Trump authorizes feds to arrest people vandalizing, taking down monuments: Order effective immediately, but may also be used retroactively

Via Cousin John


President Trump has ordered a crackdown on anyone caught vandalizing or tearing down monuments amid a wave of confederate and other statues being toppled by people protesting racial injustice.

The commander-in-chief wrote in a tweet early Tuesday morning, “I have authorized the Federal Government to arrest anyone who vandalizes or destroys any monument, statue or other such Federal property in the U.S. with up to 10 years in prison, per the Veteran’s Memorial Preservation Act, or such other laws that may be pertinent.”

    You would think vandalism and destruction of property not ones own is already against the law.

      Not according to our illogical 'citizens'. Rioters used to be shot on sight.
