    Someone is a "terrorist" if they are currently involved in terrorist activities. The person you are referring to served her time for being affiliated decades ago with a so-called terrorist group (which, as far as I'm aware, never targeted people, only property).

    Also, the organization you a referring to might be viewed as the marketing and management hub of the movement, but the movement and the people involved with it are now far broader than that.

    Right wing media is master class at framing these things. Now any black activism is "BLM" and all of BLK are "terrorists". Right wing media is really.good at hammering down these false connections over and over until they are just knee jerk second nature opinions of the right wing base as we can see here.

    She did not "serve her time", she was pardoned.

    Arguing that car bombings don't count as targeting people because they target cars is utter lunacy.

    Also calling someone a "former Terrorist" is like calling someone a "former murderer"

    Didn't you just connect all Trump voters with white supremacist's? That's order of magnitudes more of people falsely included.

    Why is defense asking for a mistrial, are they getting worried? I thought they had a slam dunk case.

    No. With Trump, I would say the overwhelming majority are white nationalists/western chauvinists.

    And I'm sorry, comparing a following of a single cult leader to activism over a 3 century long cause is apples and oranges dude. Like, the nature of following a singular cult leader means there is going to be more hive mind group think with little to no difference of opinion amongst the group.

    It's the defenses job to do everything possible for their client. I think he gets off the murder charge but not on the "reckless endangerment" charge.

    From what a lot of legal experts have said, there's a strong argument for a mistrial with prejudice. Here's a list of things the prosecution has done:

    trying to insert character propensity evidence despite the judge banning it pretrial.
    violating Rittenhouse's 5th amendment rights
    "withholding" evidence from the defense by giving them a degraded video

    There's probably more but those are the big ones that have been harped on. If the defense can throw out all the charges with a mistrial, why leave it up to the jury?

    75 million people aren't Trump supporters. I'm sure many held their nose voting for him.

    I'm referring to the Trump paraphernalia wearing rally going people.

    And we've seen large majorities of nations either hard support ethnic national fascism or are okay with it. Don't think 1920s Germany can't happen to America. We already have a large chunk of citizens who basically given up on Democracy and just claim their guy actually won when he didn't.

    In fact, the Weimar Republic political ideological battle lines are very similar to modern America. Add hyper inflation and a class of extremely battle hardened ptsd crazed veterans who need something to do, we could be looking at 1930s Germany...

    Mistrial with prejudice just skips the jury

    Evers is the ******* Dem governor that let Kenosha went up in flames. His days are numbered, we will see another Youngkin in Wisconsin next year. You can count on that.

    BLM was involved in this case.

    To say otherwise is untruthful.

    The only comparison to pre Hitler Germany is the pain and suffering the lower and middle class is suffering in today's America. You know Joe Biden's America.

    I remember a time not long ago when unemployment was at record lows for women and minorities. I also remember a time when wages for the lower and middle class were increasing at record rates.

    Some voted for the pain they're currently experiencing and for this I say let the pain reign. Maybe lessons will be learned. (Doubtful)

    Here's some homework for you:

    Look up the entomology and history of the terms "cultural Marxism" and "America First". You should read up on the Weimar Republic and the political battle lines during that time. It's uncannily similar to modern American political battle lines.

    The political ideological battle lines are similar but fortunately the US has some advantages that 1920s Germany didn't have such as a long standing government with strong institutions and the world's largest economy.
