Remember everyone. They are charging him with terrorism so they can go after ANYONE who parrots his rhetoric.

PLEASE BE AWARE OF THAT.

This is a huge point I think is flying past a lot of people. If the terrorism charge sticks anyone supporting Luigi are supporting his rhetoric will be 'providing material support' for a terrorist or disseminating messages that promote terrorism. Easy knock-knock black bag and off you go.

Do you have a citation for the claim that people who merely support the rhetoric of someone charged with terrorism will get charged with "providing material support for terrorists". Do you have a single example of such a thing happening?

As a lawyer, I've literally never heard of that.

So I'm definitely not a lawyer, fyi. The material support clause can be intangible and so I think applicable to speech and I'm thinking specifically of all the people using the meme of "I was in yadayada location with Luigi that day". Not sure how it applies to a go fund me. I meant what I said as a warning of a potential reasons for the terrorism charge and potential repercussion, People will then be supporting a terrorist, and need to be aware that is a very thin line to tread in terms of legality, and could be easily abused by the govt.
