Citation for this post: 18 U.S. Code § 2384 – Seditious conspiracy
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to do any of the following. (I have separated each legal item for easy reading.)
- to overthrow the government.
- put down the government of the United States.
- destroy by force the Government of the United States,
- levy war against the Untied States.
- oppose by force the authority thereof.
- by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States.
- by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof.
“They shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.”
What particular item listed within the legal code did the rioters violate? It appears three items:
- oppose by force the authority thereof.
- by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States.
- by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof.
The US Government has taken legal action against some participants of the riot.
