Newsmax – The U.S. Department of Justice is dusting off a rarely used 1968 anti-crime measure known as the “H. Rap Brown Law” to launch prosecutions of both the far-left Antifa and white supremacists, DOJ sources told Newsmax on Tuesday.
Officially known as the Anti-Riot Act, the law makes it a federal crime to cross state lines “with intent (A) to incite a riot or (B) to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot.”
Sources in the prosecutorial community who spoke to us agreed the law would easily apply to Antifa after its role in the nationally watched (and often violent) demonstrations against the “Proud Boys” in Portland, Oregon, this weekend.
“An organization of terror,” is what President Trump tweeted about Antifa, whose clashes with the “Proud Boys” brought Portland to a standstill this weekend.
Finish reading here.
If you don’t think this will primarily be used against the Proud Boys or any other group that stands up against AntiFa, then you’re sadly naive. The DoJ and FBI are chock full of democrat filth and never-Trumper RINO assholes.
First thing I’D do, is break up the democrap party with it! 🤔
Fine. So, apply the law to the Oregon ‘anarchists’ who travel to Seattle every year for May Day riots. They break windows, damage cars and wreck havoc in downtown and Seattle’s ‘Capitol Hill’ neighborhood. Of course, you’d have to send some different police to arrest them because Seattle cops won’t.
Out in the west Texas town of El Paso,
Antifa learned of the H. Rap Brown Law
Nighttime would find them locked up in the slammer,
Fat, crying babies like you never saw…
See you in September, assholes. Are you feeling lucky?
Seriously, H. Rap Brown is a piece of shit. He converted to Islam in prison and has been a chancre sore on Atlanta for years. It will be nice to see him being the tool which gets these thugs locked up. F–k you, Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, or whatever you’re calling yourself these days.
Why do they make a big deal out of using the Brown law? Isn’t it already illegal to clobber someone (assault), break windows and burn cars, obstruct the normal flow of traffic or pedestrians without a permit, etc. etc. etc. ????
What am I not understanding about the Brown law that gives greater weight to these crimes? Federal?
…and what happened to identifying Anti-fa fascists as a domestic terror org?
(that’s right, SNCC — the so-called “non-violent” students were all about violence. How the heck many more Summer(s) of ’68 do we have to go through?)
law enforcement aren’t enforcing the law, when they do, the District Attorneys aren’t prosecuting the lawbreakers.
Like we need a ’68 law to prosecute these pricks??
Sorry, don’t get it at all.
Speaking of ’68……..makes me think of what happened a couple of years later, ’70, Kent State. And wishing that it would happen all over again.
Maybe CSNY could make another song about it.(/s)
Really looking forward to September 1 El Paso.
Seems to me we have quite a few other laws as well, that need to be dusted off. Lets go to Washington DC and see how many buracrats can be jailed for once. Maybe we can start a new trend.
@AbigailAdams, @Horatio Prim – The Anti-Riot Act is a federal law, so theoretically antifa thugs could be prosecuted independent of state/local courts.
@AbigailAdams – I’ve read that there currently does not exist a mechanism for maintaining a list of domestic terrorist organizations. What does exist is a list of designated international terrorist organizations, and that’s maintained by the State Department. For the domestic list, there’d have to be enabling legislation for another department (e.g. DHS, DOJ, FBI) to handle that.
It’s all security theater anyway.
The Mule, #1 post
Nailed it!
‘H. Rap Brown Law’
MSM manna from heaven
THIRD TWINN III 4 THE WIN.
I see this escalating to firearms & big
machete/knives sort of thing.Yes,I am a pessimist.
Do these brain dead soyboy turds not realize
they are repeating history to the “T” as
repeat brown shirt club wielding nazi ???
Rose City Antifa is an arm of the PDX Democrat machine. Antifa represents their foot soldiers and The Oregonian operates as the Ministry of Truth
So how do they determine “intent” to “cause a riot”? If a conservative group organizes a peaceful parade, and Antifa shows up and THEY cause a riot, is the conservative group prosecuted? Past history says “yes”.
There are 3 white supremacists. They are self-funded.
There are thousands of antifa psychos, funded by soros.
Since it is part of the “1968 civil rights legislation”
aimed at white supremicists you can’t get a better
pedigree than that. The sweet irony here is it
doesn’t say it is only aimed at the KKK. When they
use it against the America hating, violence loving,
brown supremicists their televised screaming
outrage will be worth many bags of recliner chair popcorn.
Could this kerfuffling by these folks be a result of Bill Ayers, domestic terrorist and Obama confidants failed Revolution? He settled for an evolution, so he went into education… The kids he attempted to whip into a frenzy didn’t want to kill the cops and their parents…Ask ANY public school employee the question- What’s wrong with our public schools? The answer is always PARENTS. Ask them, who educated the parents, and you get blank stares…
I suggest the polar opposite of applying law, old or new.
No police within one mile of the next event.
This will sort itself out rather quickly.
The police are protecting the fascist Antifa whether they intend to or not. That’s what’s really dragging this out.
If these America-hating communists won’t go, they need to go down. That’s what they want for the rest of us. That’s what it’s going to take to end it.
“the law makes it a federal crime to cross state lines “with intent
(A) to incite a riot, or
(B) to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot.”
the DOJ needs to add (C) to fund a riot
