them...
A man was trapped in his house during a flood. He began praying to God to rescue him. He had a vision in his head of God’s hand reaching down from heaven and lifting him to safety. The water started to rise in his house. His neighbour urged him to leave and offered him a ride to safety. The man yelled back, “I am waiting for God to save me.” The neighbour drove off in his pick-up truck.
The man continued to pray and hold on to his vision. As the water began rising in his house, he had to climb up to the roof. A boat came by with some people heading for safe ground. They yelled at the man to grab a rope they were ready to throw and take him to safety. He told them that he was waiting for God to save him. They shook their heads and moved on.
The man continued to pray, believing with all his heart that he would be saved by God. The flood waters continued to rise. A helicopter flew by and a voice came over a loudspeaker offering to lower a ladder and take him off the roof. The man waved the helicopter away, shouting back that he was waiting for God to save him. The helicopter left. The flooding water came over the roof and caught him up and swept him away. He drowned.
When he reached heaven and asked, “God, why did you not save me? I believed in you with all my heart. Why did you let me drown?” God replied, “I sent you a pick-up truck, a boat and a helicopter and you refused all of them. What else could I possibly do for you?”
One was killed while resisting arrest. Just one. The one who resisted.
One was assassinated for their cause. Others have been jailed. I'd say that's accepting of the consequences.
Rosa Parks knew what to expect. Rosa Parks did not proclaim that she would rather be dead than in prison. You break the law and you can expect to be arrested.
It's the consequences that we should now be aware of. It's preemptive of what others can expect in the face of future protests against the government.

We've all seen him reaching.
So does that apply to her retroactively? Or just the militia members?

you dont think running from the cops is resisting?
I'm quite comfortable saying that it was a BS arrest. Are you?
