Expressing the sense of the Senate that mob violence should be condemned.

S. Res. 645 · 116th Congress · Jul 2, 2020 · Lineage

RESOLUTION

That it is the sense of the Senate that—
(1)
the rising tide of vandalism, mob violence, and the mob mentality that feeds it—including its cruel and intolerant “cancel culture”—should be condemned by all Americans;
(2)
peaceful demonstrations and mob violence are different in kind;
(3)
physical assault and property destruction are not forms of political speech but violent crimes whose perpetrators should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law; and
(4)
the innocent law enforcement officers, public officials, and private citizens who suffer the mob’s violence and endure its scorn while protecting our communities from them deserve the thanks and appreciation of every American.
