People used to have to die in masses for freedoms in this country. If the worst thing one could face for defending freedoms is some jail time until bail gets posted while the law determines their innocence then anyone who caves to pressure anyway is a complete coward.

And, since you seem to be making assumptions about what people you know nothing about could or could not hypothetically handle, maybe look a bit closer at my history. I have survived WAY harder shit than sitting in an air conditioned box with 3 squares a day for doing what I thought was right, so even if the threat of jail was credible, it would not deter me.

It is the bluster of people that think I even could be jailed for something like this that I am most amused by.

Truly it is fascinating and a bit sad how much fear there is in this thread over upsetting some state level officials.
