But the vagueness of this charge certainly leads to a lot of confusion.

And you can now look at this case and see that, you know, legal possession of firearms or firearms training and possession of political paraphernalia could bolster ideological links between you and defendants, which could be used as evidence for a charge like this, right?

Yep.

For conspiracy charges.

And that obviously is worrying.

Now, a song faces a minimum penalty of 20 years, a maximum of life in prison.

Other defendants at Prairieland face sentences ranging from a minimum of 10 years to up to 60.

The husband convicted of concealing documents faces up to 40 years in prison.

And those who pled guilty face a sentence of up to 15 years in federal prison, though their cooperation may lower that.

Another man faces charges for evidence tampering because he allegedly removed Prairieland defendants from Discord chats last year.

But this is a state charge which will be going to trial later in April.

This is extremely worrying.

That's part of the point is to scare people, to make people feel like they can't trust other activists, to make people scared to organize, make them scared to be in group chats.

And yeah, there's very real reason to be concerned as a result of this.

However, none of this should be seen as like the final word on all of this stuff.

And this certainly is not as simple as just having a zine or wearing black is terrorism now.

That's not what was adjudicated here.

No, these things do all relate to or they're trying to be connected to, you know, actual crimes which did occur.

And that's certainly the goal, by the way, that the right has, but that's not what they've achieved quite yet.

I mean, it's definitely a way to try to scare people out of organizing in the sense that, you know, you cannot be found a terrorist just by colluding.
