I'm sure I know the answer, but does anyone who knows RICO better than me explain how the fuck that charge would apply?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

It doesn't, but that no longer matters. Fascism is all about turning the legal system into a game of Fizzbin played against political enemies.

“Is it sheer happenstance that individuals show up at a restaurant where the president is trying to enjoy dinner in Washington, D.C., and accost him with vile words and vile anger?” Blanche asked CNN host Kaitlan Collins.

How nice that he can afford to go out to eat at a restaurant.

Of the 330M+ people in this country, some 220M are antifa. Good luck arresting them

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Some of them would gladly send 220M people to their deaths, it's their fucking wildest dream to send all 'the bad ones' away for good. This is literally devolving into humanity at its worst.

Our destiny is becoming a cyberpunk Cambodia

Just because you didn't vote for Trump doesn't mean your Antifa. You could be just Enablefa, nihilfa, or survived getting kicked in the head by a horse.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As usual those who do not see clearly, believe antifa is a real organization. IF you do not vote for a fascist, you are antifa, like it or not. The only way you could not be antifa is to subscribe to, be a party to, or admire fascism

[–] meep_launcher@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I would put emphasis on the anti part though- if you are just sitting at home smoking weed and playing videogames when you need to vote or be in the streets, you are not resisting fascism.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

¿Por que no los dos?

I'm not an organizer, so I check out when and where protests are being held, attend them, vote every time I can, and can you believe that I still have enough time to go home, smoke weed & play video games‽

[–] meep_launcher@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Oh video games and weed are great don't get me wrong, I mean it is the epitome of comfort, but fighting fascism isn't very comfortable.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 days ago

It’s just a matter of time now. Pretty easy to violently put down a protest if it’s illegal to gather.

I thought Rico was being deported?

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 7 points 2 days ago

They tried, but he was too Suave.

[–] Hector@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I hope she tries, we would expose whatever hack took the case as an incompetent moron and could bring more attention to the final solution israel is pursuing against their others.

Rico what a joke, we should file a private Rico suit against Pam Bondi. Or against Israeli super fans in the US. Against AiPAC, etc.

Obviously the courts are fucked so it is mostly only one way. But you are able to file in state courts and we should Jam these fuckers up in some of them.

[–] Chivera@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Oh no! They hurt his little feelings 😔

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 4 points 2 days ago

Fine, throw me in jail then. I'll gladly be a burden on tax payers right now.
