They aren’t right. They aren’t left. They aren’t white supremacists. They aren’t left wing nut jobs. They aren’t fascists. They aren’t protesters. They aren’t peaceably assembling, and thus aren’t protected by the First Amendment.
THEY ARE CRIMINALS and deserve to be treated as such.
These CRIMINALS hijacked a situation that was poised to bring everyone together, foster a serious conversation about government – citizen relations. These CRIMINALS hijacked it for the tear down of society as a whole.
Protest peacefully during the day, but it’s time to clear the streets after 7PM. The Constitution does not give people the right to riot.
Governments are instituted among men for the protection of the whole. If these states, even with National Guard, cannot control rioters, cannot enforce their own laws, cannot protect people or private property or public property from damage, it’s time to invoke the Insurrection Act as was done in 1992 during the LA riots.
So you don’t have to look it up: 10 USC 333
Sec. 333. Interference with State and Federal law
The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it–(1) so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or
(2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.
In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.
