RICO Done Right

There have been plenty of examples lately of the left weaponizing law enforcement to criminalize politics. 

Whether it’s targeting conservative churches, parents at school board meetings, harassing grandmothers in the Capitol Building (here and here), persecuting pro-life activists or abusing state RICO laws, the totalitarian left is more than willing to corrupt the legal system in order to achieve its desired political results. It’s outrageous and wrong.

So, I am pleased to report that Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is showing how the state’s RICO laws should be applied. 

He’s charged 61 left-wing activists, including many members of Antifa, with racketeering and domestic terrorism charges related to an ongoing campaign of violence and intimidation designed to prevent the construction of a new police training facility in Atlanta.

That’s exactly what RICO laws were meant to do – to crack down on organized crime. They were never intended to silence speech and punish people for questioning election results.

And I’m pleased to see an elected official FINALLY applying RICO laws to Antifa’s outrageous illegal activities!
