Will now be extrapolated into over-aching racist theories on geo-politics and other underlying nefarious schemes of completely unrelated sitting members of Congress.

Just another delightful morning in UHub.

Where if you say you don't think schools should go to remote learning you will be called a "Trumpist"

I know this site is very particular about its use of the word alleged but she was convicted of grabbing a US soldier’s gun. Therefore, the use of alleged is inappropriate here. It irked me that her Wikipedia page so deliberately uses alleged to describe her terrorism which she wasn’t tried for, it was clearly edited by a fan.

I feel very acknowledged to have my comment recognized and the word alleged removed. I have two teenagers so feeling acknowledged is very important to me…

If she wasn't tried for something, wouldn't "alleged" be used in most every style guide?

For what it's worth, many of us (myself included) who do court evaluations use alleged for instance when someone has been convicted of something but people interviewed and sources consulted aren't in agreement with what happened, while noting the conviction. The judicial system is hardly infallible.

It is consistent with the Wikipedia Manual of Style and Biography of Living Person policy. She hasn't been convicted of terrorism so labeling her a terrorist would be inconsistent with the Manual and Policy.
