Correct. Here, some prominent protesters are being prosecuted on some utterly BS charges - one’s you’d barely believe - and rather than try to find the money to fight them, and/or risk a loss in court that could leave them locked up for effectively the rest of their lives, some have taken plea bargains instead. I’ve no doubt the Department of Injustice is perfectly happy with this - it has the appearance of them “winning” while dissent and protest are effectively suppressed among those who might be similarly inclined.
