Federal law (18 U.S. Code § 2101) makes it a crime to travel or to use interstate communications (which includes social media)
(1) to incite a riot; or,
(2) to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot; or,
(3) to commit any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or,
(4) to aid or abet any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot.
The law also mandates speedy action by the Attorney General and Department of Justice. The statute directs that “the Department shall proceed as speedily as possible with a prosecution of such person(s).”
That's a joke, right?
You think there will be any action, hardly.
So what does make Sharpton and Holder? Obviously, they are violating this law. I’m not holding my breath to see them prosecuted for it.
“The law also mandates speedy action by the Attorney General and Department of Justice. “
Yea, Holder will get right on it./sarc
