am unsure of definitions, but doesn’t this type of protesting qualify for being labeled as “anarchy??”
Anarchy
Unlawful Assembly
Trespassing
Criminal Trespass
Assault on LEO
Assault on civilians
Destruction of private property
Destruction of government property
I'd qualify it as "rioting" and would arrest the people who organized it for inciting a riot. Silly me, the rule of law is now so passe!
In the 60s the powers that be sent in officers who weren’t afraid to dent some heads.
They put an end to it.
These protest today are meeting with some success, because the media describes them as simply using their civil rights.
Nobody has the right to injure others, destroy public and or private property. Nobody has a right to deny another person to address the public, or that public to hear them speak.
There are many infractions being broken, but they are being broken by permission.
Law enforcement is allowing them to do it, mostly without cost to the individuals doing it.
Further, any payment for illegal activity is illegal itself.
The benefactor is inciting to riot, to perpetrate civil disobedience.
That’s is actionable. Further, Soros is here as a gesture of good will by the U. S. government. He was accepted into our nation and needs to abide by the rules here.
He swore to do so. Failing to do so, he should be subject to being deported and his citizenship revoked.
As for this being anarchy, I think of anarchy as something that takes place when the government is powerless to stop it.
We have the manpower and ability to stop this dead in it’s tracks. It’s civil disobedience by permission.
That may be anarchy, but it’s not what I generally think of as anarchy.
To me anarchy is more appropriate a term when the government and local civil service has completely collapsed.
Our civil service hasn’t collapsed. It’s standing by and watching without taking action, it could easily take.
Those crowds are not that large. You’ve got a few hundred hooligans with free reign.
They should be circled, arrested to the last man, and placed in prison for a few years.
They are each part of an unlawful assembly that is committing a list of crimes, and so each person should be chargeable for those crimes, they are as a group committing.
