Douglass Mackey wrote: "There is no way that Libtards can 'Take Down Tesla' without violence and vandalism. Normal Americans don’t care what libtards think and would keep buying Teslas. Libtard objective is terror campaign to scare people away from buying Teslas and should be considered illegal intimidation. It’s an 18 USC 241 Conspiracy to Threaten and Intimidate Americans exercising their right to freely travel in public and engage in commerce.

I've been saying for a couple weeks that the RICO statutes can nail all these bastards from Elias down to the foot soldiers lying on the showroom floor. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, can include "conspiracy against rights" under its broad scope, depending on the specific circumstances. RICO, codified under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-1968, was originally designed to combat organized crime but has since been applied to a wide range of criminal activities. It targets patterns of racketeering activity, which are defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1961(1) as including various predicate offenses.

One relevant predicate offense that could connect to "conspiracy against rights" is a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241, which is explicitly listed under RICO. Section 241 makes it a federal crime for two or more persons to "conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person" in the exercise of their constitutional or legal rights. This statute directly addresses conspiracies against rights, such as those protected under the U.S. Constitution (e.g., free speech, voting, or equal protection). If such a conspiracy involves a pattern of activity (at least two acts within a 10-year period) and is tied to an enterprise affecting interstate commerce, it could fall under RICO’s jurisdiction.

Roll the whole damn network up under RICO Section 241!


Pinging Liz -- send out to your list. POF.
