Under what statute?
Was perusing the Stormer forums today and saw someone ask Anglin this same question. Here is the reply:
Explain to me how Barr is to do something here when they can’t even get to illegal alien criminals.
Wow, entitled.
Okay.
Illegal aliens have a whole list of laws protecting them. Violent street gangs do not. No law would have to be altered to round up Antifa, based on the video evidence as well as other evidence that the FBI could gather, and charging them under RICO. Barr could announce that this afternoon.
They wouldn't do that unless they are 100% sure they would get convictions. Maybe there are some doubts about that.
Trump's current strategy is to publicly let the local / state government know he is there to assist. He puts the ball in there court. They don't ask for help. It shows the Dems as the enablers of these riots, that they are sympathetic to them. Their hate from Trump is so much they are willing to let their cities burn instead of ask for that help. Not a bad strategy.
By letting it go on he is taking a risk -- either a calculated risk or one he is oblivious to -- that the riots might achieve their goal: getting some Trump supporter to shoot a black guy.
Even if you look at this situation coldly and only concern yourself with what will win the election, not doing anything seems like a dubious strategy.
