I think that is most correctly called a "truism."I declare San Francisco a domestic shithole city.
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City and County of San Francisco should take every reasonable step to assess the financial and contractual relationships our vendors and contractors have with this domestic terrorist organization; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City and County of San Francisco should take every reasonable step to limit those entities who do business with the City and County of San Francisco from doing business with this domestic terrorist organization; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City and County of San Francisco should encourage all other jurisdictions, including other cities, states, and the federal government, to adopt similar positions.
I think it does, but not what they think.I mean, are they going to start arresting members then? How does this bullshit even work? Does it carry legal weight?
Well not to go off on a tangent but, criminal street gangs generally dont fit the criteria for being "domestic terrorists" since they have no ideological motivation, really.
Antifa? The KKK and their ilk? Sure do. What other ideological -*organized*- groups are out there who use violence as a means to influence public opinion and policy?
I think it does, but not what they think.
I think the NRA should sue the crap out of them for slander and libel.
The resolution is a largely symbolic one. It calls for the city and county to "take every reasonable step to limit" San Francisco's "financial and contractual relationships" with vendors who do business with the NRA. But the resolution does not, for example, carry the law enforcement implications of designation as a foreign terrorist organization.
Despite the rise in cases that law enforcement describes as domestic terror-related, there is no federal charge for "domestic terrorism." The US doesn't have a domestic terrorism law and no government agency designates domestic groups as being terrorist organizations. That means many cases the FBI calls domestic terror-related end up with a variety of charges for violations of laws related to guns or even other state charges.
