NBC News presidential historian Michael Beschloss took the media

During an Ohio campaign rally over the weekend, Trump predicted a

fell all over themselves trying to make it look as though he was
predicting politically motivated violence and a *literal* bloodbath.

So we have to wait until there's dead bodies in the street and downtown

If your state has this policy maybe you'll appreciate getting pulled
over in your beaten up 40-year-old pickup without a license plate light
because some cop makes the subjective judgement that you look
suspicious.

 If I'm driving around without a license plate light, then there's nothing
subjective about it. I'm violating the law.

You do realize that's a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the

It had nothing to do with the 14th Amendment because it applied to
everyone and all races.

 Ah, so it just repealed enforcement of the traffic code full stop because
"muh racism!"?
 

But your apparent closet racism by assuming it applied to only Blacks
is interesting.

 If I assumed anything it's that the Tennessee law was a carbon copy of a
recent California bill proposed by a black assemblyman from Compton, which
specifically exempts only blacks from being stopped for most traffic
infractions, including speeding for anything short of 25mph over the posted
limit.
 This means if you have some lunatic blasting down a residential street at
50mph, the cops would just have to stand by and watch it happen if the
driver is black.
 The bill would also render any evidence of other crimes discovered during a
traffic stop inadmissible. So if the speeder in the above hypothetical was
racing down the residential street at 60mph and could now be legally
stopped by police, and they discovered a dead murder victim in his back
seat, the body and any other evidence in the car would be inadmissible in
court at his murder trial.
 Again, only for blacks.
 So yeah, when these ridiculous laws and policy efforts spring up all around
the country at roughly the same time, they're usually carbon copies of each
other sent direct from BLM headquarters.
 Mea culpa.

Obviously misdemeanors weren't working.

Making street protests felonies isn't going to work either, if the

It's a felony to enter the Capitol Building in an unauthorized manner

 No, it's a misdemeanor. 18 USC 1751, Restricted Buildings and Grounds. The
same statute I used to lock up White House fence jumpers.
 

and vandalize it and threaten members of Congress, did that work?

 What if the cops held the door open for them. Is that still unauthorized?
