The Oath Keepers, a far-right anti-government militia group, has reportedly become a major focus in the FBI’s probe into the deadly storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6.
As others have pointed out, the difference in the way these cases and those concerning persons considered to be involved with ‘Islamic terrorism’ are handled is striking. Just think how a group of ISIL members or sympathizers who took the same actions would be treated. They would all be at least incarcerated and perhaps even the majority on their way to Guantanamo Bay.
WASHINGTON - The January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has pumped new life into a long-running discussion among government policy makers over whether the U.S. needs a new domestic terrorism law.
The debate stems from what many see as a yawning gap in the existing law: the absence of a standalone statute that criminalizes domestic terrorism.
While U.S. law makes it a crime to provide “material support” to a foreign terrorist organization, there is no comparable law that makes domestic terrorism a federal crime, even though individual acts committed by domestic terrorists may be illegal.
Seconded. Roger Stone…and everybody’s favorite foreign asset Michael Flynn organized the riot far in advance and had a meeting the night before (January 5th) to go over final details.
And add Alex Jones to the mix. That terrorist needs to be in jail.
Oath Keepers consist of a lot of ex law enforcement officers and ex military. Still, guilty as they may be, you know Stone was involved with them, but Stone or others won’t be charged. I’m guessing the ones charged will get a lot of legal help/donations from anonymous sources.
OT: I am late with this one. Last night, the system refused to upload on three devices, but finally this morning, it worked.
This little man is named AJ. AJ is the new brother, for those following the farm, of our beloved Aerie Jane, who passed in September with aspiration pneumonia due to her severely cleft palate.
The caretaker for Aerie was present on the YouTube broadcast to witness this birth. She was devastated when Aerie passed and witnessing this helped close the loop for her.
Without Trump, this would not have the dimensions it does. That cannot be overstated.
Without the GOP, this would not have the dimensions it does. That cannot be overstated
I saw an interesting interview last night with O’Donnell talking with Senator Shelden Whitehouse. I urge readers here to look at it and evaluate. It makes sense.
