This isn't just shocking...It's illegal

[theDoctorisIn]

Sedition is the crime of revolting or inciting to revolt against the government. 18USCA2384
Prosecutions are rare, but do occur.

Do you see these comments fulfilling the elements of 18 USC 2384?

Truthfully, no. But that wasn't what I was arguing. You said sedition wasn't illegal and I showed it was.

Well, it's actually not.

Seditious conspiracy is illegal. Sedition is not.

I believe I'll just go with the definition in the legal dictionary, describing sedition as the crime of revolting or inciting to revolt against the government

John Brown was guilty of sedition, the preachers and reporters that egged him on and helped him gain supporters were not.
John Brown was hanged, as were some of his "army", but not one loudmouth preacher from upstate ny or any reporters from boston were.
Precedent
In more modern times, Glenn Beck has yet to be prosecuted for his calls for uprisings.

Perhaps it would be better to go with the actual law, rather than the "legal dictionary".

Did you actually bother to read 18 USC 2384?

What did it say at the top of the page?

A civil war would be better then serfdom!

I'd whether fight then take it in the ass!

Sedition is a crime.

Next time when you cut and paste from wikipedia, you should try to make sure you're not proving your opponent's argument for them.

Read the bolded part - and think about why it might say "sedition remains a crime..."

(It's because the law against "sedition" was found unconstitutional)

The left wanting to take up arms for any reason is laughable at best.

The crime of sedition is punishable by fines and jail time but is rarely prosecuted.
Incite to violence is also a punishable crime as those fellas that egged on a rape and assault found out.

It says sedition remains a crime.

Thanks.

That's what I'm saying.

It says sedition remains a crime.

Thanks.

i.e., in other cases, it is no longer crime.

Sedition remains a crime - but only if two or more people conspire to do it.

That's the part that seems to be flying over your head.

"Sedition" just means speaking out and verbally rebelling against the authority of the state.

He called for a revolution.

In 1994 the Republicans named their movement the Republican REVOLUTION. How many of them should have gone to jail?

 

[RWNJ]

What liberals really mean, when they say sedition is not a crime, is that's it's not a crime if THEY do it. If anyone else does it, it's a hanging offense. I mean, How do you think libs would have reacted if Conservatives had done the same thing to Obama? You don't have to answer. We all know exactly how they'd behave.

You honestly don't see that Conservatives are still doing all of this to Obama, even though he's not in office anymore?

You honestly don't know that Obama is a crook, and possibly guilty of treason? Amazing!

Deutsch isn't an anchor, he's just a commentator that shows up once in a while.

Predictable as always that you support inciting to riot.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

I'm of the Left. I don't want gun control..the more women and minorities who have guns, the better.

Everyone knows that's what you want, we also know you want to disarm eveyone else, that's what this [gun control movement] is all about.
