This is not a protest, it's a coordinated nationwide campaign of vandalism. The First Amendment says "right to *peaceably* assemble and petition. This is not a peaceable action. The Riot Act 10 U.S.C. §§ 331-35 should be read, and then if the Shiite doesn't stop, heads should be cracked, and leaders, local and national should be arrested and hauled off to the Supermax.

There is this section of the Riot Act: § 335. Guam and Virgin Islands included as “State”

What the individuals that were there witnessed was an attack by an organized group on the United States of America. It was no different than when John Brown attacked the arnsel at Harper’s Ferry.
If, we hadIndividuals of the same caliber that were governing us today as we had then they would be dealt with in the same manner.
