While remembering what is a crime or the definition of a crime (elements) is in one state might have no bearing in another state…. Criminal Mischief is or was called vandalism in some states. A few other crimes have older terms that have been modernized. For example in Texas (and probably most states) the term rape doesn’t exist but sexual assault or sexual abuse, contact, indecency, etc. does. It is because it is now seen as a felony assault and not just a sex crime. Disorderly Conduct is in some states or in common usage is called disturbing the peace. In another example in Texas law, what is now called Disorderly Conduct-Fighting, used to be called Afray So there are very few actual new crimes but there are sometimes a change in title or other wording. Very rare is a new chapter in Texas laws but this year an entire new chapter in the Penal Code was created called Terrorism There is no such crime as organized criminal mischief in Texas. There is Organized Crime but Organized Crime is not a crime in itself but an enhancement of other crimes. Organized Crime is what under federal law would be called RICO or the racketeering statutes. It is gang or Mafia type crimes. In Texas Organized Crime is not a crime in itself but an enhancement in another crime AND the ability to charge everyone involved. It takes three or more people to be Organized Crime. An example of both enhancement and charging other people, who may not even know each other: A guy gets an idea of committing crimes and recruits a couple of other guys to help. The guy with the idea is A and he gets B and C to get involved. So A gets B to break into homes while people are at work. B will bring what he takes to A. A will later give it to C to sell because C has more contacts with people that would buy stolen property. B does not know C. The only connection they have with each other is knowing A. After C sells the merchandise, they split money. So B breaks into homes and stores stolen property with A who gives it to C to sell. Then… they get caught. What basic crimes do we have? B breaking into homes (Burglary) has committed a Second Degree Felony because breaking into a home has that penalty. It carries a maximum of 20 years in prison. If when arrested, A and C only had a few items whose value (let’s say $2,000) is just a misdemeanor. Normally they would be charged with a Class A misdemeanor with a maximum of up to a year in the county jail. So B is looking at a maximum of 20 years and A and C a year in the county jail for receiving or selling stolen property. But…. Organized Crime then comes into play. IF….. the state/DA can prove that all three were working together to profit from the Burglaries then all three can be charged with the Second Degree Felony of Burglary-Habitation. So much for a year maximum in jail for A and C. That is because under Organized Crime, everyone involved can be charged with the most serious crime. But wait, there’s more. Remember there is also an enhancement in penalty so the Second Degree Felony goes up one level to a First Degree Felony which carries a maximum sentence of 99 years in prison. So A and C, through Organized Crime, went from a misdemeanor of selling known stolen property to a First Degree Felony or the equivalent of the penalty of Murder. Clear as mud?

I would say that is about a 99% certainty. That it won’t happen.

I watched it. It is one man’s propaganda. He gives up his hurt feelings agenda within the first couple of minutes. He drew his conclusion and then searched out another propagandist and anecdotal evidence that agreed with him.

Neither are a threat to the USA.
