    Oh look, the overreaching anti-terrorism laws are being used to silence anyone who disagrees with the government. That’s definitely not something anyone saw coming

      “Released without charge”

      Nazis do a lot of that?

      Edit. Look at all you people downvoting me because you want to believe the Nazis weren’t that bad and would let people go without charge. Shame on you.

          Not to mention the normalization of such a connection between pro-palestine and “terrorism”. People who are out of the loop will read the headline and assume that the person arrested for terrorism is guilty. They’ll start to associate the pro-Palestinian viewpoint with terrorism if enough arrests like these make it into headlines.
