Moving on...

I'm genuinely not reading the rest of your post if you don't acknowledge this. The part you underlined literally doesn't say what you're claiming it does, and I already explained the difference.

Ah, so one can violate the law without breaking it? I wonder if that'll fly next time I'm pulled over.

You're genuinely not going to own up to your faulty logic based on your emotions more than any rational reading of the situation.

Nonsense. What a despicable lie.

I promised she was going to jail in the title and Bolivia delivers.

24 hours after they granted blanket Amnesty to their supporters for any crimes committed while she was president. Congratulations, you are cheering on a failed state.

I mean, it'd be pretty stupid to put all your freedom fighters behind bars.
Imagine trying to put the United States together after summarily executing all your traitors to the crown.

What Mysterious said, context matters. Sorry a left wing country just doesn't arbitrarily kill leftists like you want.

Amnesty for "crimes" committed against a coup regime is completely fine, actually.

You really need to diversify your sources to include people who don't forwardly support communists.

I literally have posted links to NYT (and probably CNN and MSNBC) here before, what are you smoking?

HRW’s executive director, Ken Roth, made a series of public statements on social media expressing his delight, even as security forces took over La Paz, massacring civilians and overthrowing a democratically-elected president. Roth also described the coup approvingly as an “uprising” and a “transitional moment” for Bolivia, while presenting Morales as an out-of-touch “strongman.” For Roth, Morales was “the casualty of a counter-revolution aimed at defending democracy…against electoral fraud and his own illegal candidacy,” falsely alleging that Morales had ordered the army to shoot protesters.


As Roth was making his pronouncements, Añez was signing a new law that gave security forces complete immunity for killing dissenters. HRW described this as a “problematic decree,” as if Añez had merely used insensitive language. The organization also attempted to hide who were the perpetrators of the ensuing massacres, telling readers that “nine people died and 122 were wounded” during a Cochabamba demonstration, but refusing to fill them in on who was dying and who was shooting.

Human Rights Watch is funded by billionaires. Its coverage of events reflects that bias.

Yes. That isn't a counterpoint.

So are most of the things you believe, you just choose to only criticize that sometimes.
