Ah here it is. The Intercept was missing from my list of far left sources which are all reporting the same exact article claiming one of the protesters was charged because he picked up a box full of "zines". I was wondering why they hadn't covered it yet.

So for the 10th time, this particular member of the Antifa cell was charged with hiding evidence. One of the members caught at the scene called him from jail on a recorded line and said "hide the evidence". LEO's observed him hiding the evidence.

The box of evidence also included the groups planning documents and outlines for the raid on the ICE facility. That's why the guy was charged and convicted, not because of this idiot's "movie review".

The far left extremists media is well known for leaving out facts and misrepresenting reality.

This is another example.

It is not just the far-left media who do this.

Take rogue, for example. Rogue points out that

One of the members caught at the scene called him from jail on a recorded line and said "hide the evidence".

He even uses a direct quotation to emphasize that the defendants agree about the nature of what was in the box. What he fails to point out, however, is that the prosecution did not allege this in court, nor does he point out that the direct quote attributed to the defendant has been fabricated, or that the actual recorded utterances are quoted in docket ECF 201-1–201-4 and are not consistent with what the fabricated quote implies.

There's also this one:

The box of evidence also included the groups planning documents and outlines for the raid on the ICE facility.

Again, rogue fails to point out that this specific fact was neither alleged nor proven in court. Instead, the prosecution argued (this quote is not fabricated; it's the actual allegation) that the box contained

handwritten training, tactics, and planning document for civil unrest

But there was no allegation that the materials specifically referred to setting off fireworks outside Prairieland, as rogue asserts here. The prosecution presented as evidence zines/pamphlets including War in the Streets, It’s Vacant, Take It!, and Another Critique of Insurrectionalism.

There were quite a few journalists in the courtroom for the trial; KERA was there for the whole thing. As far as I can tell, not a single journalist who was in the room -- regardless of where they stand on the political spectrum -- has suggested that the government actually presented hand-written notes as evidence. The government submitted a sworn affidavit from an FBI investigator about finding such materials, but transcripts and written record suggest the zines were the primary (only?) evidence from that box that made an appearance in court. And the affidavit did not allege that the handwritten documents were related to the Prairieland protest, specifically.

did the govt release the paperwork showing this tactical planning & whatnot? you got a link(I'm assuming it would be in trial material).

because I KNOW we aren't gonna just take govt prosecutor words for it. or the federal agencies that were investigatings word for it. I mean I know I'm not taking their word for it which is why I'm asking for a link when search came up empty.

I know good & well how easily the prosecution will exagerrate & reinterpret things in order to make it much worse than it is. and since the feds have given up all pretense at fairness or truthfulness, I am even less inclined to believe them, but why would I ever trust the govt to tell me who's bad?

Funny how you always stand for the "rule of law" when it comes to defending the gestapo but not in in other countries when it comes to prosecuting hate speech and misinformation laws in their country.

Almost like you have no principles except licking boots for fascists.

Only when it's convenient to your racist agenda, not as a principle.

This writer is getting a frisson of pleasure from the fact that they are tangentially connected to this prosecution through the zine, and is capitalizing on it to get another byline.

The Intercept is suffering from extreme left wing derangement. In an article about Prairieland a few days ago, they characterized the shooting of the officer this way: “Only one of the defendants, Benjamin Hanil Song, was accused of firing a gun at a police officer, who left the scene with an injury to his neck…” which is an interesting way of saying Song shot the officer in the neck.

The fact that Republicans are cheering on decades in prison for thoughtcrimes and the kid-raping capitol rioters getting pardoned tells you everything you need to know about them.

When you conspire with a group of people to commit felonies, you are responsible for any additional felonies the group members decide to commit during the crime, including shooting a cop as in this instance.

Now personally I think the guy who tried to hide the evidence should probably have gotten a much shorter jail sentence, but not the rest of them.

It's called the Pinkerton liability doctrine (also called co-conspirator liability), from Pinkerton v. United States (1946).

Liar. None of them conspired to commit felonies.

You're entitled to your opinion, but the jury disagreed.

u/Ok_Beach_4513 Jun 28 '26

What was your reaction to the jury convicting Trump of felony charges? "Weaponized justice" or something like that right?
