Awesome Article by My Friend Dave Hardy

10/9/25 Washington Times examines how Anti-Ku Klux Klan Act (1871) can be used to sue not only active rioters who injure law enforcement officers but any entity or person who "Lawsuits may be brought anywhere a conspirator made an “overt act,” even a lawful one, to aid the conspiracy. Anywhere, as in “flyover country.”"
"This provision has massive implications in the electronic age, when chat groups and email lists are used to organize everything from riots to weddings. The effects of email trails and electronic rosters on proving who was “in the know” are staggering. So are the damages involved. The Black Lives Matter riots in Minneapolis inflicted half a billion dollars of damage. The recent Los Angeles riots may reach the same level. Every person who knew what was afoot and kept his or her mouth shut is liable for all that."
Also, private parties may sue on behalf of the U.S. Government for misappropriation of funds under the False Claims Act and receive a percentage of the stolen funds.  Attorneys with a willingness to pursue the billions stolen through U.S. AID could become multimillionaires.

Worth reading in full, especially if you are an attorney.
