Considering they were caught ON those cameras, yeah.
And more: Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office Pulls Plug On Flock Cameras as Statewide Backlash Grows

Good. The entire state should stop/ban them. Minnesotans know, alongside most of America, that these things are part of the growing police state, and in too many cases, used by our modernized brownshirts. ALL states should get rid of these, one way or the other. By any means.

Let them fight

History is full of people like this. They feel that if they pull hard enough for the parts of fascism that aren't aimed at them, they'll be protected from the parts that are. Milo was happy to be a token, but the thing about tokens is that they exist to be spent.

So terrorist who makes assassination threats gets deported back to the UK, not stuffed in a concentration camp? Oh wait, he's a WHITE terrorist.

As far as I can tell, the supposed assassination threat was
On social media, Loomer said she reported Yiannopoulos to authorities after he allegedly made threatening posts about her, including one alleged post from March featuring her photo and the caption “target practice.”


I doubt that constitutes a "true threat" in US law, unpleasant though it certainly is. If it does, the US is going to have to build a lot more camps, and Elon Musk needs urgently to reconsider X's business model.

James Comey was indicted for posting sea shells, so yeah, those camps are coming.

From what I've read, Trump and his Justice Department are using indictments as a form of lawfare to punish people who offend them. The cases themselves stand no chance of success (at some point a court will dismiss the charges against Comey, just as were the cases against Comey and Leticia James last year and, more recently the attempt to prosecute David Hearn for vandalising the Reflecting Pool).

The point is, though, to punish people by causing them the stress, inconvenience and expense of being accused, regardless of the outcome.

To my mind, no one thought to indict Milo for anything because even the most enthusiastic members of Trump's army of online trolls would recoil from the idea that right-wing polemicists might be prosecuted for harassing and shitposting on social media.

Looks like Milo will struggle for work now he's back home:

GB News wouldn’t touch him’: Milo Yiannopoulos will struggle to fit in with UK right wing

Since he left the UK, GB News has become the ascendant broadcast outlet of the right, but he is unlikely to find a place there. A source at the channel said: “We wouldn’t touch him with a barge pole, not in a million years. GBN had a few odd people to start with and we’ve got rid of them.”

Of the provocative positions that brought him notoriety in the US, the GB News source said: “He won’t make much money out of it here, he appeals entirely to an American audience. It’s a bigger country and you have a bigger pool of fruit loops.”
It's suggested he'll end up as an advisor to Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain party, which is even further right than Nigel Farage's Reform Party and which enjoys the support of Elon Musk.
