18 U.S. Code § 231. “Civil Disorders” is a charge defined under federal law as a “public disturbance involving acts of violence which causes an immediate danger of or results in injury to people or their property.” [LINK] Apparently this federal statute is now being used by U.S. attorney’s across the country.

…well, as long as we’re invoking United States Code, do THIS one, TOO…
“10 U.S. Code § 252 – Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority
“Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.”

It’s about time. Actually, way overdue.
And I hope they pay particular attention to the ringleaders, governors, mayors etc.
Brian Moran is US Attorney in Seattle. He has been solid, let’s hope that history is something to go by.
The City of Portland Taxpayers are paying to house the Democrat rioters encampments.

It would be great if someone can get this link to Tucker Carlson
What’s the point when the rioters stand before the Federal Judge and they release the 3 time offenders with an order of a curfew with no monitoring? They’ll be right back on the street.
@cato – we can’t just say ho hum – we have to ask for accountability.
Judges facilitating lawlessness need to be disbarred and replaced by people who have common sense..

It seems to me there was a time when judges were expected to be people of impeccable integrity and honor. These days it doesn’t seem to matter how they get into office there is a critical mass who wouldn’t know the meaning of the words.
Under the Insurrection Act, the president is required to make a declaration in advance of invoking it. This sounds like this may be that declaration. Let us hope and pray.
@Gladys, Federal judges are lifetime appointments, too. Not sure what it takes to get them axed.
@Abigail Adams – be careful. IF the POTUS does that? He must, like YOU said, give notice.
Well, giving notice to criminals (Antifa and the BLM Anti WHite Anarchists) what do criminals do??
They FLEA. THEY go back into the wooden cracks they came out of so this may not be what we want…yet.
IF he does declare that?? Oh my look out AND it will NOT be until after the ‘contested’ election.
@ghost — fine by me, sir. I think this would put federal resources on the ground to root them out and prosecute them under federal law; something that isn’t happening at all right now.
Something I’ve been noticing a lot lately about the names of the white BLM anarchists. Look at their names — especially the ones charged in this story. These people have names that seem to have been carefully chosen by their expectant parents. I see this a lot inre antifa and blm kids. Some strange spellings and stuff, but that’s all part of that generation’s obsession with gender-neutral names like Madison, Sailor, and Kylie. Hm. Interesting.
Cato that is why the Federal charges, the city can not let them off.
These high bail charges are keeping them in jail and this why we are seeing things calm down, they have got the message P.Trump is not screwing around, and they are scared shit less that they will go to jail for 10 to 30 years. The DOJ have been looking at the driving and flying around the country of antifa and they are charging them, with more to come,just watch.
RICO charges coming up.
the linked article is a VERY long read but full of facts, case law, and history so in my opinion it is worth reading.
The last time these federal charges were used?
the 1968 riots
First offense:
5 years in a federal prison
$250,000 fine
3 years supervised release
Trump ordered this law to be dusted off and used because of all these anti-american scumbags that are on video during riots breaking this law by the thousands, while hundreds are arrested none are convicted and all get cashless bail so they can go right out the next night and do it all over again… all because of local demoncrats enabling it to happen for months on end now.
As heels up harris said the riots WILL continue after the election with no end in sight this is Trump’s last card to play before average everyday citizens decide that enough is enough and begin the much needed cleansing without government action or approval.
@Abigail Adams – we don’t know who is being prosecuted right now.
You do know there ARE prosecutions going on correct?
There is no FREE fall at the DOJ going on right now.
