And that would be just as true if a theater ran the original Snow White. Unless it was a TCM event for old movie nerds. (I see the ambiguity there, but "old" probably correctly modifies both "movie" and "nerds.")
What someone who paid attention to "the sane right-wing press" would have known was not the facts themselves, since the sane right-wing press didn't report or substantiate any facts not obvious to all, but what the sane right-wing press said about those known facts. Those are two very different things.
Not to mention that she got a late start and has been focusing on other priorities as the campaign ramps up. But I'm pretty sure she'll do some kind of presser at some point and unless she sounds like, say, Donald Trump, no one will care once the box is checked.
I imagine that we would have heard speeches about the importance of the Freedom of Speech and the difficulty of prosecuting people who happen to be wearing masks.
But it was just my imagination, running away with me.....
How does one "permit" what one has no power to forbid? It is certainly true that nobody has any idea how to reduce the sheer amount of anti-Semitism among Muslims beyond Israel. Telling them to "stop" or that they are "being ridiculous" doesn't seem likely to be effective.
A DA's office can walk and chew gum at the same time. It can pursue certain non-standard policies -- Soros DA or Jewish Space DA stuff -- while the bulk of the office's work is the same old same old. Murder gets prosecuted vigorously, shoplifting not so much, for example. If there is or was some policy or practice in the San Francisco DA's office that would have precluded a prosecution like this, if the situation had come up, I have yet to hear of it from you or anyone else. All you seem to have is Forget it, Jake. It's San Francisco.
I remember those conversations and have no desire to hear them again. So what it amounts to is that the prosecutions, which are utterly standard for any DA's office, anywhere, must be performative and political in this case because Jewish Space DA's.
Got it. And I managed to cover a square on the Jaybird Bingo Card, so a good time was had by all.
And you know this based on some sources of information unavailable to the rest of us? Or you just don't like San Francisco? A DA's office doing standard DA stuff is proof that they're only doing standard DA stuff for nefarious reasons?
The current rules do better than that by the hedge fund managers. They allow them to treat their commissions on profits earned on clients' invested capital as capital gains.
The charges look pretty standard to me, though I'd defer to Em's superior expertise if she weighs in.
In Dubuque, no one would think this was performative or political. Election year or not.
From the reports I've seen so far, this had little to do with Taylor Swift herself. It seems that the concerts were a target of opportunity for someone who just wanted to kill a lot of people.

San Francisco is closer to Denver than New York City, for what that's worth. It still isn't Denver.
That aside, pointing and laughing is a contribution when what you're pointing at deserves to be laughed at.

Pointing and laughing isn't tone policing.

I previously addressed most of what you had to say already, and North beat me to the rest.

And how much does that accomplish? Would anyone say we "permit" this stuff?

I'll amend to use your original formulation.
You’re thinking that this prosecution is not performative.
I happen to think that it is. A political message is being sent by it.
If you don't think that's nefarious, then I stand corrected. I will accept performative and political.

So if San Francisco does what Dubuque would have done, that's evidence that it's not doing what Dubuque would have done?

A bad, bipartisan idea and BSDI pandering, so, politically, a wash.
