Okay, getting a little bit technical, the referenced federal law strengthens the 1st Amendment-protected right of peaceful assembly under 14th Amendment. Insights, corrections welcome.
"(2) a fine under this title or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both, in any other case."
Since there were no firearms or significant bodily inury involved, it looks like (2) above is the maximum punishment in this case. And a Democrat judge will probably let the guy go free.
Again, insights, corrections welcome.
And yet, he was let go after four hours in custody and posting bond?! WTF?!
‘Since there were no firearms or significant bodily inury involved’
There were certainly firearms at the Chicago protest/disruption that forced the cancellation. People were there to rally and were assaulted and threatened.
I would bet there were Secret Service on site to prep the site and provide early protection preparations.
There are several videos as well so many of the ‘protestors’ were recorded.
Sounds to me like a decent job of conservative lawful pay-back could occur.
Well the Judge could dismiss the case on a motion from defense or LE can decline to charge in the first place (problematic since the secret service needs the deterrent, however slight). The max sanction for a guilty on this minus weapon/bodily injury is the 1 year, the fine, or both.
