This is the sort of insanity we get when Leftists never have to deal in the real world on a day-to-day basis. They’re so self-brainwashed as to their righteousness that they can’t believe it when things don’t go their way, and double down on stupid.

CASE IN POINT The state of Georgia tried convicted and jailed 27 corrupt educators under this law.....
<><> for falsely taking public money,
<><> for falsifying official school records, and so on.
BACKSTORY The 1980 Georgia General Assembly was concerned about the increasing sophistication of various criminal elements on the public payroll (and those in elective and appointive office). the increasing sophistication of various criminal elements on the public payroll (and those in elective and appointive office). The Georgia General Assembly then adopted the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), patterned after a similar federal law. (RICO is routinely used to try to prove that a legal business was being used for illegal means, and, in at its inception, RICO was used to prosecute drug traffickers or organized crime members).
In recent years prosecutors have applied RICO to crooked government officials: (1) those accused of using their public offices for personal gain, and, (2) tax-paid officials of govt agencies using public monies to flout the law. To bring a case under Georgias RICO law, there must be at least two underlying felonies such as fraud, bribery, witness tampering (among other felonies). RICO allows prosecutors to include multiple defendants charged with various crimes in the blanket indictment, and to charge that govt employees, publicy-funded and publicly-sanctioned entities were allegedly part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.
EXAMPLE A govt official commits two felonies by (1) accepting, and, (2) filing falsified documents.
ITEM---Any public official using tax dollars to flout that law is a lawbreaker.
ITEM-- in cases where govt officials on the public payroll not giving public notice is a violation at the federal level of the 1946 Administrative Procedure Act, which requires notice in the Federal Register. Laws demand that taxpayers have the opportunity to submit views in writing.
===============================================
If proof is established that RICOed criminal public officials impaired the region's commercial and economic activity, that could also be prosecutable under the Hobbs Act.
Oberlein College is the reason we must never surrender our guns.
The day is quickly coming where the only defense against people lke them is to kill them. The legal aystem is rapidly decling. The judgement will be appealed ad infinitum and never paid.
I recall a statement by the police. Statistics over the years show Oberlin to be a nest of shoplifters. The thugs that got caught shoplifting Gibson’s had snatched a $100 bottle of wine.
