It’s less about human safety and more about not disturbing the animals. When whales and dolphins are constantly being approached by humans, it stresses them out and disrupts their normal routines and behaviors. They start to avoid areas where they’re being approached, which is a problem when those places are important feeding and calving grounds. When it’s just one guy it’s not an issue, but it’s a big problem when a lot of people do it. Hence the law.

People like you are why modern society sucks. Just adding arbitrary bullshit rules because youre worried about other peoples safety. If you are worried about the risks of swimming with dolphins dont do it. The guy in the article did nothing wrong and should have been left alone.

Too many humans are way too obsessed with what other humans do in private.

Imagine if this person had to be honest for two second, and give the real reason, not this "public order and national safety" that we know is 100% bullshit. I would like to know the real reason this person is envious of other people pleasuring themselves.

If you stand in a no-protesting zone and tell cops you're there to oppose abortion, you're protesting. That's the point of the zone.

In the words of someone who seems pretty confused right now, "you should be keeping to the law at all times no matter where no matter when."

It needs to show off an opinion to do that you must draw attention a woman alone standing there because this is what it probably looked like from the outside is the opposite of drawing attention if she brought friends or was loud than that would have been a protest. But what is the point of activism if you are not drawing attention? I would genuanly be curious. How something that doesn't draw attention that doesn't send any kind of message can be considered activism. As praying infront of an abortion clinic doesn't send a clear message. It could send the message that you are praying for the souls of the children like the woman did but you could also be praying that the woman make a speedy recovery you could have a friend in their any you are praying for her or you could just be passing by and gotten a call that a family member is now in a hospital so you pray for them. All of that is just as likly an explanation when you walk bye. If this is to be considered a protest that it should be considered objectivly the worst protest in the history of protests.

Roughly a 45% raise for board members.

"The county executive proposed a 2% raise for all county workers."

"The board is set to adopt the FY 2024 budget on May 9, "which currently includes a roughly 7% increase in the tax bill for the average resident. Ninety million dollars in the FY 2024 are unappropriated,""

I am not from the US I am from austria you presence alone can not be a protest. protests by their definition need to try and accomplish something her being in a place literaly doing nothing as silently praying in a manner where most people would just consider you standing there can be considered doing nothing.

Again the actions taken by the people protesting make a protest a protest you need to voice an opinion to be a protester a woman standing silently maybe folding her hands is not voiceing an opinion. She could have been praying that the woman in their have no complications and get out there as healthy and safe for all we know unless you ask her nobody would have known her opinion so this can simply not be considered a Form of protest as this is the antithesis of a protest as she wasn't even drawing attention.

But what action violated the protective order her being there? People where still allowed to pass bye. Was it her standing there? It can't be because she was praying as her not bothering anybody can not be a crime because again she was silent you can not violent a law by not bothering anybody is not actively requiring you bothering them. I am not even shure if people who passed by or people inside noticed her praying.

Many African regimes are so desperate for Chinese money and investment that this will be ignored by them entirely and it's unlikely to make a blip on news networks in Africa.

The fact of the matter is that Chinese Racism is international. There isn't a race, or nation, that Chinese Agit-prop doesn't decry as less then or inferior. (Sometimes they like Russia) To the Chinese media machine, the Chinese are the superior race, and all other peoples exist only to service the Chinese people in their ascendency.

Many of their popular action movies feature Chinese characters routinely defeating the corrupt, morally bankrupt, and dishonest Europeans, Africans and Americans. They feature caricatures that would make 1980's movies uncomfortable...

Chinese people are taught that their culture is superior in everyway to every other culture. Chinese "Unity" is superior to any other nation, race, or form of governance.

Essentially China now is what England/West Europe/America was in the 1700-1940 period. The colonial period, without the ability land grab because of international law. (this is why they are watching Ukraine very closely)
