In protests that followed the killing and the police sweeps, six people were arrested and charged with domestic terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>In December, the same charges were filed against five people after law enforcement moved in to clear barricades and confront protesters.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of domestic terrorism laws, including some civil rights groups, oppose them \u201cbecause of the risk of politicization, because they can be used against politically disfavored groups by the government,\u201d Patrick Keenan, a professor of law at the University of Illinois, said.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Queen of <a href=\"https:\/\/pjmedia.com\/news-and-politics\/chris-queen\/2023\/01\/31\/suddenly-domestic-terrorism-charges-are-a-problem-now-that-atlanta-is-using-them-against-antifa-n1666540\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PJ Media<\/a> notes the double standard:<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the way the federal government has treated those who entered the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. While it\u2019s true that there were some people involved in the J6 riots who had nefarious intent to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power, the vast majority of those who walked into the Capitol that day were innocent people who found themselves swept along in the excitement of the day. Most of them were peaceful and certainly not violent extremists, insurrectionists, or domestic terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>Consider the Department of Justice under Attorney General Merrick Garland. Garland and his federal law enforcement apparatus have sought to go after parents who disagree with leftist indoctrination in their kids\u2019 school curriculum and targeted pro-life protesters and activists.<\/p>\n<p>If the liberal media wants to know why so many Americans no longer trust them, this would be a great place to start.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2023\/02\/nbc-news-suddenly-concerned-domestic-terrorism-charges-now-used-antifa\/\">NBC News Suddenly Concerned About Domestic Terrorism Charges Now That They\u2019re Being Used Against Antifa<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/\">The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For two solid years now, the liberal media has been breathlessly referring to the J6 Trump supporters as<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
