Most of the 230 rioters arrested after violent protests erupted in Washington D.C. following Donald Trump's inauguration will be charged with felony rioting, federal prosecutors said on Saturday.
The charge carries a punishment of up to ten years in jail and a $25,000 fine.
Thousand of protesters launched a violent rampage just blocks away from the White House as anti-Trump demonstrators smashed store windows, set fire to cars and threw bricks at police.
Many of those arrested are due to appear in court on Saturday, according to WUSA 9.
Heated clashes broke out in McPherson Square and along K Street as hundreds of riot police fired tear gas and drew their nightsticks to contain the masked mob.
As the rioting unfolded, Trump and his family were arriving at a review stand at the White House to see the end of the inaugural parade.
Militant anti-Trump protesters gave a foretaste of what could follow during the violent outbreaks, which has so far seen 217 people arrested and at least six police officers injured.

Throw the book at them.
Then throw them in prison.
Lock both them and H->! up.
I won’t hold my breath for the sentencing.
Hmmm...this is interesting...going for the max on these butt wipes by a new DOJ might send the right message, if they can.
These crimes happened during Trump’s Presidency....interesting to see what happens.
Good. You have a right to protest, but rioting and endangering public safety is not protected under the first amendment. It’s a violent crime, and a presidential inauguration ceremony is not the place for it. Doing it at a time like that is a show of poor judgment.
Play the game, pay the price.
So. Much. Winning.
Too bad; I recommended they send them all down to Gitmo for a couple of weeks .. and scare some sense into them.
Technically; they could have been charged with terrorism.
They are hired mercenaries, paid communist agitators from groups financially supported by Soros. Fines need to walk up the chain to the money.
As the leader of the biker gang said about these types in the original “Dawn of the Dead”, they just effed up real bad.
“as anti-Trump demonstrators smashed store windows, set fire to cars and threw bricks at police. “
Planned & premeditated felonious activity.
Personally, I’d like to see them hit with the nice fat
$250k fine - rather than lazing around in prison on the public’s dime.
But I wouldn’t be unhappy if they all got 10 years. Set the precedent AG Sessions!

Weeks? Weeks?
Felony bump.
Danamora.
Just until their trials .. silly ..!!!!
A fitting place for the protestors.
A bit of a hellhole.
I hope they throw the book at the animals that the left has unleashed upon America. It is one of the ways the globalist try to intimidated good people in whatever country they are trying to destabilize. Put them in prison and the next time some professional agitator will think twice before he acts like an enraged chimp.
