The essay in question: a film review I wrote in 2019 about the horror movies “Hereditary” and “Midsommar.”
I blinked twice, rubbed my eyes, and then began digging around on the internet to understand.
To my astonishment, prosecutors had introduced my seven-year-old analysis of feminism’s relationship to horror cinema as “evidence of ideologically driven intent” the previous day.
…
The appearance of my review in the trial is a brazen attempt at conjuring “guilt by literature” — just one of the tactics prosecutors have used to criminalize speech and use First Amendment-protected speech as a legal weapon against the Trump administration’s political enemies.
Nobody, by the way, is suggesting that Estrada shot or conspired to shoot the officer. He stands accused of two crimes: attempting to conceal documents “by transporting a box containing numerous Antifa materials” and conspiracy to conceal those zines. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
Jesus, what’s next.
You didn’t give passion of the Christ 5 stars, you must not be a true American.
Top it off though, it’s fricking insane that say, supporting feminism is fair to show motive and intent. Meanwhile didn’t rittenhouse have like major tweets basically saying that he was hoping for a chance to shoot some protestors, before crossing state lines and shooting some protestors, and the court ruled his public statements would unfairly bias the jury or some nonsense?
SomeAll of those that work forces…They’re all fascists.
