Folks wave these flags and the cops just wave back.

But try hosting a union rally at a Starbucks or Amazon warehouse, and security will be on you like white on rice.

That probably has something to do with private property. I wouldn't expect anything to happen to you waving a pro-union flag on a corner like this either.

We can hate Nazis without making stupid comparisons.

Just don't try and deliver anyone a lunch.

This is a good example of exactly what I meant. It has to do with private property.

Honestly, when I saw the link, I expected to be directed to an instance of someone being arrested on public property. But no.

It has to do with private property.

  • Workers cannot leave the jobsite to meet with people bringing them lunch

  • People bringing lunch can't carry the food onto the jobsite without being arrested

Beginning to feel like its the people who are the property.

If we're playing dumb, sure.

Here in reality, it seems that specific person who was not an employee was not permitted on their private property.

Also, this wasn't just lunch and anyone who read your link knows that so can we quit being cute?

My staff orders a pizza, but I arrest the pizza delivery guy because he is not an employee. Because Private Property.

Also, this wasn’t just lunch

No. They were wearing pro-union t-shirts while they delivered the lunch, which means they were committing a crime.

Alright. Keep playing ignorant.

But thanks for the example of exactly what I meant.

Dislike/disobey them all you want. It's reality which the other user helpfully provided an example of.

Learning the difference between public and private property can help you avoid the stupid comparisons which started this thread.
