    What I don’t understand is, why would we need to wait for someone’s house to be set on fire to make it stick in court? The intent and actions of the stochastic terrorist are still the same.

    Our legal system is pretty stupid that way.

      in past cases i’ve only heard of it being pursued in civil courts after the fact… feels like there’s something different when talking about judges but he always qualifies his rhetoric…
      like “and there’s only one thing left to do, with this giant conspiracy using the law to manipulate the government! (pause) pursue legal action within the guidelines of the law, of course!”.
      it seems a lot like he’s implying legal action is pointless and it’s time to do illegal things….
      also looking at the director of the fbi and attorney general doesn’t give me hope they’ll pursue this one….
