‘Don’t yap to cops’: why Hasan Piker’s US customs story kicked off a backlash

"When #HasanPiker was stopped and questioned about his political views by US Customs and Border Protection (#CBP) agents at Chicago’s O’Hare airport last Sunday, the popular leftwing streamer thought he knew exactly what their motive was. “Obviously the reason for why they’re doing that is, I think, to try to create an environment of fear,” he told his legion of fans on a Twitch stream in which he described his ordeal. “To try to get people like myself … to shut the fuck up.”

But the decision by Piker – a 33-year-old US citizen – to entertain the agents’ questions for nearly two hours has some of the self-described socialist’s fans and allies questioning why he didn’t do just that."

The Guardian · ‘Don’t yap to cops’: why Hasan Piker’s US customs story kicked off a backlashBy Julia Carrie Wong

Nazis decide who is a criminal and who is not. There are no courts involved. It's all about the whims of assholes who got more power than the sick thoughts in their pea brains could handle.

Right-wing media in America should be handled exactly as Germany handles its Nazis. This woman heard what the Nazis wanted her to hear, to her great detriment.

Cute family. How much will you pay Trump to stop hurting you? It's the American way.
