What the ever loving F? The FBI has a category of domestic “terror threats” called “black identity extremists”? From @guardian

theguardian.com/world/2018/may…

FIVE MONTHS IN JAIL WITHOUT BAIL. “Tried and failed to prosecute.”

“Balogun spoke to the Guardian this week in his first interview since he was released from prison after five months locked up and denied bail while US attorneys tried and failed to prosecute him...”

Here’s an earlier story from @ForeignPolicy (@guardian credits FP with breaking the story - where are Texas media??)

FFS. InfoWars?

Protected political speech has to be explained to the FBI?

To be clear. The arrest is on Trump’s watch but the FBI surveillance began on Obama’s.

Back to @guardian story

“The official one-count indictment against Balogun was illegal firearm possession” prosecutors alleged he was prohibited from owning a gun due to a 2007 misdemeanor domestic assault case in TN. But a judge rejected the charge, saying the firearms law did not apply.

Think about that. One indictment. Five months without bail. Lost his home. Job. Car. With zero recourse.

Compare that to men who have truly harmed people. Wall Street implosion. Cosby et al.

Oh that’s right. Those men harmed “suckers” and women, third-class citizens according to our court system.
