Why are some trump supporters intimidating voters near the polls?

@thinkingman

can we all make a pledge to stop reading yahoo news?

I took that pledge when they deleted the comments section because most of the comments were people calling them out for the liars they are. Those comments were the only reason to go there.

They’re not blocking anything. Here’s his video “proof.”
Freeze frame underneath, as he pans to the left, you can clearly see that the circle driveway is already blocked with white placards, presumably by the polling place itself.

I have already changed my thread title from blocked to intimidate. Try and keep up.

“Intimidated” is in the eye of the snowflake.

Was what they were doing illegal or were they a legal distance from the poll? I count five people there expressing their views. People can choose to feel intimidated for legitimate or not legitimate reasons.
Odd that those complaining about these five people stating their views call this intimidation while they call burning buildings and beating people to be “protesting

Apples to oranges.

Deal with the Fairfax, Virginia intimidation. Not other things.

Was what they did right or wrong?

Or are you saying who cares.

Exactly. And no need for quotation marks.

So people would say it was not intimidation.

You must be among them.

Photos and videos by Washington Informer reporter Anthony Tilghman show Trump supporters blocking the path to the early voting site, standing together waving Trump flags and chanting “Four more years!”

Yeah that’s one way to win. Stop people from voting.

One man. One vote. Except if you are voting for Biden.

Good Grief. Biden people are smashing windows, beating people, setting fires, harassing diners, damaging cars blinding cops and now suddenly you are offended? Give me break. Your party has thousands of goons. And you’ve been pro violence for months.

Election officials said that the group stayed about 100 feet from the entrance to the building and, contrary to posts on social media, were not directly blocking access to the building.

“I don’t think there was any way to need or feel intimidated in any form,” Mr. Rastatter said. He added that county officials asked the group on several instances to back away from the curb, and that the group complied.

Personally, I think it’s a dumb move. That kind of thing is not going to change anyone’s mind about who they are voting for.

Were it me, even voting for Trump, it would tick me off.

No, if a group of Democrats were yelling their slogans a legal distance from the polls, I would not feel intimidated and rush to Yahoo news, which would then ignore it.

Near a polling place, I missed that news.

If they were within an illegal distance of the poll, the police should have been called. Otherwise, free speech. You don’t have to be violent for it to be protected speech.

Exactly, can’t we have a civil, May the best man win election instead of nonsense from both sides.

It’s going to be a bitter hard fought election with both sides wanting to win.

At least have some civility near the polling place.

Plenty of other places to hold a protest.

Its stupid, because people don’t go to the polling place undecided as to whom they will vote. That’s the worst that can be said about it.

Virginia state law prohibits intimidation.

I doubt that yelling “four more years” would break that law. You can’t just yell “I’m intimidated” and have it be intimidation.

Agreed. It’s simply in poor taste.

Intimidation is subjective.

If they weren’t blocking the voters and staying the 100 required feet away then they weren’t breaking any laws.

They don’t have any clue who these people are going to vote for so how can someone feel intimidated?

Which would sort of make enforcing that law Unconstitutional wouldn’t it? First amendment applies here.

They said they support BLM. I’m intimidated. Arrest them.

So you were wrong and the “reporter” was showing us his TDS. Thanks for sharing?
