Boston Invokes Anti-Anarchist Laws, Not for Wall Street Crimes
The New York Times reports Boston authorities are using a 1934 anti-anarchist statute against students protesting the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This legal maneuver conveniently sidesteps actual crimes, like, say, the 2008 financial meltdown that caused widespread economic ruin, or the routine looting of the public purse by corporate entities, none of whom ever faced such 'national security'
charges. Funny, isn't it? Instead, righteous indignation at alleged genocide is deemed the true threat, requiring legal artillery reserved for bomb-throwers. It seems our system is quite keen on punishing those who disrupt the comfortable silence of complicity, rather than those who profit from global instability.
