RIOTERS: Put them down

Enough is enough! The rioters and demonstrators who are damaging property should be dealt with harshly by law enforcement. They should be subject to being shot with non-lethal rubber bullets and/or CS Gas. Wearing balaclavas and facial masks to hide identity should be illegal and arrestable offense.

Financial backers from individuals to organizations should be arrested for felony conspiracy to commit violence and property damage. Any citizen found committing these offenses should be imprisoned. If the rioters are crossing state lines they should face federal charges. Illegal immigrants and naturalized citizens caught rioting should have their citizenship revoked and be deported after serving their sentence.

Over and over the police have sat back and done nothing to control the mobs or provide citizen safety. If these officers are following orders to do nothing, they and their superiors should be terminated immediately. Muslim immigrants should be required to assimilate and adhere to our laws or be deported.
