I'm not one of these let's stop hate speech people. How are you going to stop the KKK or whoever if you don't allow them to show themselves ?

Also, doesn't double jeopardy only affect individual citizens from prosecution from the government?
You can't be put on criminal trial for the same crime but you can have civil suits brought against you ex: CA v OJ (criminal) followed up with Goldman v OJ (Civil).
They have had a work around for double jeopardy since the 70s at least. First they try you for the crime, then they charge you for racketeering in relation to the crime, then they charge you under another statute for the crime... It can go on.

But Chanti, according to the sagacity of some posters here violence has never worked against fascism...except maybe that one time in Iran...there was also that Huey Long thing...and Europe. Ok but besides those events it doesn't work.

Obamas donating $2 million to Chicago summer jobs program

Quote:
Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama announced a new financial commitment to the South Side of Chicago Tuesday, the eventual home of Obama’s presidential library.

“Michelle and I will personally donate $2 million to our summer jobs programs here in the community so that right away people can get to work and we can start providing opportunity for them,” Obama said, noting that the center itself will not open for four more years.

“We can’t afford to wait four years to start working together, and so what Michelle and I want to do is start now,” Obama said, citing the issue of violence in Chicago.

The former first couple joined Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, once Obama’s chief of staff, and community leaders for a community event, which included a casual roundtable discussion on the Obama Presidential Center. The center will be built in Chicago’s Jackson Park, and Obama estimated that the center itself will create 200-300 jobs, adding that studies show it will ultimately generate “1,400-1,500 (jobs) in the construction phase and another 2,000 in the overall economic development of the area.”

Let's just make sure we're all on the same page here. There is legitimate, undisputed fascism, and there's what people nowadays like to refer to as fascism to make it all sound far worse than it actually is (just like Nazism, Communism, etc.). Violence may be needed to deal with actual fascist regimes. The "antifa" morons, on the other hand, are doing more harm than good.

He has a shitload more than that $400k speaking fee, and nowhere does it say that he is donating that speaking fee to that program.

On a side note: 250 of the estimated 300 new jobs for his library will be security. They forgot to mention that.....

Seeing as how historical fascist regimes glorified violence, even going so far as saying the strong have a duty to assault the weak, violence is really the best way.

"We beat you, therefore we are stronger."

I like the antifas only slightly better than black block anarchists. Their hearts are in a better place but their heads are up the same orifice.
