vandalized. Protesters were arrested for vandalism and the judge usually made them pay restitution. They weren't charged with racketeering. Applying racketeering laws to these protesters is very Nazi to me. When Communists and Socialists marched in the streets of Germany, they were stopped, sometimes shot on the spot or thrown into concentration camps and tortured and then executed. Their crime was disagreeing with the Nazis. Yes, sometimes windows were broken and vandalism occurred. Often shots were fired from both sides, but only the Nazis turned it into a crime punishable with imprisonment and often torture and death. This is a slippery slope and anyone who thinks it's okay in America are probably the same people who thought torturing Muslims was necessary for information.

I guess I'm a little jaded about threats. I used to be a bartender and got threats on a daily basis from some low life I had to cut off of his swill. It was mostly hot air.
