    This is why ANTIFA continues to destroy America. No Consequences.

    Now over half of nearly 100 cases against federally charged Portland rioters are being dismissed — and only one perp is heading to prison so far

    that's because Antifa being a threat is a fox news/con fantasy and the judicial system rules accordingly.

    A proposed law focused on ANTIFA as well as right-wing loonies

    For a long time I stated that rioters should be charged as felons. Now they are moving forward with this in N.C. Long overdue.


    Top NC lawmaker seeks tougher punishment for people in riots

    Republican legislative leaders are backing a bill to make rioting a felony if it causes significant property damage or someone is injured or dies.

    House Bill 805 is sponsored by House Speaker

    Tim Moore, who doesn’t usually file bills. Moore, R-Cleveland, told members of the House Judiciary 4 committee on Thursday about watching from his downtown balcony as crowds rioted in the wake of George Floyd's death in police custody in Minnesota.

    Windows were smashed, a store was set on fire and pieces of a Confederate monument were pulled down outside the State Capitol.

    Under Moore's bill, those who commit such acts would face felony charges and, potentially, a couple of years in prison.

    "We are a nation of laws, not a nation of mob rule," he said. "Regardless of the political spectrum one comes from, we all have to be able to say that's not right. That's not the way folks should conduct themselves."

    "Whether it's left whether it's right, whether it's destroying a downtown or whether it's just – whether it's going in and barging on into the U.S. Capitol and taking over – this the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate floors – those things are not appropriate in a civilized society," he continued.

    Daniel Bowes, director of policy and advocacy for the state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, called the proposal "unreasonably harsh" and said it would discourage people from engaging in legitimate protests.

    "Our state’s riot laws are vague and already punish individuals for the destructive acts of others. This bill would increase these harsh criminal penalties and put North Carolinians at risk of facing felony charges and prison sentences for participating in protests," Bowes said in a statement. "If this proposal becomes law, it will certainly have a disparate impact on Black and brown community members who are calling for racial justice."

    Moore said the bill is intended to target only people who are willfully rioting or inciting people to riot. But ACLU officials said that's a subjective decision of law enforcement at the scene, adding that people of color often don't fare well in such cases.

    The bill, which is similar to anti-protest bills passed in other states, also would allow property owners to sue rioters for damages.

    It will likely go before the full House next week.
