Original title: "Arrestan a un jóven por su pensamiento ideológico y por una discusión en Instagram lo acusan de "planificar" un atentado contra Milei"

So basically he said "I hope the president gets killed" referring to a common meme about Piñeira's recent helicopter accident and "I will punch you if I see you on the protest" (BTW the pro-gov protest was cancelled because of the overwhelming presence of socialist movements on the street) The rightwing kids reported him to the police and they raided his home, they found he followed communist influencers on socialmedia and this fact was used to criminally charge him. This is the government of the freedom

Based on what the article says, it wasn't so much: "I hope he gets killed" as much as "I will shoot you and (that guy) in the head" as a rebuttal in a "political argument"

Which, the article elaborates the bullshit reasoning the guy is arrested over: essentially communist sympathies and "knowing socialists who could carry out an attack." Whatever the fuck that means.

That second sentence could/would get you a visit from the g-men in the US as well. I'd be curious what the actual conversation was.

But yeah, seems like "being communist" is the primary issue the cops had with him.
