Felony charges awaiting hundreds of Inauguration Day violent rioters
American Thinker ^ | 22 Jan, 2017 | Thomas Lifson

For the last 8 years leftist thugs have gotten a pass. Early on in the Obama administration, New Black Panther storm troopers – the label is fitting because they were decked out in ominous uniforms – stood before a polling station, weapons at hand, an obvious effort at voter intimidation that drew no official action from Eric Holder’s Justice Department. In effect, open season was declared by the chief law enforcement officer of the United States, and the message was received by progressives.

Those days are over, now that Holder’s surrogate Loretta Lynch is no longer in charge at the DOJ. Even before the law-and-order new boss Jeff Sessions is confirmed:

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.

Find George Soros and lock his communist ass up for inciting violence against the President.

Cut the head off the snake.

Send them all to Gitmo for 10 years, then send them a bill for room and board.

That might just happen. I really expect Soros to be indicted within the next 4-5 months on violations of US election and finance laws. And when that happens, watch most of those radical Left groups shrivel up because their primary source of funding will be gone.

..........
Take a break, Charlie. If ominous uniforms are what it takes to make storm troopers, you can start calling the Salvation Army jack-booted thugs.

We should pay another country to incarcerate these rioters.I’m thinking Turkey or Iraq.

Since obama released a couple of thousand drug dealers, we have plenty of cells that are waiting to be used.

I’ll bet they were not counting on actually getting charged. Their “good old days” are over.

Commit a felony.
Get released without even having to post bail.

Business as usual in the pre-Sessions DOJ.

They should all get criminal records at the least. America is a nation of laws and if you act like a thug, you should be known as one.

Could you imagine the outrage if Trump supporters dressed like this to protest against Hillary?
