a form of public HUMILIATION and TORTURE used by the Communist Party of China in the Mao Zedong era, particularly during the Cultural Revolution, to SHAPE PUBLIC OPINION and HUMILIATE, PERSECUTE, or EXECUTE political RIVALS and those deemed class ENEMIES.
this is more than "protesting" or bullying.
Who are the women?
The older one is a professional activist.
The "victim" is also a "school shooting survivor" (there were only 2 people in the lab where the shooting occurred - the deceased, and the killer.)
What is The Center for Popular Democracy?
(it receives funding from Democracy Alliance)
FIRM Action claims Archila as one of its leaders. (FIRM receives funding from Democracy Alliance.)
Who else is involved?
The usual suspects.
So many "grassroots" protesters.
So. Many.
There are others, but, frankly, I'm bored with them.

my instincts said there's a reason this was done...
senator ron wyden released a letter and a statement to wapo friday about ‹possible› foreign stingray surveillance near the WH. Included in his statement, his ‹concern› about potus using unsecured iPhones.
whatever gave wyden that crazy idea?
[forget about the iPhone kerfuffle with jim comey in 2015, and his continuing whining about "going dark" due to encryption and advanced security apps]
I read the article; just burn it down. All of it… starting with the Office of Refugee Resettlement. These gd "refugees" are ruining schools and communities, their "rights" given precedent over citizens.
