The teen, whose identity is being withheld because of his age, was diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder, or ODD, two days after he was arrested and housed at Eastlake Juvenile Hall in June 2019, the lawsuit said.

witnessla has the complaint.
When faced with injustice-- including the secret police in Portland-- a lot of people assume the victims must have done something to provoke and/or deserve the injustice.
Some reasons:
They may support those inflicting the injustice, and want to explain this away.
They may hate those suffering the injustice.
They may want to assure themselves that they are safe against similar injustices.
They may insinuate that the victims deserved it to drive any victims and/or allies from the platform.
And so on.
How can we get through?
âThey came first for the Communists, and I didnât speak up because I wasnât a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didnât speak up because I wasnât a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didnât speak up because I wasnât a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didnât speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.â

Smaller religious minorities such as the Jehovahâs Witnesses and BahĂĄâĂ Faith were banned in Germany, while the eradication of Judaism by the genocide of its adherents was attempted. The Salvation Army, the Christian Saints[clarification needed] and the Seventh-day Adventist Church all disappeared from Germany, while astrologers, healers, fortune tellers, and witchcraft were banned. However, the small pagan âGerman Faith Movementâ supported the Nazis.

the regime strongly opposed âGodless Communismâ[170][171] and all of Germanyâs freethinking (freigeist), atheist, and largely left-wing organizations were banned

I did not know that the guy who originally gave the speech actually initially supported the Nazis and later ended up in a concentration camp. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_âŠ) Iâd always heard it in the same sense as âThe only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.â
A religion of cruelty exists to protect stupid rich people. The smart rich people are too stupid to realize they need regular people who are not guards. To make their conveniences.
THIS. I just had a man in my office who was talking about how he was able to handle the police because he could look them in the eye. And it was just absurd. Cops know all the tricks.
Okay, without looking it up, itâs either Burke, or someone with the first name of Thomas from England, eh?
All I know is that this shitâs been going on and off for millennia; and that, for some reason, USUALLY, an age of enlightenment follows.
And I have a BIG problem with the thought of Pastafarians just doing nothing.
