There are articles all over. Read Those. They admit why they jailed me and it came down to sensitivity
Disturbing the peace? Inciting violence? What was the charge?
The original charges numbered 6. Criminal mischief III
THEY SPECULATED could be incitement, or tgreatebing language
But did you get sentenced?
Doing jail time?
Jews almost got involved in a hate crime
So what did you actually do though? Did you threaten anyone (or what couldve been misconstrued as such)
Did you just walk around with a swastika flag? Or is this regarding the truck?
Because surely there would be another variable
Why are you so interested in getting information from us about our history? You asked me similar questions.
Do you want my address?
I think @khimære just wants to understand how the swastika, while not illegal, could lead to someone's arrest. The answer is quite simple. They were posted on someone else's private property.
Jimmy that's not quite the whole story.
But I think @Australopithecus Jordan has a good point.
No, it's not the whole story, but I didn't want to tell the part about you self-reporting your crime.
lol
Jimmy is right. It might not be the whole story, but it's the part that counts. You weren't arrested over a swastika; they may not have liked your swastikas, but the charges they were able to file on you stemmed from the manner in which you distributed your opinions. You should be intellectually honest about that.
I'm of the opinion that the biggest failing on our part is the rejection of valuable operatives over their choice of tactics and strategies. Choosing to wear a mask does not necessarily undermine the opportunities of those choosing not to wear masks, nor vice versa. Choosing to implement SIEGE does not necessarily undermine the efforts of those choosing to implement Rules for Radicals, nor vice versa. We aren't losing because persons favoring one strategy or the other are "wrong," as the core disagreement there is really about effectiveness. We lose because we elevate the effectiveness argument to such a lofty place of importance that it becomes personalized, and we then feel compelled to reject a person simply because they disagree with me over wearing a tie/boots/mask...
^^^. Incidentally, I wore a tie on the day of the "JEWS DID 911" demonstration and I don't think it hurt me in the eyes of the cop who responded.
Medford got the same treatment and didnt give 1 fuck
And they were only able to criminalize those swastikas due to the method by which you procured them.
Yes, the swastika flyers drew attention, but @khimære already knows that swastikas draw attention. He wants to know how that attention gets translated into an arrest.
By people complaining and filing charges
People can complain all they want, but that doesn't lead to an arrest if no crime was committed.
The reason I'm belaboring this point is not to condemn you, @Wehrmacht . It's to help you clarify your thinking. Your insistence the the swastika caused your arrest leads to the type of thinking you were doing the other day when you declared "no swastikas or I'm out".
There was no crime. Thats why charges got dropped
Do what you want. Ive made myself pretty clear as to why I think the way I do.
The was a crime you got arrested, paid the price and could learn from your mistake if you would but acknowledge it.
40 flyers with no swastikas got ignored. 5 with swastikas got me jail. What's the denominator ?
The imagery
We're not looking for a common denominator. We're looking at the cause of your arrest which is, beyond and shadow of a doubt the fact the you taped your flyers to private businesses and then posted a photograph of yourself with the incriminating evidence on the Internet.
The cause was that, while other flyers existed o. The same businesses, they didmt lile MY flyers
On the*
Even the professor of law that BuzzFeed contacted agreed it was a back hole loophole designed to punish my freedom of speech because they didn't like it that should tell you something
The pic was big but not why they visited me
I believe the point some are trying to make is that if you hadn't put them up where you did, it wouldn't have mattered who liked them and who didn't.
Is there any evidence of that? Because I put my flyers right next to other flyers that existed on some of these businesses which means they're okay with some flyers but not others
Clearly dependent upon the elements or context of the propaganda apparently
The downside of refusing to take responsibility for one's mistakes is that it deprives one of the opportunity to learn from them
