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....

Welcome to Trmpistan!

God bless our holy leaders!

[Duchess47]

Wonderful. Looking forward to serious prison time.

It’s nice to have an adult in charge again. (tm)

[Artcore]

Good! Prosecute their sorry A$$es!

[Artcore]

The days of anything goes are over for these malcontents!

[Rebelbase]

Ch-ch-changes!

[tumblindice]

Make some examples of these little thugs.

Disrupt20 is now begging for $$ to help with legal fees for those arrested.

Charge each the maximum $250,000 and start the procewss to break the Soros bank.
Make him pay for the crazies he has set loose on this country.

Takes a lot more money to defend this kind of charge versus a slap-on-the-wrist disturbing the peace type of thing.

The leaders or Disrupt20 is going to enjoy some long jail times for conspiracy and incitement to riot.

I am no mathologist but 230 times $250K sounds like $57.5 mil to me

Obama would have paraded them on tv and given them trophies...What a difference a day makes...

[AmericanMermaid]

Yep! The old one linked away in a pool of lawlessness.

[libertylover]

So glad they’re going to face felony riot charges and not misdemeanor sidewalk spitting charges.

Does the money from the fines go into the US Treasury's general fund?

If so, I see a very nifty way of reducing the deficit on the backs of Soros and his ilk, especially if RCIO statutes are used which allow triple damages.

[Cementjungle]

Excellent. Especially letting them out on their own recognizance. Many will fail to show up for their hearings, then be felony fugitives. Next time they get stopped for a traffic violation they’ll get the felony fugitive treatment. Held without bail for the duration of their case/trial.

[snarkytart]

Yes!!
This better happen to, no backing down.

[funfan]

Good they should be charged.
