the Fifth Circuit concluded that Claiborne’s “three separate theories that might justify” holding a protest leader liable are a non-exhaustive list, and that the MAGA-infused court is allowed to create new exceptions to the First Amendment. It then ruled that the First Amendment does not apply “where a defendant creates unreasonably dangerous conditions, and where his creation of those conditions causes a plaintiff to sustain injuries.”

And what, exactly, were the “unreasonably dangerous conditions” created by the Mckesson-led protest in Baton Rouge? The Fifth Circuit faulted Mckesson for organizing “the protest to begin in front of the police station, obstructing access to the building,” for failing to “dissuade” protesters who allegedly stole water bottles from a grocery store, and for leading “the assembled protest onto a public highway, in violation of Louisiana criminal law.”

It's the correct decision. You cannot lead a protest onto the fuckin' highway and not be charged with a crime when someone gets hurt. This is not a 1st amendment issue. It's a "you can't block traffic as a way of protesting" issue.

a protest organizer faces potentially ruinous financial consequences if a single attendee at a mass protest commits an illegal act

Decentralize the organization and use an anonymous encrypted application instead of facebook like 99% of faggots do

That's hyperbolic rhetoric coming from a fag writer who referred to the 5th Circuit as "the MAGA-infused court".

The fuckin' nigger led a protest into a highway and someone got hurt, so he got charged.
