Cool !

I had to read this twice to make sure I read it right. I am still stunned. Not only is the attitude disrespectful of soldier by calling them "dregs of society" ...
All of that leads me to be believe that if a member of your militia does something boneheaded related in any way to his perception of his militia duty, everyone in the militia will be facing a conspiracy charge.
IRC from my early civics classes, for conspiracy to exist, two or more people must not only discuss performing some illegal activity, but take atleast one actual action toward its completion or performance before a conspiracy legally exists.
A punishable conspiracy exists when at least two people form an agreement to commit a crime, and at least one of them does some act in furtherance to committing the crime.
RPCVYemen said:If there is evidence that the organization had a general intent to break a law, then I don't think that the burden of proof is very high - I am pretty sure that if the government can show that a conspiracy has been formed, they are not required to show that you took any over action to further the conspiracy.
From what I rcall, some further action beyond discussion is required.
From what I rcall, some further action beyond discussion is required. If someone is saying "something needs to be done to solve this race problem," ... and those particular individuals who participated in the discussion might be charged with conspiracy (not the entire theoretical militia ...)
If there are a series of discussions that reflect a desire to intimidate or harass a minority group, then I would suspect that the whole group would be charged.
