I must be grossly uninformed; I assume this affects our 2nd Amendment rights or some other national security aspect...if it doesn’t then to me it is just a sensationalist distraction from Ryan’s budget, Planned Parenthood, the destruction of our country, etc. What am I missing? I see a new post on this daily and I still don’t care.
Fascist Prosecutorial Discretion. An attempt to end personal liberty.

What am I missing?
Anytime 177 citizens are mass arrested, some attention should be paid. Anytime a citizen is arrested based on 177 identical affidavits of probable cause, attention should be paid. Anytime 177 citizens are held on $1,000,000 bonds, attention should be paid. Anytime the state imposes a gag order blocking dissemination of information and squelching First Amendment rights of citizens, attention should be paid. Anytime 106 citizens are indicted on identical "conspiracy to engage in organized crime", attention should be paid.
For starters.
Can government round up hundreds of people at political rallies and throw them in jail if a few people there (including government operatives stage a fight?

Well, if you don't care about dirty cops, corrupt judges, and tame media, I suppose you don't care. Most sheep don't, until they get to the slaughterhouse.
If you remain disinterested, perhaps they'll even let you pick your own concentration camp.
Some biker gang apologists and defense attorneys spun a conspiracy theory about this case, and a bunch of people fell for it.
After all, it’s much easier to defend these guys if you claim they were “set up” by some nebulous government operation, than if you have to defend them for being members of a criminal gang that planned a showdown with another gang they were at war with, and that showdown was witnessed by dozens of people in broad daylight, resulting in multiple homicides.

Certain FReepers are aligned with the biker gangs?
