You can totally be in favor of a terrorist group.

He's a member

How is that acceptable?

The question isn't if it's legal or not the question is whether it should be

And frankly this is unacceptable

Because you don’t have evidence that he’s anything but a supporter. Especially given that antifa has no membership structure.

ehhh....

So as long as there is no evidence that I'm a member I'm totally allowed to carry an ISIS battle flag and sing Jihadi songs because fuck all logic

YES

That’s 100% legal

Except you can't

Disturbing the peace

Misdemeanor offenses

the flag will get confiscated

and u be put o n a watchlist

But it’s not the act itself that is illegal is what I’m saying

Gee as if that changes shit

Well technically raping kids in one area is fine legally so it's acceptable morally

I’m not saying it’s morally acceptable whatsoever

Then why exactly are you defending this behavior?

I’m just saying it’s legal. You asked why Berkeley’s mayor isn’t in prison.

I answered why

I asked why is he still in office

Because people like him I guess

But you implied he committed a crime given the context

I implied no such thing

I simply said there is a direct link between him and multiple terror groups

Because we were talking about legal justice and you said that there wasn’t any in the case of Berkeley’s mayor

That’s implying he committed a crime that there needs to be legal justice for

His refusal to act during any antifa action shows that he is utterly corrupt

He has done nothing while they have rampaged through the streets

No corruption there bucko

And I agree on a personal level, but I’m not sure I’d agree beyond a reasonable doubt (the legal standard).

Again, I'm not disputing the legality of the situation.

There's not exactly a legal ground for a crime being commited

You seem to be missing the point here, I'm saying it's morally abhorrent not illegal

But the original context was justice in the court system. At least we can agree it’s morally abhorrent, however.

Also, just FYI, 4 years of mock trial have definitely made me wary of allowing my personal condemnations to influence my legal condemnations. That’s why I might seem stubborn. But I agree with you morally.

If you're asking why the people of Berkely haven't kicked the Mayor out of office, it's because it's Berkely.

the people of the community are sovereign, after all

@Christopher I've done my fair share of mock trials as well (since I'm studying for law it would be stupid not to). However, venting online does lead to breaks in procedure at least on my end.
