There's lots of stuff I don't like, I just don't believe that people should be arrested for annoying me unless it's actually against the law. (that's kinda fascist)

Why not just advocate for new laws because it looks like by the lack of arrests that they're not doing anything illegal.

P.S. Public filming isn't illegal

No. This is what ballot harvesting and dropping off numerous ballots at different locations leads to!

Listen to Melody Jennings on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast.

It's part of an intimidation tactic. They'll waste days watching the ballot boxes, but they believe they're going to spot fraudsters, so ....

This is how they're choosing to spend precious time, time they'll never get back.

The last part about the public filming is what Melody Jennings said on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast.

Odd, you bring up the Klan as we all know the longest serving Democrat Senator, Bidens close friend, Robert Byrd, was a Kkk Grand Master. I wonder how many people were hung by his Recruits?

The following are analogous based on similar legal reasoning:
  • Reps. Karen Bass et al. Incitement Suit for Jan. 6 Capitol Attack
  • Eric Swalwell Incitement Suit for Jan. 6 Riots
  • Capitol Police Suit for Jan. 6 Riots
  • Second Capitol Police Suit for Jan. 6 Rich
  • Third Capitol Police Suit over the Jan. 6 Riots
  • Metropolitan Police Suit over the Jan. 6 Riots

Why would anyone get hurt if everything is honest and straightforward - and people drop off their own ballot?

Hysterical. That is like saying Mr. Trump should have forced Vice-President Mike Pence to resign, then install a genuine lackey like Mark Meadows, & set up the formal disruption of the count of electoral votes.
