NYPD arrested him. They raided his home twice and handcuffed his roommates, for his being associated (not for doing) with people who threw paint at a house, reportedly. (Merely being present at a crime is not a crime in the US, according to his council).
Are they trying to ‘criminalize journalism’? The hate crime enhancement for the criminal mischief crimes (E felonies, which are bumped up to D felonies with the enhancement).
‘We know that hate crime laws are used in reality to prosecute the most vulnerable, not to protect the most vulnerable’ - Leena Widdi
?Should CEOs and execs of multinationals who leverage extensive financial cultural political power, ‘and use that power in support of the genocide, and that is clearly what the prtest is about, and it is absurd that it is being portrayed as hate crimes because of some tangential relationship that these people may have to a protected class, that my client is part of ... he is jewish.' Should executives in such a position, if such can be established as fact, be part of eligible targets for nonviolent protest, or should they be protected the way regular citizens should be in their non-official activities and locations (homes)?
