Depending on what the flyers were for and what their intent was by distributing them, it’s possible, yes. Also, it would be a criminal conspiracy for which their part involved passing out flyers.
So the First Amendment doesn’t count for flyers?
Inducing people to violently overthrow the government (sedition) isn’t protected by the first amendment, whether it’s done with a bullhorn or a flyer.
This is so simple that I can tell you’re just arguing in bad faith.
Can you demonstrate that they were doing such a thing?
Yeah, they overthrow the sealion farm just yesterday.
So you can’t demonstrate it. In other words, you’ve been dishonest.

I’m happy to have it laughed out of court, but the charge and law they broke seem valid and worth arrest and a trial.
If you don’t want the people doing the small parts of a conspiracy to face charges start working to change the law.
