    WHY would Kennedy "think he is in danger"?
    Sounds to me like The Same Paranoid (Not to be Taken Seriously) Conspiracies that he has about dozens of other issues...

    He's not a major candidate. Should the SS provide protection to everyone who declares for presidency?

    He's asking for special treatment for no real reason.

    RFK is a little fish in a big pond and he's trying to make a bigger splash by being loud and obnoxious.

    There isn't really much they did that wasn't done in other politically motivated riots/protests. The only difference is difference in punishment. I'm glass half full though and am happy its showing the major hypocrisy of the 2-tier "justice" system

    By 2-Tier you mean the "guilty" and "not-guilty".
    Too bad they did it in the Capitol Building. While Congress was in session. On Camera. And tweeted, bragged about, and electronically documented their crimes.

    What riot was NOT on camera in the last 10 years? That's the argument now? Weak!

    Did you not read my post? I literally ask that very question. You shouldn’t quote people just to reiterate them

    Did you see the part about RFK JR. not being a major candidate?

    That is a major factor in determining who gets protection and is in the guidelines.

    Yeah I did. Did you see this part? “But the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security has wide latitude to decide who qualifies and why, after consultation with an advisory committee*.”.


    Do you know what “wide latitude” is?

    This isn’t a rigid thing set by specific unbreakable rules. Which makes your post requiring a big ol: SO?

    So who would want to assassinate RFK Jr? Even his own family has distanced themselves from him. Is he a danger to himself?

    " Our campaign's request included a 67-page report from the world's leading protection firm, detailing unique and well established security and safety risks aside from commonplace death threats."

    Idk go ask him. Seems like a pretty lengthy request though not sure if it’s public.

    I will say we are living in very volatile times. So far we’ve seen shootings of congressmen playing baseball, attempted assassinations of a congressman giving a speech in broad daylight as well as a sitting SCJ.

    If any candidate feels they need protection, I think their reasoning should be taken with the utmost seriousness. Don’t you?

    No. I don't.

    But this, "as well as a sitting SCJ". The kid, and he was a kid, called and surrendered to the authorities without ever falling through with it.

    I get it. It is too embarrassing to admit that the majority of lone wolves who seek to make their final mark on society as potential assassins tend to come from the right wing of the spectrum.

    Oh, and BTW, the reason we are living in such "volatile times" is because of the Orange Turd and the party that parrots him to a tee.

    so you agree we live in volatile times but disagree that anyone should take the security of candidates asking for it seriously.

    What a bizarre contradictory nonsensical position, no doubt caused by your sudden swerve into partisan blame game bitchfest.

    let me know when you collect yourself into some kind of logical consistency.

    me? Are you confused? I’m not RFK.

    Nor did I anywhere support it, I’m simply not being a partisan hack by allowing for the idea to be taken seriously instead of all the BS I’m hearing about “ohhh gosh that’s not how things are typically done we can’t do thaaat”.

    seriously. It’s amazing watching lefties so willing to hang their own party member out to dry without even giving a crap what his 67 page request even says.

    Do all the Republican candidates have protection? I mean Chris Christie has been taking pot shots at the Orange Messiah so there is no way he is not at risk

    We can't give in. Dictatorships result in revolutions. Our Constitutional Liberal Democracy is much more stable than a bloody dictatorship.
