Yes, you can now be arrested for handing out bananas to Black people.
It was predicted years ago that instead of changing the Constitution to make free speech illegal, they would just pass laws and set a precedent which made it illegal, regardless of what the Constitution says.
That appears to have happened.
An East Tennessee State University student was arrested Tuesday week after wearing a gorilla mask and carrying a rope during a Black Lives Matter protest on campus, according to local reports.
Tristan Rettke was charged with civil rights intimidation following the incident, according to a Johnson City Police Department report, WCYB-TV reported.
Earlier this week as students protested recent police shootings, Rettke walked amongst the crowd wearing a gorilla mask and offering protesters bananas attached to a rope, the East Tennessean, the university’s newspaper, reported.
Grant Madison, a junior at the university, told USA TODAY he was talking with a friend when Rettke walked up behind him.
“He passed by me and handed me a banana,” he said. “I snatched it out of his hand. I knew what he was trying to say, but I wasn’t going to try to retaliate against him.”
Madison, who livestreamed the incident on Facebook, said the young man stood there and taunted protesters for 15-20 minutes.
“As younger black folks … we don’t always see the same overt displays of racism our parents may have experienced or our grandparents,” he said. “For me, it was the first time I’ve experienced something so blatantly disrespectful and racist.”
Yeah.
I wonder why it’s happening now?
Can you think of anything that could have precipitated it?
Tristan Rettke is a Hero
Tristan Rettke understands the situation. That this might cause him problems in his future, but that whatever problems that it may cause are nothing compared to the problems we are going to have if we don’t stand-up and fight while we still have a chance.
We are going to be hunted down and slaughtered in the land our fathers conquered if we do not take a stand. It will not be long before it is too late.
Tristan Rettke is a hero. And you need to be inspired by him.
I don’t encourage people to do things which are illegal (but I’m not even sure they will even be able to convict him of anything here).
I do encourage you to go out and do whatever you can, and to do it now.
Time is not on our side.
I’m going to try figure out some more details about this and see if we’re able to pay whatever legal fees Tristan has through a crowdfunding effort.
