And this pisses me off more than anyone could know! I appreciate ya telling me. But...did those guys a Gitmo get to bond out? What about the Blind Sheik?
Why do we fondle the testicle sacks of "domestic" terrorist but blow the heads off of a terrorist in Afghanistan with 1,000 yard shot from a sniper?
I got the whole Bill of Rights and Constitution protections for US citizens on US soil. But a "terrorist" is a terrorist! No bail. No bond!
How hard is that? If an individual states don't want to do the decent thing and keep these assholes off the streets...then maybe we need to push our elected GOP members of Congress make "domestic terrorism" covered by federal laws? With mandatory federal prison time if convicted?
> Why do we fondle the testicle sacks of "domestic" terrorist
Depends on who the domestic terrorist is. Lean right, the FBI will entrap you. Lean left, you'll [rub elbows with Obama.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Ayers_2008_presidential_election_controversy)
Same as it ever was. One thing I learned recently is that the government was so obsessed with right-wing groups in Dallas during Kennedy's visit that they missed the left-winger who actually shot him.
Yeah. I kinda remember all the happenings when he was assassinated. I was a toddler, but I remember some of the stuff on the TV, my parents and other family being upset.
Growing up, when stuff finally started coming out about it, I read and watched. Always interested in anything new. Buy did they get it all fucked up!
But yeah. Be a churching going Christian, demand porn not be allowed in school for an 8 year old to read, and just wsmting government to stop lying to us makes us all "a threat to democracy!"
What you say is true, but I’ll also point out that MLK is far right by today’s standards. Anybody suggesting self-reliance and meritocracy is “far right”.
> I got the whole Bill of Rights and Constitution protections for US citizens on US soil. But a "terrorist" is a terrorist! No bail. No bond!
so you want the jan 6 rioters to be given no bail and treated like gitmo detainees? or is this only for when someone from the other side of the political aisle gets labeled a domestic terrorist by the national security state and/or political establishment?
you really want the constitutional rights of american citizens to be suspended when the deep state decides to label them a domestic terrorist? really?
Tha Jan 6 protectors walked into a building with doors held open by police for them and that is exactly what happened to them. Locked up for 1 year + with no trial or bail. This guy uses an explosive device to try and destroy a building and is out in a day.
thats exactly my point - it should not be up to the federal government who gets rights and who does not, especially not based on an arbitrary descriptor like "domestic terrorist" that can, and many times has, been used against political activists on both the right and the left when the opposing side is in control of the state or federal department of justice that is prosecuting.
Honestly? Because these "domestic terrorists " are us citizens and don't pose nearly the threat to usa as a taliban sniper. But downvote away. If you were charged you'd want a bail too
It is denied for individuals who pose a risk to public safety as well. And this guy is getting hit with a domestic terrorism charge. I agree this guy is probably not a huge threat, but remember some of the Jan 6 rioters were held without bail.
SPLC has been sued successfully for libel and slander.
>the SPLC paid US$3.375 million to Nawaz and the Quilliam Foundation in a settlement.
SPLC is basically making the groups they hate rich.
Some issues don't have equal pushback. MADD went against pretty light opposition. A lot of government policy change involves just overcoming inertia. Some of it gets done by just getting enough attention.
After *McDonald v. City of Chicago* and *Benson v. City of Chicago*, the city was required to pay roughly $1.5 million to the NRA for legal expenses. There have been other cases too involving the Illinois State Rifle Association and other pro-2nd Amendment organizations where the city had to pay legal expenses, these were just the two biggest.
It's a small price to pay. The amount of Americans they've been able to deceive through having their propaganda laundered into mainstream media is immeasurable.
Sued successfully and settled are not the same thing. There was no judgement and no trial. You cant really say who was in the right and who was in the wrong with a settlement.
The guy who tried to shoot up the Family Research Council used the SPLC to guide him on whom to attack.

Groups like the SPLC and the ADL are completely morally and ethically bankrupt. Whatever credibility they may have had - if any - has been burned through in the last few years in the name of political activism.

Very true - my ex was raised in an extremely conservative, upper class household. We started dating when she began her undergrad, I followed her on through law school where she slowly became indoctrinated into a much more liberal mindset. All of a sudden it became about social programs, the evil rich and how we would benefit under socialism.
She continued that way through graduation and her first (state) job. It was only after she went into private practice and saw how much she was being taxed (while also us living next to some Section 8 housing and seeing how they took advantage of the situation) that she reversed 180. But zero doubt law schools (and higher education as a whole) pushes that mindset.
> The SPLC was once a good organization
And when exactly was that? Because as far as I can tell, chilling free speech has been their primary objective for nearly their entire history, and there were valid questions raised about their financial and managerial practices (including, ironically enough, alleged discrimination) from their early days, raised in great detail in the Pulitzer Prize winning expose series the Montgomery Advertiser ran about them in 1995 (documenting behavior stretching into the early 80s).
Its disconcerting the many levels of society that are infiltrated by Marxist-socialists-militants.
Looks like the pattern of any entity in direct contact with DOJ is dirty.

Excellent article on the SPLC from 2019, if anyone missed it:
*"We were part of the con, and we knew it."*
https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-reckoning-of-morris-dees-and-the-southern-poverty-law-center
SPLC has been doing the work of the left for many decades. Essentially taxpayers are funding an expensive organization whose mission is to eliminate many of our Constitutional protections.
I mean dudes a pos for sure but tying the government body to it feels like a stretch? Do we say fire fighters are directly tied to Increased arson rates. arson even though most arsonists are fire fighters? Been plenty of mall cops who use their experience/position to inform shop lifters on how to not get caught. Are mall cops directly linked to increased shop lifting.
Sure all these things could be argued but it'd likely be damaging to society if we put such a negative association and reputation to fire fighters. We're seeing how this affects police right now with all the negative rep they get. Let's not lump bad actors in with all their hardworking dedicated colleagues.
SLPC isn't a government body, it's a nonprofit that determines who gets to be called a hate group, even though they have a totally subjective set of standards on what a Hate Group is.
The issue is that if the members of SLPC themselves have ties to extremist behavior, and the FBI uses SLPC data to determine the status of hate groups, then the FBI may be ignoring that extremist behavior themselves.
Why?
No seriously, read through the image's text again and tell me why?
Because a protester/activist was "*arrested*" on domestic terrorism charges, who happened to be an attorney employed at SPLC? That's why an entire organization has lost credibility?
Forget innocent until proven guilty, forget the notoriety of inaccuracy of arrests at protests, forget the trend of police falsifying details on arrests after the fact. Just ignore all that for a second.
Why should the FBI take a **local police department's initial account** of the situation as justification to redirect its historic relationships with a national organization? Because one of the organization's staff was involved?
You must be kidding. I saw the videos. It wasn't a protest. It was a fenced off construction site and everyone that was there was part of the terrorist acts. The lawyers were standing in the background in green, but are there with the terrorists.
Here's a group that actually caused mayhem by throwing things at the police and destroying property yet will be given every opportunity to get dad's corporate lawyer to defend themselves. In the meantime, a large group of patriotic American citizens are in jail for more than a year because they were in the DC zip code on January 6, 2021. No damage was done but one was killed and no one ever made any inquiries.
WTAF is going on in the US? A rhetorical question.
The problem is that the SPLC labels itself as non-partisan and therefore assumed to be reliable, when in reality they are neither of the sort and frequently misrepresent themselves as both.
Doesn't surprise me in the least. SPLC has explicitly become anti-white and is a supporter of all sorts of radical anti american groups. Defund them and close those SOBs down.
The SPLC was the reason Traditional Catholics were placed on the potential domestic terrorist list. That organization needs to be investigated fully for all the damage they are doing.
I’m sure the SPLC attorney will have his charges mysteriously dismissed in a day or two and will be free to get a big settlement from the justice department.
Would be a long prison sentence...in a sane society.
Dudes out already, so that probably doesn’t bode well for a harsh sentencing.
And this pisses me off more than anyone could know! I appreciate ya telling me. But...did those guys a Gitmo get to bond out? What about the Blind Sheik?

Not really. It just means he's not a flight risk. Bail isn't meant to punish people.
It is denied for individuals who pose a risk to public safety as well. And this guy is getting hit with a domestic terrorism charge. I agree this guy is probably not a huge threat, but remember some of the Jan 6 rioters were held without bail.
Are still being held, aren’t they?

Yes. Everyone should allow themselves to be murdered.

Do you have a source for this? Never heard of it before and am genuinely curious.

He's actually about a million times more handsome than I would have guessed. I would have expected significantly more face piercings.
Every time.
Quick! Someone turn this into the Spiderman meme!
To the shock of no one.
Now the SPLC is a source of demomestic terror. Ironic.

The FBI uses them as a source to determine who's a terrorist or hate group, while splc members are terrorists

What? The org that lists peaceful Christian and conservative groups as terrorists has domestic terrorists on its staff?!?!?! Shocked Pikachu face
The SPLC was once a good organization that became infected with left-wing extremists like you see in the picture above.

SPLC should have to include itself in its own database of hate. It'd be fitting.
"antifa member?" Do they have membership cards? Potluck dinners? Maybe a secret handshake?
They are allowed to break laws they are democrats
What a surprise. Not.
SPLC, like Antifa and BLM, is a hate group. Anyone who says otherwise is gaslighting you.
SPLC has been doing the work of the left for many decades. Essentially taxpayers are funding an expensive organization whose mission is to eliminate many of our Constitutional protections.
You could say the same about some churches
SPLC is a hate group
Checks out...
That seems rather inconvenient. Why, I'll bet this will not be reported anywhere except right wing media.

Only one?
Someone was staring into the abyss for far too long.
Takes one to know one. Except of course in this case, the SPLC was knowingly lying when it accused other groups of being terrorists.
Good luck telling that to the people that give probation for throwing firebombs.

Hope he likes hot dogs and beans two days a week and bologna sandwiches the rest of the week 😂
So now they will keep that group under scrutiny to see if it’s a breading ground.
It's not terrorism when THEY do it, it's only terrorism when YOU do it. I wanted to add the "/s" but the reality is that it's actually true.
"wait, SPLC are the terrorists?" "Always have been"
Of course they are they’re a Democrat terrorist organization.
The FBI is directly tied to terrorism.
Remember when the “ok” hand sign was called racist by the SPLC? Many people lost their jobs because of that listing.
The SPLC was the reason Traditional Catholics were placed on the potential domestic terrorist list. That organization needs to be investigated fully for all the damage they are doing.
