What is the legal definition of insurrection?

Insurrection Law and Legal Definition. Insurrection refers to an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government. It is a violent revolt against an oppressive authority. Insurrection is different from riots and offenses connected with mob violence.
In insurrection there is an organized and armed uprising against authority or operations of government whereas riots and offenses connected with mob violence are simply unlawful acts in disturbance of the peace which do not threaten the stability of the government or the existence of political society.

The following is a case law defining Insurrection:

Insurrection means “a violent uprising by a group or movement acting for the specific purpose of overthrowing the constituted government and seizing its powers. An insurrection occurs where a movement acts to overthrow the constituted government and to take possession of its inherent powers.” [Younis Bros. & Co. v. Cigna Worldwide Ins. Co., 899 F. Supp. 1385, 1392-1393 (E.D. Pa. 1995)]

The problem with asking for someone to give you a letter of resignation, which you do as a courtesy to help them save face, is that it is then harder to say you fired them. I did fire James Mattis. He was no good for Obama, who fired him also, and was no good for me!

Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2020

Well that's a lie.

Mattie quit in protest over the Syrian withdrawal IIRC.

You may be a little confused.

Trump fired him because he wouldn't do what the Commander in Chief told him to do. He didn't learn the concept of Chain of Command when he was in the military. You would think that being a four star general he would have learned that, wouldn't you?

Mattis is cut from the same cloth that the McCain RINO in that both love war, and monger over it. Just like McCain did, Mattis whines to no end when he cannot get his way with Trump for having more war.

Well that's a lie.

Proof?

Dude when he has nothing that's all he says. Don't expect him to reply in any real fashion.

I never except anything from Moon Bats except hate and stupidity.

Gen. Mattis tells us he swore an oath to support and defend our Constitution and defends the right of demonstrators to protest, lauding them as “people of conscience” who were fulfilling the values of the country.

Perhaps Mattis, in his old age, has forgotten the right he speaks of, a “constitutional right”, commands the people may “peacefully” assemble when petitioning their government, which of course excludes and forbids the throwing of life threatening projectiles, and is what was correctly responded to.

And as to Mattis asserting “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people — does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership”, it is quite obvious that Mattis is unwilling to acknowledge there can never be unity between our communist and socialist crowd, and red blooded American citizens who support and defend our Constitutionally limited ”Republican Form of Government”, and its intended free market, free enterprise system ___ a meritocracy in which every person under protection of the law, is intended to be free to succeed or fail at their own hand!

Indeed, Mattis prefers to attack President Trump for wanting to enforce the rule of law, and sides with an orchestrated protest [orchestrated and given life by our Fifth Column Media and their Yellow Journalists] ___ a protest that has been co-opted by domestic enemies and has evolved into a direct attack on the lives, liberty, property and dreams of millions of American Citizens.

You, Mr. Mattis, should be ashamed of yourself for condemning our President for having a spine and sternly warning our communist/socialist leaders in Democrat controlled States to end the looting and mayhem, lest he do it for them.

JWK

Our country is infested with a Fifth Column movement at MSNBC, NEW YORK TIMES, CNN, WASHINGTON POST, ATLANTIC MAGAZINE, New York Daily News, Time, ETC., and their countless Yellow Journalists, who work hand in hand with the Democrat Party communist/socialist leadership

The fact is that the protestors in Washington were demonstrating peacefully before they were attacked by Trump's goon squad. Nothing was thrown. This was propaganda by you fascist pigs. The number of lies told about this is staggering. All of it from the right.

General Mattis put his life on the line for this country while Bonespurs Trump was too busy. He represents the majority view in this country. Sad to say that Biden is acting more Presidential The vast majority of Americans want a President who will unite the country. Every word out of Trump's mouth is violence.

You are the one who should be ashamed. American troops should not be politicized just so Trump can show how tough he is. This is not a country run by dictatorial thugs like Trump.

General Mattis is a patriot that believes in American intervention and foreign nation occupation and rebuilding and changing hearts and minds of the populous of that nation....he and his ilk were proven wrong....it simply can not be done...but try and tell people like Mad Dog Mattis that and it will be like talking to a wall.....

Look around people...look at your returning soldiers from that kind of thinking....good men and women left body parts on foreign soil for that kind of thinking...so now here comes Trump...he wants our men and women home and that shows the Mattis crowd up...and they don't like it....

Mattis certainly has not embraced General George Washington's advice regarding foreign entanglements:

"Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests." Washington's Farewell Address 1796

The liberty to succeed or fail at one’s own hand is a socialist’s nightmare and not the American Dream

Are you actually claiming the protests and riots are an insurrection?

The protesters were not violent who were fired on by our own government with rubber bullets, smoke canisters and pepper ball tear gas, with a helicopter hovering low above to wind them out... So to clear them out for the President' s awkward walk across the park to St John's, so he could fumble with a Bible for a photo op.

Rioters... looters, vandals, rock throwers, car and store destroyers, are criminals and should be arrested, and charged.

But all those protesting people fired on by park police and other govt forces, Were Peaceful.... And somebody's ass should be grass, for pulling that unconstitutional stunt imo.

Kewl story
None of that actually happened that way

From ALL VIEWS and video, there was no violence..... if you have some video of why the park police and other secret GOVT entities fired upon these protesters, then post it.... by all means, please show us this RIOT that the police and govt forces were trying to break up....

Show it.... now,

If you want to prove what I said, was not true....just give us some proof.

Mattis is one of those old school neocons that thinks occupying and gradually converting a native population to e the true goal.

Well, reducing fighting is nice, but you have to kill the enemy that has taken to the field against you first. First the Sword then the Olive Branch.

Mattis is a showboating coward.

The only enemy is Trump and his supporters. You clearly are a dictatorial thug. If there is any sedition going on, it is Trump who is the leader. He ignores the Constitution as he attempts to seize more power as dictators do.

He resigned. Trump did not fire him. Typical Trump supporter. Attacks men who served their country with distinction while defending Bonespurs Trump who skipped serving his country.

Pretty sure he has read it. Pretty sure he is not taking the sides of arsonists and looters. Pretty sure he has been in a good position to understand trump and proved that when he quit trump. Not sure why he took the job. Probably thought he might have had a sobering influence, but found out trump only likes Generals for their PR relation value, as trump is not much on leadership and no friend to the military, except lip service and doesn't listen to them. Ignoring the experience military generals is probably on of the reasons why he has made so many mistakes with the military and our foreign policy. Mattis nabbed trump dead to rights. Trump is a divider, not one to even attempt to unite the country. Though they deny he does it, I think there are many trump supporter that think that is part of his charm, as they prefer a divided America. General Mattis was correct in everything he said, and I thank him for speaking out. It is very important to hear from proven, respected Republican conservatives of conscience, while this man is still in office.

Obama fired him for being insubordinate......so did Trump.....Mattis is a complete loser

Suddenly Mattis is a "patriot"? Because of the way he cheers on the rioters?
Was he a patriot when he joined with Trump in his administration?

Or are you just full of it?

 

[johnwk]

The only enemy is Trump and his supporters. You clearly are a dictatorial thug.

Why? Do you really want to go back to the Democrat Party’s communist/socialist and globalist agenda under which American manufacturing jobs are sent to China; our borders are left unguarded, allowing millions of other countries poverty stricken, poorly educated, low skilled and criminals are allowed to flood into our country?


I’ll concede the fact that President Trump is not as refined and smooth talking as the Washington Establishment’s politicians are, and that he unnecessarily insults anyone who disagrees with him. But I also embrace the fact that unlike our past several presidents, President Trump has actually delivered on many of his promises, including an America First Policy, which is a policy despised by the communist/socialist Democrat Party Leadership, which you seem to support.


JWK


They are not “liberals” or “progressives”. The Democrat Party Leadership is infested with notoriously evil communists and socialists who delude, lure and addict our nations needy with free government cheese used to buy votes and keeps the needy and underprivileged enslaved and dependent.

He has been a patriot all of his life. He didn't stick around (quitting trump) when he realized trump only wanted a poster-boy photo op, not and advisor. trump has a real problem with photo ops as if he thinks they control the narrative. They don't.

Actually he is the the absolute antithesis of Dictator -
He has dismantled draconian legislation and regulation - to give people back the power that other Presidents (and legislators )have improperly taken.
You really shouldn't use words that you don't know the meaning of in public.

my crimes:

I support gay rights

I support equal rights and civil rights
I don't want a CHRISTIAN theocracy
I do not want ANY religion dictating law
I am APPALLED at the terrible things trump has said and done (BIG FKN LIST)
I support citizens right to own weapons
I support AFFORDABLE education and healthcare
I want a president that I can respect
I want a president that does NOT admire dictators
I want a president that REVEALS his taxes
I want a president that is NOT a puppet to putin
I want a president who does not spend all day insulting people and calling them names
(in other words) I do not want a president who behave like a 12 year old bully

That does NOT make me public enemy number 1


That makes me a REAL American

however....YOU are still human garbage

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Yeah...he's the sort of "patriot" who thinks destructive deadly riots are great stuff. By the way, if your credibility was a commodity item you couldn't give it away.

Obama fired the "patriot" Mattis. What does that make Obamaa?


By the way you have latched onto a lie and you are spreading it around like the Covid virus (which is just how the media likes it) claiming that Trump ordered the rioters dispersed just so he could walk over and have his picture taken in front of a church he has been so close to for three years now he could hit with a frisbee.

The fact is the St. John's church had been vandalized and set on fire by rioters and they had also attacked
the police with rocks and bottles and started a bonfire.
Or would you prefer this church be burned down to deny Donald the opportunity to have his picture taken there? Goebels knew long ago you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth.

He didn't stick around (quitting trump) when he realized trump only wanted a poster-boy photo op, not and advisor. trump has a real problem with photo ops as if he thinks they control the narrative. They don't

Bullshit! Are you claiming James Mattis was completely unaware that Donald Trump liked
publicity before he joined up and was completely caught by surprise by his personality?
You don't seem that dumb but maybe you are.

The problem with you is you don't support freedom of speech or fair elections.
And THAT makes YOU as un-American as they come.

FYI, motherfucker, I served my country as a member of the most elite and decorated units in the US Army, 5Th Special Forces Group.

So fuck you dirt bag.
