Re: Insurrectionist Trumpers Whine When They Find Out They're On The No-Fly List

I guess you're not familiar with the stellar individuals who serve on juries. Anyone can be found "not guilty", even if they were.

The "no-fly list" is itself an affront to American traditions. It is certainly not a legislatively enacted criminal penalty. In fact, most of the people on it have not been convicted of any crimes. It is supposed to be used only for international terrorists. Does it even have a formal name? "No fly" sounds like baby talk, or at least very informal language, but there doesn't seem to be any other name for it.

Given that flying is a privilege, preventing people who are known or suspected terrorists is a generally prudent precaution. The issue I have with "no fly" lists is that they can be used in an arbitrary and capricious manner, and the people placed on such restrictions aren't able to ascertain why they have been so restricted, or what, if any, appeals process there is for getting their flying privileges restored. It is possible to end up on a no-fly list because you pissed off the wrong politician, or even the wrong flight crew.

That said, anyone who took part in the attempted coup at the Capitol, is by definition a terrorist, and the government is within its rights to keep them off the same airplanes you and I might wish to travel aboard.

Does that also include Orooj Rahman and coliford mattis, two of the molotov throwing lawyers from Brooklyn who took place in the BLM riots here?

Yup. They appear to have thrown promising legal careers away. If convicted, they are likely to spend decades in federal prison (I think New York State is the proper forum for their trial, not federal court. The federal case involves some unusually creative logic in order to make examples of these two), to say nothing of being able to actually travel anywhere.

Or a Patriot, depending on where you stand.

BTW, if you go on any police forums or chat rooms nationwide, guess what side 90% are on? All those police, Feds, and National Guardsmen on Monday, guess who's side the overwhelming majority are on?

Any nutcase can call themselves a patriot, but thankfully it's the judgement of rational people that prevail. At least for now.

But, there are sane patriots as well.
