Dear whatever FBI agent is monitoring this thread:
Please pressure Kash Patel to do something about these rioters. Listen, I understand he's Indian and therefore operating with 20 fewer IQ points than a White man, and I understand it's easier to arrest a White boy you groomed on 4Chan into shooting up a school. I know he's working at a disadvantage. But for the sake of optics and his job, Kash needs to allocate resources to crushing this so the army doesn't have to. Tell him his izzat will rise with Americans if he does this.
Fuck optics. I'm so fucking sick and tired of hemming and hawing about fucking optics. To paraphrase what someone up thread said the only people that will care about the optics of this are people that were never going to vote Republican in the first place.
We don't have a friendly or even neutral media, and we haven't for a while. Did you know that most Americans supported the Kent State shooting? It's true: those hippies provoked the army for days until finally the soldiers snapped. Americans were glad it happened. You would never know this due to how thoroughly the media, news, and history books have been captured.
Escalation would be cathartic, I agree. I would love to see these faggots getting mowed down by a heavy machine gun ("John Browning's Revenge," as Welper would call it). However, enemy agitprop (i.e. CNN, MSNBC, lefty podcasts, etc.) would immediately play it up, and who knows how these faggots would escalate. Remember, we have an Indian man running the FBI; major escalation would mean they'd be in over their heads. Right now, we're in the most retarded game of "Chicken" imaginable.
If we're going to escalate, we need to take a lesson from Elliot Ness. We need an Untouchables style group to be given free reign to crack skulls, collect information, make arrests, and yes, shoot them when necessary.
Or perhaps the Feds can start putting bounties on Antifatard heads. They'll be less likely to show their faces when they know every autist with a computer will be hunting them across the internet for bitcoin.
My point is: there are things that can be done, both from an optics standpoint and from an effectiveness standpoint, short of simply shooting the bastards. If all else fails, then yes, Insurrection Act their asses and dump them in northern Alaska.
