Many Arrested Inauguration Day Protesters Will Face Felony Rioting Charges

[HAPPY2BME]

WASHINGTON (CBSNEWS/AP) – Most of the approximately 230 protesters arrested on Inauguration Day will be charged with felony rioting, federal prosecutors said.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office said the offense is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. The office said most of those arrested will be released without having to post bail and must return to court in February.

A first group of 10 men appeared in Superior Court just before 3 p.m., and their lawyer entered a not guilty plea on their behalf. A judge released all of them on the condition they not get re-arrested in the District of Columbia.

Interim D.C. police chief Peter Newsham said Friday that 217 people were being charged with rioting.

The arrests took place in a four-block stretch of downtown Washington around the time of President Trump’s swearing-in ceremony.

The arrests came after some protesters created chaos. Windows of downtown businesses were smashed, and police deployed pepper spray and “sting balls” against the crowd.

Remember this the next time some leftist tries to claim these were just some agents provocateurs. Ask them if they think people would really risk going to jail (not to mention getting their asses kicked by the police) just to make the left look bad.

There are hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens did not show up in court.

here's a suggestion  about  violent leftists- shoot them
pepper  spay  and arrests  do not work ,singeing out  the ring leaders  inciting the  violence and the idiots in  guy faulks masks  throwing firebombs  and attacking folks  and then   giving  the police snipers  clearance  to blow their brains out is what   these scum understand

the  media and ACLU  would  howl but so what

if we get a court system that backs  the police  we could end this nonsense

seeing their friends   get lobotomized with a 308  or 300 winchester mag  up close and in person  or live on CNN would at lest get these jackasses to stick to peaceful protest  or even better keep their anarchist butts  at home in mommies  basement

They go into the wind and he feds don't pursue them.

Most of these trust fund tantrum throwers have fixed addresses, jobs/family, etc. and this administration will ensure they are pursued.  They had to post bail I am sure and have court dates, etc.
