The Justice Department announced Friday that a jury convicted Florida man and social media “troll” 33-year-old Douglass Mackey over internet memes posted during the 2016 presidential election.
Legal experts raised concerns about the trial of the 33-year-old Mackey, who posted under the alias “Ricky Vaughn 99” earlier this year on First Amendment grounds.

Jokes are now prosecutable.
Politicians by nature are the most obvious target for satire and parody.
Liberals are turning us into a people devoid of any humor, much as North Korea does with its own people.
Seems like there were memes going both ways.
How does anything in the People’s Republic of New York City have jurisdiction over the Internet?
Absurd. If parody is illegal then the courts should be prosecuted.
This needs to be appealed ASAP.
The balls on these guys.
umm April Fool’s joke?
If only there was some high level court this could be taken to, that could overturn gross violations of civil rights.....

April Fools, or not.
Most memes by the Left to do harm were some of the best Pro-Trump memes we all loved.

As it turns out, a woman called Kristina Wong posted an almost identical meme the same year back during the 2016 election, but unlike Doug Mackey, Wong voted for Hillary Clinton. "Hey, Trump supporters," she wrote. "Skip poll lines and text in your vote." Same crime, but the Department of Justice under Joe Biden has shown no interest in prosecuting Kristina Wong.

This had better go up to the supreme court- voicing opinions is NOT election interference!
[[“Mackey has been found guilty by a jury of his peers of attempting to deprive individuals from exercising their sacred right to vote for the candidate of their choice in the 2016 Presidential Election,”]]
And how did he do that? Lock people in a room on election day? How did his words prevent anyone from voting?
We know the clintons and the democrat party in general lied about Trump working with the Russians.
Lock them all up.
There is no Constitutional right to vote for President, so said Scalia, and I believe he was correct.
No it’s for real.
I wonder if the prosecution will be able to produce even one person who did not vote because of this meme. Laches or standing or some such thing.

What’s the real motivation behind this monkey trial by the Injustice Dept?
To “prove” and publicize that, you see, it was Trump supporters who cheated
