Case was seen as major test of the first amendment and whether the US could use broad anti-terrorism statute to prosecute leftwing protesters
Fascists say what?
Sanchez-Estrada was the only defendant not at the protest, and was only charged with corruptly concealing a document or record, after prosecutors say he moved leftwing zines following the arrest of his wife, Maricela Rueda, on the Fourth of July. Song also escaped after the incident and there was an 11-day manhunt for him.
WTF THEYRE COMING FOR OUR ZINES!!!???
First amendment is long dead bro
I’m confused. Is a left wing magazine one that promotes the ideals of freedom like fighting against government overreach against your people? Is a left wing magazine one that advocates for defending your friends and family against masked thugs using any means necessary?
Because apparently I know a lot of Republicans on the Antifa payroll.
Well we’ll see how soon appeals can start. This is going to be a big case either way.
Any candidate for the 2028 Democratic presidential primary better be getting asked about pardoning all these people
Thats actually insane. This is a HUGE HUGE HUGE deal
All the charges against all of these folks seem to stem from this one act by one person:
One of the protesters was standing in the woods with an AR-15 and hit [a police officer] in the shoulder. The officer would survive.
Shoulda killed the pig.
I belive the term here is “kangaroo court”
Guilty till they can prove themselves innocent…FROM JAIL
What has this country come to???
They pointed to the fact that the demonstrators took steps to prevent their cell phones from being tracked.
Prosecutors also pointed to the way that the protesters used Signal, a widely-used messaging application, as evidence of their coordination and conspiracy. The protesters used pseudonyms on the app and had messages autodelete, an increasingly common practice among protesters and journalists who are concerned about government surveillance. They also emphasized the defendants were wearing all black during the protest, sometimes describing it as “tactical” gear.
That just describes my normal non-protest day. The fuck is this?
When you find out you’ve been a terrorist your whole life…
Fuck the United States, piece of shit country masquerading as a free and advanced nation.
Shit. Hole. If I was there and I had any, any chance to leave I would be gone. Long, long, long gone.
T-minus 8 months until people actually start to become concerned there I guess.
