That is the $64,000 question. And the other question is: why is nothing being done about it?
Trump and Barr know exactly who is doing it. And if they had any Federal law enforcement agencies actually reporting to them, they might be able to do something about it.
The Communists and anarchists imported from Europe in the ‘10s and ‘20s are the direct forerunners of the troubles we now live.
Perhaps it's time to look at these statutes again.
This question I can answer. The Anarchists including ANTIFA and the politicians are playing for the same team. The Police are the Politician's Enforcers. They will do as the Boss orders. If they are told to ignore the Anarchists,[they are not protesters, they are Anarchists and rioters]they will ignore them. If ordered to bust them, they will bust them. By the same token, if ordered to shoot you, your ass is shot. If ordered to round you up and put you in camps, your ass is rounded up.
Why anyone wants to see the National Guard called up to face these Anarchists is beyond me. I still remember when they had to face them at Kent State. And the persecution and torment that the politicians put them through for years after that. I would not wish that on anybody. But some do.
Obama has tried to change the 22nd amendment by never quite leaving office...the devil is truly in the details here with the Obama founded and led OFA...and The Deep State which never leaves office. The word "Protester", is a misnomer, peaceful is not a description for what antifa or blm do in the name of peace nor is OFA Constitutionally correct.
