FBI drops charges on Rakem Balogun ...1st case dealing with a so called "Black Identity Extremist"

[videogamestashbox.com]

Following two years of FBI surveillance, Daniels was arrested in an early-morning raid on his apartment and indicted for unlawful possession of a firearm. Daniels was not allowed to own a firearm, the government claimed, because he was convicted on a misdemeanor charge more than 10 years ago for domestic assault in Tennessee in 2007.

Mike German, a retired FBI agent and fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice’s Liberty and National Security Program, said the case against Daniels was incoherent and constituted massive overreach on the part of the government.

“The justification for pretrial detention seems pretty specious since they knew he had a gun for two years,” said German. “Just the idea that a law enforcement agency feels it has the authority to do disruptive activities against people it can’t prove have committed serious crimes… if the government can target you for selective prosecution because it doesn’t like you, then what rights remain?”

The indictment was dismissed May 1, when a district court in Texas determined “domestic assault” as codified by Tennessee law does not fit the federal definition of domestic violence that would prohibit him from owning a firearm. Daniels was ultimately released from custody two days later.

- Charges Dropped in First Case Against ‘Black Identity Extremist’




It's important that people understand something though.
The notion of being a "Black identity Extremist" is simply a designation, they still have to get him on a viable charge.

They can label him a "Black identity Extremist" till they are blue in the face. To be explicit it's not illegal to be a so called "Black identity Extremist", again that's simply a categorization. What happens is when a person is categorized they come under increased scrutiny to do at least 2 things...

1. Surveillance - Are they planning something the state needs to be aware of in order to prevent it's existence
2. Prosecution - Are they now or have they ever(within the statutes of limitation) broken established laws we can lock them up for.

• Extra judicial execution - (wild card)This is when a persons influence is deemed a "threat" to the state yet they haven't done anything actually illegal to prosecute them under

Point being ...them simply calling someone a "Black identity Extremist" doesn't have teeth. That person has to also break an existing law.
(now if your going to be killed ...your going to be killed hire quality security and hope your team isn't infiltrated)

There seems to be people who assume the "Black identity Extremist" label is synonymous to something like the "terrorist" label where a person hit with that label can have a bomb dropped on their head damn near site unseen.

Eric holder on "terrorist" "assassinations"

Holder: Not 'assassination' to target Americans in terror hunt
By Terry Frieden

The attorney general's speech to an audience at the Northwestern University Law School in Chicago marked his most expansive comments on the subject of deadly attacks against Americans since his lawyers in the Office of Legal Counsel wrote a still-secret opinion declaring such lethal attacks are legal and justifiable.

But he said three conditions must exist. The U.S. government must have determined that the individual poses an imminent threat of violent attack against America; capture of the suspect is not feasible; and the operation would be conducted within the principles of the law of war.

Holder argued that al Qaeda has the ability to spring surprise attacks and is considered to be continuously planning against to attack on America. Therefore, the law allows for striking even before the "precise time, place, and manner of an attack becomes clear."

"Such a requirement would create an unacceptably high risk that our efforts would fail, and that Americans would be killed," he said.

Holder rejected the charge that the deadly operations violate the government's ban on assassinations and dismissed the notion the strikes fit the definition of assassination at all.

"Some have called such operations 'assassinations.' They are not, and the use of that loaded term is misplaced," he said. "Assassination are unlawful killings," while killings under the conditions he outlined would be lawful.

Holder also took issue with those who have charged the government agencies must get permission from a federal court before taking action against an al Qaeda target.

"This is simply not accurate," Holder said. "Due process and judicial process are not one and the same, particularly when it comes to national security. The Constitution guarantees due process, not judicial process."

Now the "Black identity Extremist" label could certainly be a first step to something akin to the "terrorist" label ...but it's certainly not there yet.

You dont know its possible until they come for you.

Come to think of it. Micah X was supposedly executed via remote control bomb in public. No jury, no judge,no trial, just strait to execution. When did that become cool? I feel like I missed when that was legalized. I was so shook when i found out.
