RICO charges against antifa?

Giuliani used RICO to go after the NY mafia.

The way Barr was talking about intercepting coordination communications makes it seem possible. Dunno at all though what kindve approach applies or would be most effective. It’s domestic terrorism that’s for sure and if these communities are as about justice as they claim they should be mad they were used as cover for it.

Tell us what the requisite elements are

A more expansive view holds that in order to be found guilty of violating the RICO statute, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) that an enterprise existed; (2) that the enterprise affected interstate commerce; (3) that the defendant was associated with or employed by the enterprise; (4) that the defendant engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity; and (5) that the defendant conducted or participated in the conduct of the enterprise through that pattern of racketeering activity through the commission of at least two acts of racketeering activity as set forth in the indictment. United States v. Phillips, 664 F. 2d 971, 1011 (5th Cir. Unit B Dec. 1981), cert. denied, 457 U.S. 1136, 102 S. Ct. 1265, 73 L. Ed. 2d 1354 (1982).

Dominique Wilkins never had a slam dunk so easy.

any reason for you to ask stupid, easy to look up questions?

Lotta buzzwords in there for the lawyers to wrangle over. Link me to the last criminal RICO conviction of any significance

Boosie, it doesn't matter if nobody has ever been convicted of it. The question is, do the statutes exist and are these people engaging in said behavior? I don't know because I'm not a lawyer. Supposedly you are though, so maybe you would be better able to answer the second part of that question rather engaging in whatever appeal that is you just made.

BoarEd, it’s incredibly hard to pull a RICO case together and it’s become somewhat of a laughable buzzword.

Even the article linked notes how rare and challenging it is. Maybe it exists here, maybe it doesn’t. But it sounds ominous and has become the go-to for certain segments of internet tough guys

But excuse me for yawning at yet another suggestion this is all a planned and organized plot against at our president and his movement

Government is already infiltrated

Lay it out for us then

1. The enterprise -- The "association in fact" comprised of the individuals organizing to create this mayhem.

2. Affecting interstate commerce -- if this has, in fact, been part of a coordinated effort to import individuals from out-of-state to cause the mayhem.

3. The predicate acts -- Arson, obstruction of state or local law enforcement, just for starters.

4. The "pattern" -- There seems no dispute the requisite number and proximity exist.
