    It’s tyranny that RICO charges were even being considered in the first place.

      So here is the thing.

      These fuckers, it’s their job. They get up, go to work, file charges, do ā€œwhat they’re toldā€.

      They go home at the end of the day. They don’t care about the people they charged after the shift is over.

      The people wrongly charged? Jail time, possible loss of work, massive financial impacts, arrest record that will now show up any time you apply for a visa/job/etc.

      It’s the pain, the cost, the process that they want to inflict.

      They know it won’t stick.

      It’s everything in the middle they want to inflict on you.

        Yes, but actually no – not in this case. This case was different because the protests were targeting the thugs’ own corrupt fascism theme park, and they took it personally. They went above and beyond their usual level of oppression to try to make an example out of these patriots.
