What are the repercussions if Antifa is officially terrorist group?

Posted on 05/31/2020 11:49:08 AM PDT by MNDude

Any legal experts here? What does the terror group really mean? How can they be treated differently in the legal system?

What is the military allowed to do with them now?

What about with those who finance Antifa?

If foreign:

Domestic (post Patriot Act):

This will be interesting, especially if the organization and funding is shown to be foreign.

While I despite Antifa, I think this sets a dangerous precedent for some future administration to do the same to conservative groups

It seems necessary now and don’t disagree in practicality but I fear it will be used against us some day

Wait until the middle of one of their next big "protests" (aka riots and looting sessions)... Surround them, and then via loudspeakers inform them they have been deemed a clear and present danger to the citizens of the US and that lethal force is authorized... Just as the announcement ends, just as that "oh s**t" realization is coming over them open fire. No prisoners.

Ah well, never happen but if it did, Antifa would dissolve in a matter of hours, maybe minutes. At their core I'd bet you all but a relatively few are cowards. They feel bold, they feel safe in big numbers. Take that away, inject very real personal danger into the mix and they're gone.

They said I would get a free trip to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba where they do water boarding. I said, well I like Cuba because they are communist like me and I use a paddle board at the lake. Gee I hope water boarding is not any harder then paddle boarding........

Even the far-left governor of Minnesota admitted that college professors, from the West Coast, were a significant number of the outside agitators in his state this week.

Comrade Soros has an entrenched corps of willing accomplices residing on the faculties of our nation’s campuses.

At some point conservatives need to stop worrying about what if and worry about right now because what is happening now with the lockdowns and this violent mayhem and anarchy is worse than anything that would have happened if a Dem was elected.

Anyone who enables Antifa in any way could be legally liable. Those Hollywood celebrities who are sending money to bail out Antifa members cold be legally charged.

And Ike did by Executive Order.

“On September 23, President Eisenhower issued Executive Order 10730, which put the Arkansas National Guard under federal authority, and sent 1,000 U.S. Army troops from the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock, to maintain order as Central High School desegregated.”

Well when conservative groups start looting, burning, and committing acts of violence then they should be called terrorists too. However I am not very worried about that happening.

That pictured arsonist, at Nashville City Hall, should be easily identified.

Simply enhance the picture, and read his unique tattoos. He’s red-headed.

Probably another Soros college professor.

None. Has legal action been taken against Hillary, Comey, Wray, obama, or any other of the plotters against President Trump? Will legal action be taken? No.

“...They feel bold, they feel safe in big numbers. Take that away, inject very real personal danger into the mix and they’re gone....”

If the big mouth leaders in the middle of the riots start having their heads turned into pink mist from police or National Guard marksmen on rooftops, the rest of the crowd WILL disperse, fast.

You see some assclown about to throw a flaming molotov, that assclown gets neutralized immediately, and violently.

End of riot.

They’re only bold right now because nothing has happened to them to deter them.

Great! Is the Democrat Party affiliated with this terrorist group?

Because if they are, they are terrorists too.

I really doubt that this terrorist designation will happen

My skepticism is based on the failure to designate the Mexican cartels as terrorists - after Trump tweeted that he was going to so

He tweets before he knows whether he can deliver.
