Then what is the answer?
The way things are going, pretty soon it’s going to be a decision between (1) Stand up and (2) Bend over. When that happens, I think it may very well be “legal ge damned”.
Personal opinion only.
Damnit. “Legal BE damned”, not “Legal GE damned”.
The answer is “vote the bastards out” and, if the idiot constituencies don’t do that, “Let it burn.” The residents of those cities and states voted themselves into this situation; it is up to them to get out again.
Other options include that fact that those assholes (BLM and Antifa) are moving across state lines to riot - which makes them legal game for the Feds. But they’re just cannon fodder, we need the real leaders and financiers.
In a sane world, security and intelligence agencies would be identifying these leaders and taking steps to remove them and destroy their infrastructure. But we don’t live in a sane world. We live in a swamp.
