LOS ANGELES RIOT ...OR ANY RIOT...WHAT TO DO ....
by J. Gary DiLaura
“Does the Constitution allow for the President to declare by law or Proclamation an emergency to deploy Federal means to react, restore law and order to protect and preserve US property as well as life liberty and the pursuit of happiness?”
I’ve known the answer to this question since I started walking and talking...YES...YES...AND YES!
So instead of looking to Title 18 USC or Bill of Rights, or the Constitution ...I looked to what most Democraps do and asked “Google” ...
AI Overview
The President of the United States can declare a national emergency, which allows for the use of various federal resources to address the situation. The legal basis for this is found in the National Emergencies Act (NEA), enacted by Congress in 1976. The NEA grants the President the authority to declare a national emergency and exercise special powers provided by Congress.
Here's how it relates to your question:
- Declaring an Emergency: The President can declare a national emergency by proclamation, which is transmitted to Congress and published in the Federal Register.
- Deploying Federal Resources: Upon declaring an emergency, the President gains access to over 120 statutory provisions that allow for the deployment of federal resources, including the possibility of deploying troops, to respond to the situation.
- Protecting US Property and Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness: While the Constitution doesn't explicitly grant the President these broad emergency powers, many scholars believe the Framers intended for the Executive Branch to act quickly in emergencies. The NEA and other statutes, however, delegate these powers to the President. These powers can be used to address emergencies that threaten national security, public safety, or critical infrastructure.
This is the AI overview and the law says...this is what I would do, ALL of which is lawful...
My opinion on restoring order QUICK...after declaring by proclamation the necessary temporary laws/restrictions...I would first set a curfew “no unnecessary travel" and specifically attending a RIOT is UNNECESSARY travel. Next... anyone wearing face covers will be assumed to be guilty of conspiring to riot and terrorism and arrested.
Next and this is important...deadly force. The use of DEADLY force will be used to protect life and property, since destruction of property involves violence by some deadly uses of fire, rocks, clubs, etc. Law enforcement will enforce deadly force when its use is necessary to prevent a violent, named action such as throwing rocks, bricks, clubs, at vehicles, businesses, residences, persons, and will be shot. Any person who carries a weapon and is believed to be preparing to use that weapon including guns, clubs, knives, rocks debris will be stopped by deadly force.
ALL illegal actions that are enforced, will be assumed to be committing a terrorist act and charged as such. Remaining on a site that law enforcement has ordered closed is a terrorist act during a declared RIOT. If any individual poses a threat to the safety of the public or law enforcement officers, the use of deadly force is authorized.
By proclamation ...those who are attending what has become "the riot" and do not withdraw and remove themselves from the riot, then they are a riot participant. After due vocal notice by law enforcement that, "this is a riot/act of terror and you are ordered to withdraw, and disperse peacefully", and refuse and stay with the riot ...will be considered participants who intentional refuse to obey the lawful order to cease and desist. Should the participant who refuses to withdraw peacefully, and is injured in any way, will be considered, self- inflicted "COLLATERAL DAMAGE". Standing next to a riot participant who is throwing rocks, firebombs, fireworks or anything that can injure/kill, at anyone or anything, and is injured or killed... will be considered self-inflicted, collateral damage and they will have no standing for judicial recourse in any jurisdiction in these United States of America...that they are trying to destroy.
