The government won on most of the charges against the anti-ICE protesters, including terror counts and conspiracy to moving a box of antifa zines.

    Man this country needs to get serous about juries because it seems that there's no point to them.

    Also what the fuck is "concealing a document" and how the fuck is it a crime.

    Additionally, how is it not double-jeopardy to convict someone of

    1. Firing a firearm
    2. Firing a firearm while firing a firearm

    A police officer responding to the scene was shot in the neck by one of the protesters, Benjamin Song, who had brought an AR-15 with a trigger modified for a higher rate of fire.

    Yeah so that's one person... what about the others nearby being convicted because they wore black?

    Clearly because they all wore black, they all planned on shooting an officer. /s

    With this logic the police could just have someone go into a group of peaceful protestors with matching clothing, and then shoot at an officer to justify the entire protest being classified as terrorism.

    There's a reason that's not the way this is designed to fucking work. And it's the exact reason non-dumbasses have been saying the terrorism laws have been overly broad since the beginning. They're a blank check for authoritarianism and fascism.

    Now that the 🇺🇲 has declared solidarity, intersection, unity, coalition & protest illegal, are Americans going to stop pretending to fix a Nazi country working as intended from the inside is “terrorism”?

    The first amendment sure means jack shit when the color of your clothes can catch you a conviction.
