    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!!!???

      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.

            Ah, sorry about that. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). They created a definition of antisemitism that conflate criticism of pissrael with antisemetism and they are working hard as hell to get it installed across all the governments. Some states have used their definition iirc. But, to me, it was the final nail in the coffin that is the first ammendment, at the behest of Zionazis

      I believe this was a part of their ‘throw spaghetti at the wall and see which sticks’ strategy, because while I read about these charges it became obvious that they applied pretty much any charge available that could halfway fit into a conviction.

      They did all they could to make an example out of these people, and as many have said this is something that we all really need to start paying attention to. This is a big step and a big deal.
