Pittsburgh Police Looking To Charge Local Rappers With Terrorism After They Post An Anti-Police Song On Youtube

Local Pittsburgh news is reporting that rappers from the city made a song "threatening" police and praising convicted cop killer Richard Poplawski. The news report doesn't mention the name of the song or artist, nor does it mention the actual "threats" made to police, but the reason I posted this was because at 1:15 in the video, the news anchor says these rappers could be charged with "terrorism", and sent away to prison "for decades to come".

Last month I documented another case where criminal prosecutors in the Bronx were trying to charge Edgar Morales, an American citizen, as a terrorist, because of a gang related murder he was involved in.

The problem with charging people with terrorism is that the American government has made it very clear as to how they plan to treat terrorists, with bills like The Patriot Act, and the NDAA.  People labeled 'terrorist' will not be allowed even the most basic rights.  You can be indefintely detained with no trial.  You can "disappear".

Sometimes referred to as "domestic terrorism" or "homegrown terrorism", we should all be watching for this trend in domestic law enforcement.

"Is Gang Member A Terrorist?" - The American Government Is Trying Everything To Label As Many People Terrorist As Possible.

In the Tuesday, October 9th, 2012, addition of the Republican-American, I came across an article written by Michael Virtanen of the Associated Press titled "Court considers:  Is gang member a terrorist?".  This article discusses how criminal prosecutors in the Bronx are trying to charge Edgar Morales, an American citizen, as a terrorist, because of a gang related murder he was involved in.  I am seeing more and more articles attempting to charge ordinary American citizens with "terrorist" charges, often referring to it as "domestic terrorism", or "homegrown terrorism".  The problem with doing this is our government has made it obvious with bills like the Patriot Act, and the NDAA, that people labeled "terrorist" will not be granted any of the inalienable rights that are supposedly inherit in every person, as stated in the Declaration of Independence,  Bill of Rights, and the US Constitution.  So you may find yourself getting taken from your home, and held in a jail cell "indefinitely", with no charges brought up against you, because you have been labeled a "terrorist".  I will reporting on this topic more in depth, in future reports.
