The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly referred to as the RICO Act or simply RICO, is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.
The RICO Act focuses specifically on racketeering and allows the leaders of a syndicate to be tried for the crimes they ordered others to do or assisted them in doing, closing a perceived loophole that allowed a person who instructed someone else to, for example, murder, to be exempt from the trial because they did not actually commit the crime personally.
RICO predicate offenses that likely apply to Antifa. A Pattern of racketeering activity requires at least two acts of racketeering activity:
Any violation of state statutes against Arson.
Any violation of federal statutes against theft, obstruction of justice, or extortion. Acts of terrorism.
Oh well, time for another Kent State...on steroids this time.
