Eric McDavid convicted of conspiracy

From Bombs and Shields

Sacramento, California, U.S. - Anarchist activist Eric McDavid was convicted today in Federal court of conspiring to blow up a variety of targets including cell phone towers, a U.S. Forest Service facility and the Nimbus Dam in Placerville. Two of the co-conspirators Lauren Weiner of Westchester, NY and Zachary Jensen of Monroe, Washington made deals with the prosecution and testified against McDavid. The prosecution also called a woman known only to the court as "Anna" who worked for the FBI as an undercover anarchist protester and set the entire plot in motion. The group discussed claiming their actions on behalf of the Earth Liberation Front but like the targets they talked about never came to a final decision on anything.

Weiner and Jensen will be sentenced soon and are facing a maximum of five years in prison and no minimum. McDavid's sentencing is scheduled for December 6. He faces 5-20 years in prison. Along with selling benefit t-shirts to help offset his legal expenses McDavid's supporters have called for people to contact the Sacramento County Jail and request that they begin providing him with the vegan meals which they began denying on the eve of his trial. McDavid is expected appeal.

Five years in Prison for a

Five years in Prison for a thought crime, that's a real just system... So comforting to know that we have a government that prosecutes people off of their intentions. And yet, the general population is still stupid enough to believe that this is somehow a representation of protection and security of the population.

You are an idiot.
