Public

Against my better judgment, I read this article. No idea who David Marcus is, but he's painfully stupid. Apparently what makes these "wine moms" criminal is their "obnoxious smugness" and "disturbing glee." It's so bad, Marcus claims, it might even be "a conspiracy." Spoiler: It's not.

$This often begins with infractions of the law that border on silly, such as throwing a Subway sandwich at a cop, but then the sandwich becomes a snowball, then a lock, and the next thing you know people are striking federal agents with SUVs. The video of Good and her partner heckling and, let's be honest, goading ICE officers with an obnoxious smugness that makes most people’s skin crawl, is just one of many. We see these self-important White women doing it in video after video after video, taunting cops, insulting journalists or even bystanders, often with a weird and disturbing glee.$

Sorry, that is crime, not protest.

Further, we need to ask ourselves, quite seriously, if groups of people training and then executing missions that put law enforcement and the public in harm's way may, in fact, be criminal conspiracies.

If one’s job is to be a neighborhood lookout for a street drug dealing operation, that is a crime. It's not entirely clear why doing the same thing to protect illegal immigrants, including many of whom are vicious criminals, isn’t a similar activity.
