The people printing the magazines were directly involved in shooting a police officer. The magazines were used as evidence to paint them as terrorists to get them longer sentences.
Now, I wholly disagree with painting them as terrorists to get longer sentences. That’s definitely bad, and I hope it gets overturned on appeal.
But they were pretty involved in active criminal activity in which an officer was shot in the neck. They weren’t arrested for “just printing magazines.”

Two of them were not even present at the time of the shooting. This regime used NSPM-7 and the PA to get leftists on terrorism charges. They will do this again, it will be worse next time. We are very close to masked men knocking down our doors and dragging us out in the middle of the night. Do you think this is just going to go away? That everything is just going to work out? The tyrants will stop at precisely this amount of abuse of power and no further? Not once in history has a slide into authoritarianism just “worked out”.
