An independent journalist with unapologetic principles is awaiting a jury verdict. Wishing all the best for @alissaazar

Send good thoughts. This is someone who has dedicated a lot to community support and thoughtful coverage of important regional events.

Well... terrible news. The verdict was nonsensical (guilty on the most severe count, but not on the less serious, more relevant one).

This was self / community defense; certainly not felony riot.

I believe Azar's attorneys are going to appeal but it's not good. I have no concept of sentencing guidelines or what appeals process looks like, but I do know that the need for support only becomes more urgent now.

@AnarchoDoggo @AnarchoDoggo My heart hurts for her. This is so nasty

@thotchev esp with all the vitriol and celebration from the outright fascists who have ruthlessly targeted and harassed her.

It's so infuriating.

It's a dark day

@AnarchoDoggo @thotchev

The whole thing is just so twisted.

I'm ashamed of my home state.

@AnarchoDoggo @alissaazar Fash journalists are whining about the anti-fascist presence outside.

Mess with one of us, answer to all of us.
