It's laughable to call that an "antifa cell", especially as they're abusing terrorism charges to send someone away for life for moving zines. We have white-nat

It's laughable to call that an "antifa cell", especially as they're abusing terrorism charges to send someone away for life for moving zines. We have white-nationalist groups actually organizing and training. Shipping in Khaki clad warriors in box trucks to shout slurs and intimidate people. We have videos of said groups doing weapons training like the Al Qaeda training videos of the 2000s. Antifa? Your primary source is one of the greatest abortions of justice we've seen this decade.

> they're abusing terrorism charges to send someone away for life for moving zines. You can make anything sound idiotic if you simplify it enough. They're trying to send someone away for hiding evidence. Using your logic you could say that someone arrested for shooting someone is being put away for moving their index finger.

  What were the Zines evidence of? Protected speech? We have days worth of footage of storming the Capital and yet dozens were given full pardons. They're political charges.

      > So just because something bad was allowed to happen, any other bad thing should be allowed? I was illustrating that the charges levied were politically motivated from the highest levels, as proof that they don't seriously care about political criminality unless it suits them. If the Jan 6th charges stuck, it'd be a different conversation entirely. They are illegitimate because they have already proven disregard for the law.
