These are very serious felony charges. I hope they get locked up for a long time.

Quote:A total of 214 people have been indicted so far on felony rioting charges in connection with the Inauguration Day protests in downtown Washington.

On the morning of January 20, protests over Donald Trump's inauguration turned violent when black-clad "anti-fascist" protesters smashed storefronts and bus stops, hammered out the windows of a limousine and eventually launched rocks at a phalanx of police.

Officers responded by launching smoke and flash-bang devices into the street to disperse the crowds. Six police officers were injured and 230 protesters were arrested that day.

On Tuesday, a grand jury in DC charged five individuals. This was in addition to the 209 other defendants who've been indicted on rioting charges earlier this month.

Felony rioting carries a maximum of 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000.

The indictment accuses the defendants of using a tactic called "Black Bloc" in which people conceal their identities with dark or black clothing and accessories such as scarves, sunglasses, helmets and masks.

They assaulted a limousine driver, smashed windows of local businesses, destroyed a government vehicle and committed "violent and destructive acts," according to the indictment.

The DC Police had said that the several hundred demonstrators who actively confronted officers were vastly outnumbered by the thousands of nonviolent protesters who swarmed the nation's capital for Inauguration Day and the Women's March, held the day after.

Anyone who crossed from protesting to violence deserves to be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Buncha idiots. They're getting what they deserve.

They really hate garbage cans and newspaper boxes.

Breitbard News.

There's little worse than that anarchist/socialist/whateverist group of hipster-ish mobs who crawl out of their lofts and basements every once in a while.

Ironic, destroying businesses and attacking people in downtown Washington DC (read: already liberal businesses and liberal people who likely didn't vote for Trump anyhow).

SNL skits do a better job of getting under the administration's skin than breaking a Starbucks window.

Well, like they say. There's a silver lining to every woe. Now those Libturds will have a nice temperature controlled room with people of their ilk to keep them company. I wonder if they'll let them take Prep H to their cell because they might need it. I can hear them now…


MAMA!

Well, I gotta admit, this is about 210 more than I thought would ever see charges.

Leftist punks.

Good, give em max sentences.

hopefully the cops roughed them up real good.
