The editorial board of the Las Vegas Sun finds it distressing that the Trump maladministration is coming after an honorably-discharged veteran for having the unmitigated gall to peacefully stand up to Donald Trump’s not-so-secret police. Here’s a tiny bit from their editorial:
Take note that Mavalwalla is not accused of striking officers, vandalizing vehicles or destroying property. While some other participants were arrested at the time of the protest, Mavalwalla wasn’t among them. Nor is he accused of participating in any violence or property destruction. Instead, weeks later, on the day he was moving into a new home with his girlfriend and children, the FBI arrived at dawn, shackled him in front of his family and charged him with “conspiracy to impede or injure officers.” He now faces the possibility of a $250,000 fine, up to six years in prison and an additional three years of supervised release.
