DOJ Dusts Off ‘68 ‘H. Rap Brown Law’ to Prosecute Antifa

FTA:
The U.S. Department of Justice is dusting off a rarely used 1968 anti-crime measure known as the “H. Rap Brown Law” to launch prosecutions of both the far-left Antifa and white supremacists, DOJ sources told Newsmax on Tuesday.

Officially known as the Anti-Riot Act, the law makes it a federal crime to cross state lines “with intent (A) to incite a riot or (B) to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot.”

Sources in the prosecutorial community who spoke to us agreed the law would easily apply to Antifa after its role in the nationally watched (and often violent) demonstrations against the fascist “Proud Boys” in Portland, Oregon, this weekend.

So now the “Proud Boys” are fascists, since they are opposed by Antifa which falsely calls itself anti-fascist. Yikes! Does this writer even know what a fascist is?
