Terrorism?

Couldn't agree more with Mr. Goldberg. A snippet that sums up his thesis:

"The groundswell behind the label “terrorist” for Antifa is a call to blur that distinction. Although treating American radicals and vigilantes the way we treat foreign members of the Islamic State or al-Qaeda might play well in certain corners of the populist Right these days, serious conservatives should be very skeptical about granting the federal government new police powers, which could be used to other ends in future administrations.

Elevating Antifa to the category of terrorist organization would fuel the worst trends in our politics. It would entice President Trump to indulge his strongman shtick, and it would give Antifa the stature it clearly craves. It would also likely accelerate vigilante violence among the white nationalists. Launching a federal crusade against domestic enemies would only fuel the fallacy that anyone Antifa attacks is a fascist. We should fight crime, whatever guise it takes, on the local level — as the founders intended."

They're reporting from the wrong angle...

The real story is the effect this will have on those "in the system".  Social workers, fearing potential criminal liability will undoubtedly opt to break up families more quickly and otherwise err on the side of protecting themselves. 

If these individuals actually falsified records or otherwise lied to protect the murderous parents, then the social workers should be prosecuted.  What this may be, however, is prosecutorial and judicial overreach and Monday morning quarterbacking. 

Regardless, faced with the choice between potential criminal prosecution at the hands of District Attorneys with near limitless resources and civil suits from resourceless parents at or below the poverty line, many social workers will understandably act to protect themselves from the former knowing the latter just isn't going to happen...
