How do you go from dethroning tyrants to "my beeping is annoying"?

[*Nately120*]

I think it's more like how do you go from "I'd rather die a patriot than live under tyranny!" to "This ankle monitor is inconvenient, can I stop being held accountable for my actions?"

I say take it off and throw his ass in a federal-pound-me-in-the-ass prison.

What happened to do what you're told by the law?

Honest answer, I think these people are convinced they did nothing wrong...or more like they did something wrong for the right reasons.  Trump has a way of "deputizing" people that democrats who use fighting language don't. 

So yes, both sides use "fight" language, but Trump is entertaining in the sense that he's a flat-out super villain who gleefully sends waves of expendable henchmen after his foes and then shrugs when they get killed or captured...it's somewhat glorious.

You don’t have to wear one in prison.

Side note, are the rumors of a second protest on the 18th carrying weight?

I've read contradictory thoughts on this.  Some think it will be a big nothing, some think it could be very violent.

I'm hoping if they do come it will be peaceful no matter how stupid they are.

I'm genuinely hoping I get to see the red mist I was denied when all those idiots tried to storm Area 51. But I've had a bad day, so I might just be talking cranky.
