The protester who climbed a ladder to help bring down a Confederate soldier statue was arrested Tuesday, and Sheriff Mike Andrews said his office will pursue felony charges against others.
“Let me be clear, no one is getting away with what happened,” Andrews said.
Takiyah Thompson, a member of Workers World Party and student at N.C. Central University, was arrested after activists held a press conference at NCCU Tuesday afternoon.
In a release Thompson said she was the one who tied a rope around the soldier’s neck so that others could pull the statue to the ground.
The protest left The Confederate Soldiers Monument, dedicated on May 10, 1924, headless on the grass.
Thompson was charged with participation in a riot with property damage in excess of $1,500 (Class H Felony) and inciting others to riot where there is property damage in excess of $1,500 (Class F Felony), the Sheriff’s Office said.
She also was charged with disorderly conduct by injury to a statue and damage to real property, both misdemeanors.

“Takiyah”
Well, we all know what that means, no matter how it’s spelled.
Good luck getting them on riot charges with the police standing by doing nothing, saying nothing, filming quietly...
Unless you charge the cops as co-conspirators...
Meanwhile, as long as they’re in the clink, the rioters can get their sex change ops paid for...
As part of their felon punishment make them put the statue back up.
Question: Why did law enforcement stand there and watch it happen?
Communists are filthy control freaks that hate freedom and hate America. They have a history with more blood, torture and death than the sticking Nazis who are their brothers. You need to look no further than Mao in China or Stalin in Russia.
Just make her pay for a new statute. Those hand carved statues are expensive. Course the biotch is probably on government assistance.
There was another thread where the city cops said it was county jurisdiction so they had to hands-off. Notice this is the county sheriff talking.
Funny, I watched it live and thought it was a fat dude climbing up the monument.
Turns out it was a woman.
"Hey big girl, back it up, come on and back it up!"
are they going to erect another statue or fix and put back up the old one?
Most can’t even afford a good lawyer.
It’s pretty much an open shut case. It’s just simply a matter of how they plea in court.
I don’t know, but they’re putting themselves in a bad position, the cops. The BLM types want them frying like bacon, and they treat white (normie) people trying to demonstrate like the second coming of Hitler. Gettin to where nobody likes a cop.
Bump — Just getting some of the details of this fiasco.
Felons in the Southland should be made to pick cotton. Every county should establish a work farm for this exact purpose.
Pleny-o-calories in that town...
Per the police it was a “safety” concern. I think they caught so much heat, and they are finally doing the thing that should have been done.
Nevertheless, it looks like Sheriff is finally making the right move.
It was County Courthouse property (belonging to county) located inside city limits...City cops had no jurisdiction and at the time county cops were outside the city...
