SEATTLE -- An Edmonds man has been arrested and charged with arson for allegedly burning police cars during a riot in Downtown Seattle last May, federal prosecutors announced Wednesday.
Several police cars were set ablaze during the protests on May 30. Investigators obtained various videos that showed a man wearing distinctive clothing using two "Molotov Cocktail' devices in an attempt to burn two police vehicles, prosecutors said. Detectives identified 20-year-old Kelly T. Jackson as their suspect after getting an anonymous tip and matching Jackson to the person seen on the videos.

He gets paid the fifty dollars. He, like Hillary Clinton will never see the inside of a jail cell. He is doing the same thing again by now.
You can’t hide the heat coming off the street.
He is not worried. He knows that he will never see the inside of a jail cell. He is burning more Police cars by now.

Mommy told me not to play with matches. Shoulda listened.
The last time it was just this week when she came into my room and told me I should put my robe on and come downstairs because breakfast was ready.
I remember ‘cause it was the same day my welfare money came in. She always wondered why I bought boxes of 50 Bic lighters every time there was a riot. She’s a good mommy.
Was this the “hot foot” guy?
This thread cries out for that reply.
Possession of an unregistered Destructive Device is a Federal crime. 10 years and $10,000 fine. Where is the DOJ? Where is the ATF?

I’m guessing somebody blocked a street or broke a window before this guy tossed a molotov. However - I tend to agree with the FBI on this.
All of the rioters that broke the law or became violent should be charged with the harshest measures. The very FIRST Amendment is at stake - that’s a “big f-ing deal” (even bigger than obamacare).
I don’t have to agree with these idiots, but they are granted the right to peacefully assemble and air their grievances.
Should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Do terrorism Statutes apply ?
Agreed. This rioter like so many others, will get virtually no penalty and will go back out to riot some more. So, who is the real enemy in this situation?

If that. I bet charges are dismissed.
Don’t be a low-info pundit...
Given several other responses in this thread, I am not alone in my skepticism about anything being done to punish the left or the Deep State. With that in mind, my post was also part sarcasm. Read post #5 in this thread for reference.
Difference is the Feds are being ramped up for the precise reason that local DAs are refusing to prosecute...it’s actually a bit ironic...by trying to protect the anarchists, they have now relegated them, to some serious federal charges and repercussions.
I understand your comment from the point of view that DAs were not doing the job, but the Feds are in as a direct response...
