Quote:Seven Antifa militants have been arrested by authorities in Portland and are facing federal charges for participating in a violent riot outside of a US courthouse. The announcement was made by US Attorney Billy J. Williams.

A press release from the Department of Justice reads:

"Rowan Olsen, 19, of Portland, is charged with disorderly conduct, creating a hazard on federal property, and failing to obey a lawful order; Shant Singh Ahuja, 28, of Oceanside, California, is charged with destruction of federal property; and Andrew Steven Faulkner, 24, of Beaverton, Oregon; Gretchen Margaret Blank, 29, of Seattle, Washington; Christopher Fellini, 31, of Portland; Cody Porter, 28, of Portland; and Taimane Jame Teo, 24, of Eugene, Oregon, are charged with assaulting federal officers."

Some of the illegal activities the Antifa militants allegedly participated in include targeting officers with lasers, fireworks, and projectiles. The seven defendants also allegedly broke a door, a closed-circuit video camera, and assaulted police.

The DOJ writes that "Faulkner, Fellini, Porter, and Teo are accused of assaulting federal officers with high intensity lasers. At the time of his arrest, Faulkner also possessed a sheathed machete."

Fellini was found with components of a pipe bomb as well as a knife and mace.

All seven Antifa militants appeared in federal court on Monday and have been released pending their trials.

The DOJ clarified that the "cases are being investigated jointly by the U.S. Marshals Service; FBI; U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; Federal Protective Service; U.S. Customs and Border Protection; and Homeland Security Investigations."

Since May 26th, nightly riots have plagued Portland as members of Antifa have destroyed property, looted, set statues on fire, and vandalized buildings and monuments.

Portland DA doesn’t even charge rioters. But the US Attorney will. And federal court is a whole other ball game from softie state courts. They will get serious time for attacking a federal courthouse.

All 7 are young and have facial hair!

Glad the Feds are investigating this. What I'd like to see Trump do is to announce that he is forming task forces to go into cities like Seattle, Portland, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, etc. Create the task forces using personnel from the FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshall's Service, DEA, and others. You don't need local permission to go into the cities.

Investigate the riots and vandalism, identify perps, make arrests, publicly perp walk these morons in front of the cameras and hopefully they get convicted and serve some Federal time. Would go a long way to shut this stuff down and get the attention of the fools thinking they are doing something great by destroying things. Federal time would be a deterrent. They count on weak local leadership not doing anything to stop them. Will they ever be surprised to get nabbed by the Feds.

There is tons of video evidence out there and I'd like to see hundreds of arrests.

Tar and feather these cvcksvckers.

They always look like you think they will

I had the same thought.

Castrate every single one of them.

Now we know why they cover their faces.

Throw em under the damn jail

Rowan Olsen, 19, tried to barricade officers inside the courthouse at the riot. After the glass shattered, militants threw an explosive firework inside the building. In a statement, Olsen said he's peaceful. He was convicted last year of attacking police. http://archive.vn/goHjk

Quite a handsome group there.. looks like a lineup you would easily find on Tinder!

We are seeing lots of Antifa arrests. Are there BLM arrests?
