I’d like to see some arrests under this statute.

The neo-fascists aka “Antifa” in the Bay Area have me quite worried. I seriously doubt they have the numbers or means to overthrow the US, but they certainly have the ability to cause serious trouble. I think these uniformed thugs have showed up in other places, as well.
