So, as a nation of laws, we should not allow the government to enforce those laws?
We should. I figure the left will goad one more useful idiot, maybe two into getting killed and that will break it.
If we fail to enforce our laws in Minnesota, we lose. Right now all the street harpies of the Left are gathered there. Funds have changed hands, tickets have been bought, vehicles moved, U-hauls rented, etc. There has to be a ton of traceable transactions that point to the funding sources. Freeze those funds. Investigate. Arrest the rioters, document them like an encyclopedia of street trouble and start cross referencing them by facial recognition from riot to riot.
Convictions are unlikely in MN, but the database of everything from fingerprints, facial recognition, and DNA will be useful. Establish the pattern, break into their networks, use every tool in the box to figure out who these people are and take them down whoever they are. Track their funds and freeze them. Yes, the left will howl and wail incessantly--lie, too. But this is not optional, it has to be done.
This is an insurrection.
