...Could BLM activists be prosecuted under RICO?...

A RICO crime consists of four parts, which all must be present for a conviction.
1. Conduct
2. of an enterprise
3. of continuing
4. racketeering activity

The element of ‘racketeering activity’ is extremely broad. The statute includes kidnapping, gambling, arson, robbery, bribery, extortion, or a list of many other criminal statutes. The more common statutes include fraud, obstruction of law enforcement, forgery, and trafficking statutes. It is impossible to have a racketeering claim without finding the defendant guilty of another criminal violation.

Fill in the blanks with what you believe are the incriminating facts and decide.
