3) Depriving persons of rights or privileges

If two or more persons in any State or Territory conspire or go in disguise on the highway or on the premises of another, for the purpose of depriving, either directly or indirectly, any person or class of persons of the equal protection of the laws, or of equal privileges and immunities under the laws; or for the purpose of preventing or hindering the constituted authorities of any State or Territory from giving or securing to all persons within such State or Territory the equal protection of the laws; or if two or more persons conspire to prevent by force, intimidation, or threat, any citizen who is lawfully entitled to vote, from giving his support or advocacy in a legal manner, toward or in favor of the election of any lawfully qualified person as an elector for President or Vice President, or as a Member of Congress of the United States; or to injure any citizen in person or property on account of such support or advocacy; in any case of conspiracy set forth in this section, if one or more persons engaged therein do, or cause to be done, any act in furtherance of the object of such conspiracy, whereby another is injured in his person or property, or deprived of having and exercising any right or privilege of a citizen of the United States, the party so injured or deprived may have an action for the recovery of damages occasioned by such injury or deprivation, against any one or more of the conspirators.

2. Pivotal observation. Everyone needs to see this for what it is. More than just class war.

We have rights.

4. thank you for this

just took a walk..talking to myself the entire way. Ows protesters have been beaten, their message marginalized,their property and food and shelter taken from them, raided in the middle of the night for standing up against the injustice. We have this right...and now elected officials from 18 occupy cities, have admitted to conspiring against the movement. Some cities in this country are going bankrupt because of wall street crimes. I'm sick of this. I think this is a crime that deserves prosecution. The streets are a little less tidy while Americans across the country attempt to take our country back. Get over it mayors, what you have done is despicable.

5. every ows city that has been raided this week are the victims of this crime

thats a lot of people.

6. Thanks for posting this..but I think the system is rigged.

I really wonder if anyone will pursue this.. an agressive attorney is needed. Since the 1% seem to own the system, its gonna be difficult.

I don't think we live in such a critter any longer.

as is now being reported, guess "conspiracy to interfere with civil rights" means squat.

22. This does not appear to apply?

It clearly applies to conspiracies to deprive people of "equal protection of the laws," or of voting or advocating for candidates in an election.

But the occupiers are not advocating for any candidate. The only way I see this could apply is if the cities were preventing OWS from camping white allowing, say, Teapartiers to camp.
