I'd bet this type of behavior from the government is what causes "domestic terrorism"...not just the "radicals" mentioned in headlines.

  I’m not aware of any domestic terror attacks (shootings?) where asset forfeiture has even been raised as a contributing factor. The Las Vegas shooter is kinda-money related in that he was a problem gambler. That’s the closest I can think of. Do you have any citation where this has happened? Because if not, that’s probably a pretty poor “bet” you’re making…

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Austin_suicide_attack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Austin_suicide_attack The IRC is distinct from civil asset forfeiture, but they're both obtuse bureaucracies that care not for the individuals they crush. (idk what's with the downvotes. What I said is pretty factual unless you're like an accountant)

    When people can't get recourse through the courts they go around the courts. Killdozer dude is the quintessential example.
