An L.A. activist who handed out protective masks to protesters during anti-ICE demonstrations last month has been indicted on federal counts of conspiracy and aiding civil unrest. My latest: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Well this is fucking awful
RIOT UNTIL HE IS FREED
If they are going to start throwing baseless charges at people then we as citizens have a duty to join as many of these juries as we can and nullify them. We cannot let fascists get away with using the legal system to punish people resisting them without a fight.
This may require them giving truthful, but less than candid answers on the jury screening questions
No judge should agree to hear this case, it should be thrown out immediately.
UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... These Nazis just make up FAKE, Bullshit Charges!... It has to 🛑!... NOW!!!!!😡😡😡
Anyone have a gift article they can share so I can read the entire thing? 🎁?
Opened for me, no paywall a minute ago.
Sadly, not for me. It opens but then an immediate pop-up that blocks the content and disables scrolling.
"You MUST allow us to tear gas you and shoot you in the face with rubber bullets! It's illegal not to!"
Paywall = No Repost
🤦
The CCP did the same thing during the Hong Kong protests in 2019. "a member of a medical team providing emergency care to injured protesters ... hit out at the arrest of healthcare personnel by riot police." www.rfa.org/english/news...
I’d like to see Jamie Raskin point this out on FoxNews. Maybe a few viewers would have aneurysms from the cognitive dissonance
Putin is doing absolutely the same. Even sharing free food is forbidden here
This coubtry is dogshit
Peaceful protestors don’t need a face covering, but ICE does? 🥴😡
Ask for a jury trial.
Doesn't look like "hiding their faces" to me, but polycarb could sure help against these violent psychos trying to blind protestors
If distributing protective gear is a crime, how is Honeywell manufacturing and selling it?

This is outrageous. How can we help?

This is currently our upside down timeline. Hint: He’s not the “bad” guy.🫱🏻🫲🏾🌹
Fascist country.
It doesn't matter. Anything one does to hinder ICE, you will be detained. Unfortunately, injustice has long been injustice since ~ 740 BCE. Isaiah 1:17
When Americans will start to protect own country not only with masks?
Don't stop fighting and supporting those that are.
Former Marine
"Marine"
Indicted for helping people avoid injury/death. What a country.
It’s no longer a country, it’s a cesspool, and Republican politicians are the scum.
J-u-r-y n-u-l-i-f-i-c-a-t-i-oooooooooooo-n
democracy advocates are going to have to steel themselves to taking vicious beatings from law enforcement without responding in kind, every blow they land against a peaceful protester is a blow against the fascist regime, get the violence on camera and flood the internet with it, that’s how to win
Just going to post this thread here for…no reason. bsky.app/profile/kenw...
In particular, this part. Again, for no reason. bsky.app/profile/kenw...
Targeted prosecution much 🧐
Motherfuckers....
He proudly served and continues to be a patriot.
“Prosecutors allege Orellana was helping protesters withstand less-lethal munitions being deployed by Los Angeles police officers and Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies after an unlawful assembly had been declared.”
This is why they want to ban body armor as well. You must be vulnerable by law.
The prosecutors should not be allowed to show their faces in public
The Land of the Free, is the USA not anymore.
New Rules: Support and fund genocide✅ Protest Genocide ❌
The importance of black bloc. Trump is cracking down on anyone the regime can easily identify. This bullshit has to be vehemently opposed and the regime needs to be removed from power.
No. The black block was mostly made up of fascists. Trying to discredit more legitimate movements. Yes there may be a value in hiding your face, but don’t ever think the black block was a good thing because it wasn’t. Those are the goons who are ice now
happy birthday Amurca
A grand jury returned w an indictment?
A petty jury.
A petit jury is the trial court jury Grand jury indicts.
I mean petty as in small-minded.

Catch that headline? “Face shields” makes them sound like tactical gear. Do better @latimes.com.
It's getting worse, ever so slightly every hour. He's gonna get indicted for doing nothing wrong. Damn.
Policy need to have a way to permanently rearrange your face if they don't like how you're protesting.
Does that mean every ICE agent who hides his face behind a mask will also be charged criminally?
Oh wow.
How have we come to a point in this country where protecting yourself and others from police brutality is an alleged crime? We have seriously lost our way.
As I recall it’s a crime to hand out water or food to people who have been standing outside in the hot sun or cold weather for hours so they could vote in Georgia. The strangest things suddenly become prosecutable - like even reporting on the IceBlock App on a newscast.
This is just the beginning. Now that ICE is fully funded and has no guardrails, US citizens are going to be rounded up for "dissent" and hauled off to camps. America is completely and totally fucked.
this has such 'illegal to hand out water to people standing in line to vote' vibes
They are making up charges, they are waiting for the MS13 member charge if everything else fails. Corruption.
I hope someone has to answer on the record why those masks represent a problem when those "less lethal" rounds aren't supposed to be fired directly at protestors heads yet regularly are
That’s bullshit
But we’ve been told that cops don’t fire “less lethal” munitions at people’s faces, so distributing face shields couldn’t be interfering, right? Right?
Wait?! The goons can cover their face but not the victims? Fuck that! Does he have a fund for his legal fees?
Horseshit charges
Gonna need a lot of defense lawyers to brush up on jury nullification.
Jury nullification is VERY simple.
“Activist arrested for helping people keep their eyes”. Fuck republicans. Bring out the guillotines.
But they're marching to Bastille Day
Seriously wtf are we doing? I'm feeling real French lately.. 🔥
Probably won’t get arrested if the dude were handing out masks to ICE agents 😂
And of course maga is spreading lies that he’s a gang member or ms-13 to make all the racists scared of him.
He won't be convicted of this, but that's not the point. Intimidation is the point.
Why is this a federal case?
I suspect it is so that Newsom cannot pardon him.
Because it all went down here in California, and we would never prosecute it for that year
Orellana pleaded not guilty during a brief court hearing today. A trial date is currently set for late August.
Any citizen who votes for indictment when charges are brought by fascists are co-conspirators. Anyone who votes guilty is a co-conspirator. Smokey the Bear says, "Only you can prevent fascism."
Any bail funds established for these folks?
He's free on bond at present.

😡😡😡
Aiding civil arrest… the federal government can’t possibly do that, not even purposely target states of politics they don’t like. No no. Impossible.
📌
The correct headline: “Fascists arrest patriot for doing his constitutional duty.”
Some video evidence. Why isn’t the @latimes.com coming up with this kind of story?? www.nytimes.com/video/world/...
Sure they did, it’s on video. Watched it happen live on TV.
This guy has been persecuted for YEARS. www.instagram.com/reel/DLn2Mdy...
I will happily help with his legal fees.
This is law enforcement completely out of control and well on the way to something really quite evil. #ICE
