alt Hacker News> these days anyone who says "I support Palestine Action"
They have a video of people from this group attacking police with sledgehammers. It is strange how much of this 'direction action' is harming Ukraine support and not Israel. If people wanted to support Palestine they can do it without attacking their own countries' military - which is not operating in Israel at all.
> "she was murdered by ICE"
They have a video of her being shot, pretty much needlessly. I'd say that should be manslaughter at a minimum.

I find it horrifying (though not surprising) how many people can assume that just because you express some level of support for a group, you are complicit in all actions taken by that group.
In the extreme, that sort of view makes it impossible to have criminal lawyers. (And not far below that extreme, we have people using all their power to go after independent judges and lawyers with every extrajudicial tool at their disposal, legal system be damned.)
The nuance between speech and action was one of the many casualties of social media. I wonder if, back in the 90's, people would get arrested for holding "FREE KEVIN MITNICK" posters, if we'd had two decades of social media before it.
Congratulations, you've reached the level of "terrorist well-wisher"

Why was her vehicle in gear, engine running?

How is direct action on Palestine impacting Ukraine support? (We are also not intervening in Ukraine)
The UK military is and has been operating in Gaza, the UK government is just lying about it. Public flight tracking data makes it obvious.

Do you have the name or names of the person accused of 'attacking police with sledgehammers'?
I've heard a lot about this, but it's difficult to get to actual sources about exactly what is alleged.
Even if this did happen as you say. attachking police with sledgehammers is assault, potentially even attempted murder. There's plenty of laws for that.
It's not terrorism.
