    And if there’s evidence that they knew they were actively participating in a criminal conspiracy by doing so they deserve their probation or a few months in jail.

        Depending on what the flyers were for and what their intent was by distributing them, it’s possible, yes. Also, it would be a criminal conspiracy for which their part involved passing out flyers.

            Inducing people to violently overthrow the government (sedition) isn’t protected by the first amendment, whether it’s done with a bullhorn or a flyer.

            This is so simple that I can tell you’re just arguing in bad faith.

      three activists previously charged with felony intimidation after authorities said they distributed flyers calling a state trooper a “murderer” for his involvement in the fatal shooting of a protester.

        I’m happy to have it laughed out of court, but the charge and law they broke seem valid and worth arrest and a trial.

        If you don’t want the people doing the small parts of a conspiracy to face charges start working to change the law.
