Thinking They Are Clever

The rioters on the left think that they are clever, because they are using fireworks as weapons:

They are just fireworks and not weapons, they claim.

As soon as you use a firework in an antipersonnel role, it becomes an illegal explosive. See the ATF opinion on using them in a 37mm flare launcher. I consider this to be lethal force, and if for some reason I am in the vicinity of someone tossing fireworks into a crowd, I will respond in kind.

As I Have Been Saying for 5 Years

We are seeing an in progress Communist coup of this nation. It is being funded by our own tax dollars, controlled by the Democratic Party, coordinated through the US intelligence agencies, and following the CIA insurgency manual nearly to the letter. Now we see reports from Peter over at Bayou Renaissance Man that there are financial statements linking the Democrat party directly to the riots and rioters. I am working to confirm that report right now. The closest I can find with a quick search is this:

If confirmed, this is evidence that the Democrats are actively engaged in fomenting violent action in order to advance their political cause. This is a criminal act and should be prosecuted. Of course, any action taken against the Democrats will just bring more cries of how Trump is a Fascist dictator who is trying to take over the government. Not only that, but it is apparent that significant portions of the US government have been coopted into the plot. For those reasons, nothing will be done.

The press can’t be relied upon, as they report that the riots are just “people having fun, watching cars burn,” and are not a riot.

The risk of open warfare increases. It’s only a matter of time before someone decides to cry “Havoc,” and release the dogs of war. Be alert, more peaceful protests are being planned all over the nation on Saturday. It’s best to avoid them.

“But, but, but January 6th.” Is the only thing the left has. Eight months of leftists rioting in 2020, followed by a 4 hour riot by the right, and that’s what they focus on. Part of me says “Let’s just do it. I am sick of this posturing,” while another part of me knows just how bad it will be.

Follow The Money

The riots in LA are being sponsored by Socialist groups, the Democrat Party using USAID money, and the Chinese Communist Party. If true, this is a blatant insurrection. If Trump really wants to get his lame duck on, he should put Federal investigators on to exposing this, so he can make the case to declare California and Oregon as being in a state of insurrection.

Any Americans caught accepting or donating money to the cause should then be arrested and charged with insurrection, and that includes the Governor AND Maxine Waters. Wouldn’t having them barred from office under the 14th Amendment be ironic? It’s self executing, after all. Isn’t that what they were saying for years?

Liberal Viewpoint

there are no “illegals.” That’s a word the Republikkkans use to dehumanize and demonize. People who are here without documentation, without legal permission, that’s a civil offense, not a criminal one. Crossing the border outside a checkpoint is misdemeanor trespass. They can claim asylum from anywhere in the U.S and whether you like it or not they have as much right to be here as you MAGAats do. Most of them are workers with families just like you. Once they have been there for over decades, they are protected by the statute of limitations.- Rando Lefty talking points

This ties in with my statement on Due Process. Read the clause again:

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

So lets assume that you are right- illegally entering the country isn’t a crime. OK. What is the penalty? You get sent back to the nation that you came from. That isn’t depriving you of life, liberty, or property, so you aren’t entitled to due process.

If the government DID want to charge you with a crime, the law used would be 8 USC 1325: Improper entry by alien. The law reads:

Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.

In other words, it’s a misdemeanor the first time, a felony each subsequent time.

Saying the word “asylum” isn’t a magic word that gets you a free pass. First, asylum is for fleeing your home country because your life is in danger if you stay. Second, once you have left your home country, the threat is gone, and you are done fleeing. That means you can’t pass through 8 nations on the way to the US in order to claim asylum. That’s not how it works.

Also, sneaking into the country and staying here for a decade in violation of the law doesn’t mean that you can claim asylum after being caught.

The statute of limitations don’t apply in the event of a crime that continues every day. If I were to make an illegal machine gun, but I own it for 20 years, that doesn’t mean ATF can’t charge me with it. That also isn’t how crimes work.

Peaceful Protest Season

The left is lining up to complain that Trump didn’t need to call out the National Guard for what they view as “peaceful protests.” Let’s take a look at some of those protests:

Yeah, that looks peaceful. The press claims that it is “unclear” what caused police to fire crowd control munitions into the “mostly peaceful” crowd of protesters. You have a crowd of foreign nationals, waving foreign flags while they burn and destroy property, all while being supported and shielded by California state and local officials.

“We had individuals shooting commercial-grade fireworks at our officers. That can kill you.” – LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell

Meanwhile, the President of Mexico is threatening to mobilize against the US, if the US institutes a tax on remittances from illegal immigrants to Mexico. This is a foreign invasion, and wars have begun over much less. So-called “sanctuary states” are in a state of rebellion.

It’s Their Culture

Two people were killed when a shooting happened in Las Vegas last night, right in front of the Bellagio Fountains. It appears to have been one Social Media “influencer”, who runs a channel called the Sin City Family Channel:

Got into an altercation with another influencer, pulled a gun and fired shots. One of the victims is reported to be this “influencer”:

If blacks don’t want to be stereotyped, they should stop acting in a stereotypical manner. Contrast that with the behavior of the white guy with his arm around his girl to the left of the screen. As soon as he hears shots, he takes her down to the ground and shields her with his body.

Rumor has it that the fight was caused because the two channels were engaged in reporting each other in an attempt to get the other channel enough strikes to be shut down by Youtube. The day before, the shooter had posted to social media that he was going to track down his rival.

Separate but Equal

A black Texas legislator wants to bring back segregated schools. This would fly in the face of Brown v. Board of education.

I’m betting that she isnt talking about allowing schools for whites only.
