Because when it comes to dealing with those opposing the US MIC, we're already a fascist country. You have the freedom to do many things but this is not one of them. MLK killed after speaking out on Vietnam, Kennedy killed for much the same reasons; Vietnam and mulling changes at the CIA, Boeing whistleblower mysteriously 'comitting suicide' your freedom only extends to things that do not oppose the military.

MLK wasn't killed because he spoke out against Vietnam.

He was killed because he was abandoning a racial paradigm in favor of a class one. He was building a rainbow coalition.

Same with Malcolm X, and Fred Hampton. As soon as any of these men started talking about class unity, the people in charge immediately acted to get rid of them. Really shows how scary class consciousness is to the ruling class.

I get that, but I don't know why this is even going before a judge if they were arrested without charge. I didn't think that was legal.
