Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Are we arresting people for aiding and abetting a fugitive?

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.social 39 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It certainly seems like an organized effort, the leaders should be persecuted

RICO to the rescue? Multiple people looking to kill people they seem undesirable and cover it up or justify it in a cross state fashion?

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

Minnesota does have it's own state level RICO act. I'm sure the state is already building a case. That's why they want all the eye witness footage they can get. With enough evidence they can establish the key actions they need to prove to win a rico case

It's not persecution if there's a justifiable reason for it

When are these masked perps going to be named?

( By the way, I had to laugh at that idiot Noem being a total bitch and trying to chastise the journalist for "doxxing" Renee Good's murderer even though everyone knew his name at that point. Yeah, because not naming the murderer should be the primary fucking concern here. )
