Antifa Members Flying Around the Country to Engage in Rioting: Barr
theepochtimes.com ^ | 9/3/2020 | ZACHARY STIEBER

Members of the extremist Antifa network are flying around the country and participating in riots, Attorney General William Barr said in a new interview.

“I’ve talked to every police chief in every city where there has been major violence and they all have identified Antifa as the ramrod for the violence,” Barr said in an appearance this week on CNN’s “Situation Room.” “They are flying around the country. We know people who are flying around the country. We know where they’re going.”

“We see some of the purchases they are making before the riots of weapons to use in those riots,” he added. “So, we are following them.”

Crossing state lines to engage in rioting is illegal and a federal offense, the attorney general said.

Riots exploded in various American cities in late May, following the police custody death of George Floyd in Minnesota.

Some of those arrested during unrest self-identify as members of the network, Barr noted, while others refuse to provide their identity. Antifa members have been arrested or identified as suspects in Washington, Portland, and Green Bay, Wisconsin, among other cities.

“I think it’s worrisome that people from out of town are coming here obviously without the intent to peacefully protest, but obviously with the intent to commit criminal acts,” Green Bay Police Chief Andrew Smith told The Epoch Times.

The Department of Justice, which Barr heads, is probing the heads of organizations behind the rioting, acting Homeland Security chief Chad Wolf said this week.

I could see a simple law drafted...once detained for out-of-state riot participation...six-months on the no-fly list. But this crowd would simply go and use fake IDs to by-pass this, or just go to using Amtrak.

All of this proves one point...there are professional hard-care protest participants (Antifa members), and they need to be treated as ‘gang-members’. Rico-Act ought to fall into place for anyone sponsoring them or paying for airline tickets or hotel costs.

That's already known.

Has anybody confronted Creepy Uncle Joe and Cameltoe in public with it?

“Why not put them on no fly lists for 90 days when they are identified?”

That sounds like a good idea, but I imagine the black-shirt lawyers would would challenge it based on them not having put on trial or even arrested.

I would also think there is potential value is seeing where they are going and who they are talk to, where are they staying, how do the travel in the cities the relocate to. (I’d not be surprised if their cellphones are traced/tapped)

Generally you have a hard time paying for a flight for someone else. So they are probably using their credit card and being reimbursed. If they run up a $3000.00 s month Visa bill with no declarable income the IRS might have a few questions.

It is all about getting ducks in a row

If someone else is controlling the URL redirect, there is precious little they can do about it, anyway.

Be hilarious if it was someone on the right.

Yes, but we have to do it in a way that won’t get used against conservatives later.

Some funding sources are identified here:

All of them need to have their assets seized and their Board of Directors indicted for aiding and abetting domestic terrorism and insurrection.

Well if you know all this, where are the arrests?

Thank you. Now I don’t have to say it. Like Ed Lauter said in Death wish 3, gentleman, the streets are full of degenerates, killing each other. Arrest them.

Won’t stop until the financiers of Antifa are arrested, imprisoned or rendered inoperative.

And, there's the rub. It's like, the crimigrants flooding across our borders. It won't stop until we shutter and prosecute the businesses that employ them. And, that will never happen.

When this all first started, 2 busloads rolled into Fallon, NV. Sheriff ID’d & did mug shots on every one of them. THEY ALL WERE FROM NEW YORK....

A very long way from New York to Fallon, NV

Mr. Barr, has your FBI designated Antifa as domestic terrorist yet or are they still looking for a right wing connection to blame? The same question for BLM, Mr. Barr what are you waiting on?

And just like that, the democrat funded riots stop.
Who would have thought?

This indeed is a big story. I’m thinking dominoes will soon fall, and they are all going to be falling up the ladder. Antifa is not a loosely knit group, it’s incredibly complex, well organized, funded. It’s a violent criminal organization.
