[LegalInsurrection] Pallets of bricks are appearing in the riot zones, and there are reports of professional agitators, including antifa, showing up in cities across the nation.

BREAKING: tonight’s Dallas riot was pre-planned

Organizers were directing the crowd where to go
They had pallets of 100 bricks ready for rioters
They were yelling to the crowd "go left, there are 100 bricks on the corner over there"
This wasn’t random chaos

#1 Ex-Boston police chief claims 'group outside the US' using George Floyd protests to 'destabilize our society'

"When I was in Ferguson for [the Justice Department] or with the Obama administration after the [Michael] Brown shooting, we saw that there were terrorist groups, organizations in Pakistan and elsewhere who were setting up false Twitter accounts and setting, having... two sides with conversation, basically alienate each other going forward,"

#2 Bet on it.

What are the odds that a local incident like this involving one nobody would trigger simultaneous, almost identical, violent action in dozens of US cities?

Many of these cities have no recorded police shootings of unarmed black men whatsoever. Dallas doesn't have bad relations between police and the black population. San Jose doesn't even have many black people at all.

Why would anyone in a city that has no history of unrest suddenly have not protests but mass violent action?

This could only be the result of pre-existing organization, coordinated across state lines.

Fits the Anti-Riot Act (18 US Code Section 2101) definition of "inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot."

Let's see whether we still have a functioning FBI.

#3 ^^ A functioning FBI? Well, of course it's functioning. There are elements within it that are enabling this activity.

#4 Declare Antifa a terrorist organization. Do it now. Even if it requires an Executive Order.

#5 an EO declaring Antifa a domestic terrorist org has been considered

the problem with this is that providing aid to domestic terror groups is not a crime (although providing aid to foreign terror groups is a crime, hence criminal penalties for people who seek to aid ISIS)

this requires competent legislation which is a problem because the House of Rep

#7 /\ Agree, a bit too late. Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon was on Fox this morning saying that "if the rioters had jobs they wouldn't have time to be rioting." (paraphrase)

Little foking wonder he's a "former" strategist.

#8 Strange comment from Bannon. I thought he was smarter than that.

#9 The problem with that Garth is that a D president would use it to shut down the NRA, Heritage Foundation and maybe even the RNC. Just have to have a trigger and the media hyping up the White Supremist angle...

#10 Actually there's a smidgen of truth behind his (clumsily-expressed, soundbite-ish) notion.

Take a population of emotionally-unstable, high-strung urban 20- and 30-somethings who have little to do, lock them inside for two months, give them social media accounts where they can wallow in Twitter-slime for 14 hours a day, and of course you'll get festivities as soon as there's a pretext + nice weather.

#11 Antifa members are more likely to have mental / emotional problems than to have strong ideological beliefs.

#14 Mercutio, while you are philosophically correct that these are the actions of a terrorist network, I moved your article to cluster with the rest of the articles on the subject. Fred has now weighed in on the subject, and for the duration all articles on the Antifa insurgency are to be filed Page 1: War on Terror, Lurid Crime Tales. This may change again, depending on who is discovered to be behind and involved.

#15 one of the good things about a legislative action is that it gets Congress on record - it would be interesting to see how many Democrats would vote to prevent an Antifa designation

another is that it can limit designation to specified criteria so it is more difficult for progressives to misuse it

#21 Follow the money.

FYI, there are reports of the discovery or pre-positioned caches of oil and gasoline filled bottles, cloth strips, and lighters that "rioters" are being directed to, near specific target buildings.

This is a guerilla war. All enemies Foreign and Domestic. Time to start attacking ANTIFA head on, go after their funding, go after their cyber infrastructure, and go after the individuals with long jail sentences for the foot soldiers, and Treason with Execution for the leaders.

Arm the local black citizens and let them form their own 2nd Amendment self-defense militia against these goons. Hell, deputize them in some areas where the police cannot operate easily.

Its time. Start bleeding Antifa to death, figuratively and literally.
