The state of Georgia has indicted over 60 protesters on organized crime and racketeering charges over their involvement in the movement to stop the construction of a $90 million police training facility in Atlanta that opponents have dubbed “Cop City.”

...

RICO charges can result in a fine or a five to 20 year prison sentence in Georgia.

How do you call the act of throwing a Molotov cocktail as being an overt act a bullshit charge on its face?

@jonny

You assume that it didn't happen because you didn't see it? If there's a conspiracy to commit violence that culminates in the throwing of a Molotov cocktail, I'd certainly consider the act of throwing it an overt act to further that conspiracy.

I want those charged to have a fair defense (which is unfortunately not a given in the US), but I also don't have a problem with these charges in general. To call the charges ridiculous seems biased at best.

There's an argument to be made that a cryptocurrency is a commodity like other currencies so it should be treated like a currency.
