What is an insurrection?

Defying federal law?
Openly, intentionally and violently attacking members of federal law enforcement?
Fighting against National Guard troops?

C'mon man. Don't words mean stuff?

If one of them gets injured, killed, or if their equipment is firebombed, torn apart, whatever, that's now a federal issue, not in the "state's" jurisdiction.

So od, round up and arrest those couple dozen or so violent troublemakers. Throw the entire book at them. Lock 'em away for years if you want. But we sure as hell don't need the freaking military marching illegally in the streets for five or six burned cars.

It's only a riot, after all. As I said, L.A. has seen far worse. And the peaceful protesters outnumber the few anarchist assholes about 200:1.

"marching illegally"

I wish I could even audit one of your Ivy League law school classes. It'd be a dream come true!

Yes, so why are we talking about J6 now? 🤔

Legal Definitions:

• Insurrection: Defined under 18 U.S.C. § 2383, insurrection refers to any act of rising against the authority of the state or its laws. Legally, it’s the violent uprising against governmental authority. This includes taking up arms or otherwise actively opposing the government’s power and lawful authority.
(What is happening in LA probably qualifies as an insurrection)

• Rebellion: Often used interchangeably with insurrection, rebellion has a similar connotation. It typically refers to a more organized and sustained effort to overthrow or seriously destabilize government authority.
(What happened on January 6th probably qualifies as a rebellion)

Bang on, Curt. It flabbergasts how will lightheartedly Dems and the left sacrifice the moral high ground.

I'm absolutely flabbergasted!

I am curious about pb's "Ivy League law classes." Do they teach a different version of the law than other universities?
