Enough is enough, prosecute looters

Pilot VA Beach damage

These things continue to happen because after they are over, there are no consequences for most of the participants. That has to end.

Fortunately, since everyone records their crimes on cellphones, that should be workable. Confiscate the cell phones of every looter and rioter arrested, and let the police, or private sector workers hired for the task, identify as many of the participants as possible, and prosecute every single one for felonies.

Even if they are released on probation, they will  have a felony conviction and be unable to legally purchase firearms or vote.

Mob violence will not stop until there are consequences for participating.

Historical Implications

Okay, I need some help from some smart lawyer types; even you internet paralegals might assist.

We know Trump likes to invoke and undo, specifically using his EOs to reverse his predecessors’ efforts.

Now we’re facing his ordering the military into the States to dominate dissent and protest (Where have I heard that before?) — even in the States that make no request for such Federal military assistance.  Just gonna send in the troops and take over.

But my real question, and one of y’all might know the answer, is this:

“When he signs the EO overturning emancipation, will I get a 1-for-1 restoration of my great-great-grandfather’s slaves, or will the entire lineage fall under ownership?”  I mean, after all, this could be a serious chattels issue akin to mustang herd ownership.
