Portland Protester Arrested, Facing Federal Charge After Overnight Attack on Hatfield Courthouse
justice.gov ^ | July 3, 2020 | U.S. Attorney’s Office District of Oregon

 PORTLAND, Ore.—U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams announced today that a Portland man has been arrested for his role in an overnight attack on the Hatfield Federal Courthouse.

“The lawless and violent acts of extremists across the political spectrum cannot continue. Violence directed at federal, state, and local law enforcement and property destruction is inconsistent with the aims of social justice,” said U.S. Attorney Williams. “These are criminal acts and individuals who engage in them will be held accountable.”

Rowan M. Olsen, 19, aka Kiefer Alan Moore, was arrested by Federal Protective Service officers in the early morning hours of July 3, 2020, and a criminal complaint alleging destruction of government property is being presented to a U.S. Magistrate Judge. Olsen will remain in custody until his first appearance in federal court on July 6, 2020.

A criminal complaint is only an accusation of a crime, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Last night’s demonstration marked a significant escalation in violence against federal property in Portland. Officers from the Federal Protective Service and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, as well as U.S. Marshals, were assaulted with bottles, rocks, commercial-grade fireworks, and improvised explosives. Other incendiary devices were thrown into the Hatfield Federal Courthouse.

These actions are illegal and will not be tolerated. Perpetrators of violence against federal law enforcement officers and property will face arrest and prosecution.

So what was the outcome from the appearance in front of the judge? This was from 7 days ago, so it should be on record by now.

Don’t worry, folks. Some leftist judge will let this criminal go with no punishment.

“A criminal complaint is only an accusation of a crime, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.”

Really? Is it a new concept of modern jurisprudence?

Biden needs to go on record reassuring these freedom fighters that the federal cases against them will all be pardoned or dropped on day one of a Biden presidency. Make campaign ads, put it on bumper stickers: Joe Biden’s America is the land of the free. Free range Antifa that is.

All seven defendants made their first appearances in federal court on July 6, 2020 and were released pending trial.
