I meant fry all the despicable gang members. Don’t tell me he joined the gang for the free baseball hat and the numerous community service opportunities. Was this an Amish gang?
Being in a gang is not, and should not be illegal. Committing crimes is and should be illegal. Obviously, members of gangs commit crimes at a much higher rate than the general population. However, it still is incumbent on the government to PROOVE that a gang member actually committed a crime before punishing that gang member. In this case, the government is essentially prosecuting a gang member for nothing more than being a gang member.
If he did in fact commit crimes, then go after him for the crimes he actually committed. In this case, I find it hard to maintain that he committed a crime because, in relation to the murder in question, he did not actually DO anything. The government is not claiming that he had anything to do with the murder. The government is not claiming that he helped anyone else in the commission of the murder. It is claiming that he is friends with a group that is known to commit crimes, and that the murder was committed by a fellow member of this group. Would you be okay with being charged for conspiracy to commit murder if another Freeper killed someone, simply because you are a member of FR?
