"Enemies of the People"

                                   Review by Amelia Gora (2020)

The following words of U.S. President Grover Cleveland can be very helpful to Presidents over time:

"Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, do hereby admonish all good citizens, and all persons who may be or may come within the City and State aforesaid, against aiding, countenancing, encouraging, or taking any part in such unlawful obstructions, combinations, and assemblages; and I hereby warn all persons engaged in or in any way connected with such unlawful obstructions, combinations, and assemblages to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes on or before twelve o’clock noon of the 9th day of July instant.

Those who disregard this warning and persist in taking part with a riotous mob in forcibly resisting and obstructing the execution of the laws of the United States, or interfering with the functions of the Government, or destroying or attempting to destroy the property belonging to the United States or under its protection, cannot be regarded otherwise than as public enemies.

Troops employed against such a riotous mob will act with all the moderation and forbearance consistent with the accomplishment of the desired end; but the stern necessities that confront them will not with certainty permit discrimination between guilty participants and those who are mingling with them from curiosity and without criminal intent. The only safe course, therefore, for those not actually participating, is to abide at their homes, or at least not to be found in the neighborhood of riotous assemblages.

While there will be no vacillation in the decisive 107treatment of the guilty, this warning is especially intended to protect and save the innocent."

Note:  Appears that U.S. President Trump could also follow utilize President Clevelands method in calling the rioting groups as well as the media, social media, even foreign nations when found out and inform everyone.

Ramifications result and those who did participate or had knowledge of the frauds currently being reviewed should be known as "public enemies".

Supporting innocents.

aloha.
