In the NAACP case, how does "if we catch you ...we will break your damn neck" not construed as a threat? I guess it doesn't qualify as incitement, but it still shouldn't be allowed under the 1st amendment as it's a threat, right? I don't get how the judges came to the conclusion that there was no evidence of a direct threat of violence. The direct threat was right there.

because its a conditional statement. it doesnt say straight up we will break your damn neck. it says "IF WE CATCH YOU" by sticking a condition it becomes covered i think.

[@MrSlowestD16]

@@dantedeloden Maybe. I thought the conditional "IF you do this, I will do that" is what actually makes it a threat. If you call up the president and be like "if you show up at work tomorrow, I will kill you." That's not a threat?

This is why gangsters would always say things like "take care of him" and not "murder him and hide the body" because their order was vague enough to not be explicitly illegal.

Ever since crime became organized, euphemism has been an important tool. Although, it's a level 1 tool. It's improved with secret meetings and hierarchical structures to limit witnesses, but any gangster worth their salt - and with experience dealing with courts - knows that the best directive to commit crime you can ever give is no directive at all.

I want to give you kudos for your bipartisan factual analysis of this entire situation! I appreciate that as a whole, even to the very end, it's near impossible to truly peg what your personal viewpoints may be, and even if you lean one way or another, you hid it quite well. You merely spoke facts that suggested and proved where the debate (two-sidedness) is actually coming from. Though ironic, you give clarity to why there is a lack of clarity and a close debate on what's the "right" or "wrong" answer. Political agenda will always be a LEGAL grey area, and I appreciate how informative your video was on that exact point. It doesn't tell you to choose a side but leaves you to choose yourself based on the facts!

1) the organizers of the rally at the WH Ellipse had applied for and received a permit for that rally at the WH Ellipse. They, however, did not apply for nor did they receive a permit for a march. They were not permitted to GO to the Capitol. Trump told them 8 times to break the law. The rally organizers in dark money ads prior-to spoke of the march: but they reserved no permit & took no necessary actions that would fulfill DC requirements to hold a march. 2) the organizers of the rally at the WH Ellipse had not applied for nor did they receive a permit to be on the premisis of the Capitol grounds. Police barricades had been erected 360° around the Capitol hundreds of yards away. The people were not lawfully permitted access to the Lawn in front of the Capitol. The first marchers to arrive at the East side of the Capitol became violent immediately, savaged & injured police in order to overthrow the barricades and gain the grounds. 3) Trump's social media director, Dan Scavino, held presence in pro-Trump media networks where the violent assault was being planned. Scavino is "closer to Trump than his children". He knew there would be violence and 8 times in his speech told them to go. On the illegal march, to the building which they had to brutally overthrow police barricades to reach.

I don't know the average fitness of a Capitol rioter, but I do know that for me personally (a generally fit young person), walking a mile and a half over road is no real deterrent to my train of thought. Especially not if I'm surrounded by other people wearing reminders of that train of thought and getting each other hyped. If anything, it would boost violent feelings since they have a while to stew in their thoughts and get excited.

@cat magic I should come back and give you some video and picture links later. Did you see how many Trump supporters were there? How "zero" fires there were? How zero small businesses got torched in the name of idolizing a belligerent and then violent Wendy's parking lot guy... The guy, on video, beat up two cops, stole a cop's taser and ran, and turned around and pointed it at the cop before finally being shot... obviously because this violent man could have stolen the incapacitated cop's gun after he used the taser on him! And by the way I don't even like cops, and I think municipal Police are corrupt as f*** and need to be placed under each County Sheriff's power. But give me a break. I got the talk about fully complying with police in driver's ed, and I went to a small, almost entirely White Midwest town high school. My parents told us to do everything they say, or you risk getting in trouble. If the stakes are higher for black people, wouldn't the Wendy's guy have maybe wanted to cooperate with simply moving his vehicle out of the freaking way of people?? but still relevant. I'm finding out I argue to the entire worldview, rather than the argument within the worldview. Also, obviously I could have gotten some links by now, if I knew I was going to get this into talking to my phone. LMAO I know. BBL maybe.

But could you travel backwards in time and get there before you imagined trump telling you to go there and riot?

[@matthiasnagorski8411]

@@JakeKlineMusic I didn't grow up in a high crime ghetto. I'm guessing you didn't, either. So trying to frame the victim's psychology as though it's a carbon copy of our own is misrepresentation. Like saying "I don't have an addictive personality, so all these people with addictions are just choosing to think irrationally." We'll never know what the victim wouldn't move his car. After the fact, it's easy to say he just hated cops and wanted to hurt them, basically he's just an asshole. But we will never hear his defense. We'll never know what he was thinking. PTSD causes irrational behaviour. It can cause violence. Yet we will bend over backwards to assist veterans and victims of domestic abuse. We'll do our best to avoid hurting people we view as innocent. And that's the kicker. I would argue the stress of living in the ghetto can cause low-level PTSD. The economic strain, fear of police, and the constant presence of gang violence and alliances, contributes to these random shootings. But because it looks like a chosen life, although it very much isn't, society tends to write these victims off as merely violent thugs. I would encourage people to look into these victim's childhoods. Look into the history of police interaction in poorer neighborhoods through history, especially neighborhoods that are primarily populated by minorites. Ask yourself: have the police and government given the peoples in these areas any good reason to trust them? I'm gonna go look this shit up. Because right now it's just my own theory that I'm typing. But I KNOW, through my own mother's life and mental health, that poverty itself can cause similar symptoms to PTSD. Especially for children who grow up in poverty.

Does it need an intense review? The line itself is evidence enough. Unless Rudy has a different definition for the word “combat”

Just trying to be unbiased, he clearly did not mean actual physical combat. It was hyperbole. He just meant He was willing to put His reputation on the line. Doesn't look great, but it doesn't seem like a crime. I'm not a lawyer though.

[@colinbromfield1175]

Question about jurisdiction, though. If charges are filed before a statute of limitations runs out, but proceedings can't begin until afterwards, does the court still have jurisdiction? This is essentially the basis for one of the defense's claims, after all.
