                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress must 
completely and unequivocally condemn violence, lawlessness, and rioting 
 from all individuals and groups, regardless of ideology or political 
                              affiliation.

Whereas, in 2020 and 2021 in cities throughout the United States, over 9,000 
        demonstrations, many of them violent and destructive, some amounting to 
        domestic terrorism, took place, injuring hundreds and claiming more than 
        30 American lives, inflicting over $1,000,000,000 in damages and stolen 
        goods, destroying Federal buildings and property, and displaying a 
        willful disregard for the rule of law: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes that Federal law enforcement, Federal 
        property, and citizens' rights must be protected;
            (2) urges political leaders on both sides of the aisle to 
        immediately condemn all violent protests and criminal behavior 
        associated with rioting;
            (3) commands justice, order, and domestic tranquility 
        across the country be restored immediately; and
            (4) supports the Attorney General in prosecuting all 
        individuals actively engaged in rioting to the fullest extent 
        of the law.
                                 <all>
