Vigilantism-- at least in America, in the 19th and 20th centuries-- almost always grew from an environment where "formal" justice systems were either absent or powerless. Otherwise law-abiding citizens simply got tired of being victimized.

Just sayin'.

I didn’t see anything officer.

From what I've experienced, your regular average black American doesn't care for blm and their agenda because they see it for what it is. It's the woke & angry for no reason blacks and white liberals who back that terrorist group. Your regular black person who just wants to go to work and support their family isn't paying attention to them.

remember Alexander Jay? He threw a woman down a flight of stairs

Washington to pay Seattle alleged criminal $250 each day he doesn’t get mental health treatment

Taxpayers in Washington state will have to pay $250 to a homeless man accused of pushing a 62-year-old woman down the stairs of a light rail station in Seattle for each day he doesn’t get mental health treatment, according to local reports.

Alexander Jay, 40, was arrested on March 3, a day after the attack at the Chinatown-International District light rail station at 5th Avenue South and South Jackson Street, Fox News Digital previously reported.

Jay was also accused of stabbing a woman 10 times at a bus stop that same day, FOX13 Seattle reported.

He went on trial in April, but a judge deemed him incompetent and ordered him to spend three months at an inpatient facility, according to the report.

After more than 100 days without being admitted, King County Superior Court Judge Johanna Bender found the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) in contempt of court for failing to get Jay treatment, KING5-TV reported.

Bender also ordered the state to pay $250 per day, which began accruing on May 9, until Jay gets admitted for treatment, the reports said.

Jay is currently being held in jail, a violation of his due process rights, due to the severity of the charges.

DSHS told FOX13 that the earliest Jay may get into treatment was mid-August – which could result in taxpayers paying more than $17,000 to Jay.

Jay has nearly two dozen prior convictions in Washington dating back to 2000, according to prosecutors.

There is no justice.

More insane every day!

Eh, you never know - he's now got a $90,000 a year income and no accountant, and Uncah Ho and the Congressional Dems have been pushing as much funding as they can to the IRS.

San Diego grand jury indicts 11 Antifa supporters with 29 felonies

The original incident that prompted this happened in January 2021. The Times of San Diego reported a group of Trump supporters were confronted by counter-protesters and the situation turned ugly.

About 100 Trump supporters and 100 counter-protesters clashed at the intersection of Mission Boulevard and Hornblend Street until a growing size of police officers on foot and on bikes arrived to separate them.

After incidents of violence were directed at officers, the police department declared the demonstration an unlawful assembly, about 2:30 p.m.

This is apparently the first time prosecutors have gone after an antifa group with conspiracy charges:

A San Diego grand jury has indicted 11 alleged members of an anti-fascist group in connection with several assaults that occurred in January 2021 during a Pacific Beach “Patriot March” organized by supporters of then-President Donald Trump.

The indictment does not appear to add any charges beyond what the defendants faced when they were initially charged in December in San Diego Superior Court. But those initial charges were dropped Tuesday in favor of the indictment, which the county District Attorney’s Office said was handed down after the grand jury heard 13 days of testimony last month.

The defendants were indicted on 29 felony counts, including conspiracy to commit the crime of riot. Experts who study domestic extremism believe the case to be the first time nationwide that prosecutors have used a conspiracy charge specifically to prosecute alleged anti-fascists, or “antifa supporters,” as prosecutors described them.

The indictment alleges that the defendants “are all affiliated with Antifa” and used “force, fear, and violence to further their interests and suppress the interests of others.” It continues, “The objective of this conspiracy was to incite and participate in a riot.”

Though video footage that proliferated on social media around the time of the riot captured violence also committed by members of the pro-Trump crowd, the D.A.’s Office said in a statement issued last year that “video evidence analysis shows that overwhelmingly the violence in this incident was perpetrated by the Antifa affiliates and was not a mutual fray with both sides crossing out of lawful First Amendment expression into riot and violence.”

A good start. Hope I am not disappointed by the ending.

Well, now, that's interesting. They just busted a bunch of guys who are from that same group that broke the internutz a while back with their matching baby blue tops, pressed khaki slacks and plexiglas riot shields. Those guys were charged with "conspiracy to commit riot" too, and every lawyer in the media said that they'd never heard of that charge being made before.

It almost sounds as if the DOJ made a conscious decision to take the charge out and give it a couple of trial runs, just to see how it'd do.

We had a little pre-emptive here over the weekend.
Same charge-conspiracy to riot.

https://cdapress.com/news/2022...erail-rioters-plans/

In CA, here's the definition of the crime (Penal Code violation) of Conspiracy. As a LEO I charged many suspects with the violation when the crimes planned were completed or attempted acts of violence or even theft related (such as vehicle theft). Usually, these charges were filed against members of criminal street gangs that committed "overt acts", not necessarily amounting to an "attempt" or completion of the intended crime. Example: Four guys conspire to commit an act of vehicle theft. They get into a car driven by Suspect "A" and are driven to the area where they intend to commit the crime, 20 miles away. Suspect "B" brings his flashlight, Suspect "C" brings his slim jim (to facilitate entry into a locked vehicle), Suspect "D" brings a slide or screwdriver (to facilitate defeating the ignition lock so as to start the vehicle). The four suspects are stopped for a traffic violation(s) by uniformed cops, separated when the officers see some of the evidence of the vehicle theft activity and one or more of the suspects admits their plans.


182. (a) If two or more persons conspire:

(1) To commit any crime.

(2) Falsely and maliciously to indict another for any crime, or to procure another to be charged or arrested for any crime.

(3) Falsely to move or maintain any suit, action, or proceeding.

(4) To cheat and defraud any person of any property, by any means which are in themselves criminal, or to obtain money or property by false pretenses or by false promises with fraudulent intent not to perform those promises.

(5) To commit any act injurious to the public health, to public morals, or to pervert or obstruct justice, or the due administration of the laws.

(6) To commit any crime against the person of the President or Vice President of the United States, the Governor of any state or territory, any United States justice or judge, or the secretary of any of the executive departments of the United States.

They are telegraphing what their game plan is for the next couple of years. Accuse your opponent of doing exactly the same thing that you are going to do, so that your actions appear to be a “justified response”. BULLSHIT!!!!!

Squad member Rep. Bowman predicts CIVIL WAR if GOP dominates midterms

New York Democrat Rep. Bowman warned that the lives of 'black and brown people' are 'in the balance if these people come back into power,' in reference to the Republican minority in Congress.

The progressive Democratic lawmaker made the prediction on MSNBC

He warned that the lives of 'black and brown people' are 'in the balance' if Republicans 'come back into power' after the November midterm elections

'They would impeach President Biden as quickly as possible and they will continue to find ways to impeach him going forward,' Bowman also said

It comes two weeks after a recent survey shows more than half of Republican voters believe the US is headed toward civil war, compared to 39% of Democrats

Democrats are fighting an uphill battle to keep their razor-thing majority

Real Clear Investigations: The order beneath the chaos in San Francisco

Real Clear Investigations has a good story today about the Tenderloin district in San Francisco and why it is such a chaotic mess. While tourists visiting the city might see sidewalks full of homeless people, drug dealers on every corner and shoplifting, all of this is in fact a fairly well-organized black market.

Crowded onto its street corners and inside the tents congesting the sidewalk, countless petty criminals play their roles in a structured and symbiotic criminal enterprise.

Its denizens fall into four main groups: the boosters, typically homeless and addicted, who steal from local stores;
the street fences who buy the stolen merchandise;
the dealers who sell them drugs for the money they make from the fences; and,
at the top of the stack, the drug cartel that supplies the dealers and the wholesale fences that resell the goods acquired by street fences

RCI reports the drug dealers are often young men, frequently of Honduran descent (They are called “Hondos” on the street). They are smuggled into the country and forced to work off their debt to the cartel. But that debt is usually paid off in a matter of weeks. The men continue dealing because they can make $1,000 a day doing it.

Then there are the homeless people who serve as “boosters.” There job is to steal enough retail merchandise to feed their daily habit

Boosting is “basically a job” for addicts, said Lieutenant Kevin Domby of the California Highway Patrol. To fuel their addiction, boosters need to bring in up to $60 daily. Since they usually get a dollar or two per item, no matter the value of whatever they’re stealing, they have to steal as many as 60 items a day…

Like drug use and drug dealing, shoplifting has been effectively decriminalized in San Francisco, and some chains have reduced their presence in the city. California’s Proposition 47, passed in 2014, reduced shoplifting of less than $950 in goods from felonies to misdemeanors. On top of that reduction in severity, Boudin scaled back prosecution of these crimes.

The homeless boosters take the stolen goods to a fence.

The fences at the wholesale level amass $100,000 to $200,000 worth of merchandise each day, which they sell to a “diverter.” The diverter repackages the stolen goods in counterfeit packaging and sells the products online. Nationally, just five diverters dominate the trade in stolen merchandise from the national drug store chains. Those five companies sell more than $20 million in product a year.

Wholesale fences also sell their goods to fences overseas. Consumer electronics are often shipped to Vietnam or China to be sold in black markets there. Luxury accessories are sent to Russia.

Ease up there, Johnny Rambo.

“ Nationally, just five diverters dominate the trade in stolen merchandise”

They throw that out there as fact. If it is, one might assume somebody knows who the five are.

Gosh, one also might wonder why they’re allowed to continue. A suspicious person would think the gov doesn’t want to upset a “functioning system”
