MARCUS GRIEGO CHARGED AS AN ADULT
Punk kid who threw rocks at police during the Albuquerque Trump riots now faces felony charges. And his lawyer is crying to the media for leniency.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The 14-year-old accused of throwing a rock at officers and hitting a sergeant during the riot following Donald Trump’s Albuquerque rally has been charged as an adult with two felony counts of aggravated battery on a peace officer, but his defense attorney says the charge is too much.
After the dust settled from the riot following Donald Trump’s Albuquerque speech, the search was on for 30 suspects the Albuquerque Police Department says targeted their officers. So far they have arrested three, including 14-year-old Marcus Griego.
“The commander actually witnessed Marcus throw a rock directly and hit the sergeant that was standing next to him,” Celina Espinoza, spokeswoman for the Albuquerque police said, adding that “Marcus laughed it off and kinda just pretended it wasn’t a big deal when he was confronted by officers.”
Griego is charged with two felony counts of aggravated battery on a peace officer. His defense attorney says Griego did go to the Trump protest but denied to his parents that he threw a rock. Griego is currently being held in juvenile lockup.
WOO HOO finally someone with balls to stand up and do the right thing!!!
Nowadays if a 14 y/o kid really ef’s up big time, they get their name circulated, and they get tried as a full grown man. That is a change I agree with. Deal with your dirt!
If I were his lawyer, I would claim equal protection as he was one of the few arrested. See where this is going leftists.
A little bastard with nothing but hatred for America and no clue about American history. I’ll bet he can put a condom on a cucumber pretty quick though. I hope they throw the book at him.
Deport him and his parents back to Mexico.
Would be have been charged if the only injury was to a Trump supporter?
Somehow I doubt it.
We really mustn’t throw rocks at the cops. This isn’t France.
Let’s hope they make it a “BIG DEAL” for the young senor Griego.
hm. the hunt is on for those who threw rocks at Leos, which is good, but what about those who threw rocks at civilians? Leos ‘hunting’ them, too? I hope?
Yup!
He’s a thought about what to do with these seditious bass turds from the site’s comment section:
“Since he’s been deemed an adult in this case, he could be tried under the USA PATRIOT Act. Section 802 of the act says that you are a domestic terrorist if you engage in violent activity in order to affect political change. Domestic terrorists can be stripped of their citizenship and sent to spend the rest of their lives in in foreign rendition prisons.”
NDAA 2012 permits indefinite detention of individuals exhibiting belligerence to authorites.
Unfortunately, these harsh provisions will be reserved for conservatives and christians participating in future protest events.
Could March on DC 09/12/2009 ever be held again?

“Trump Protester” is a lie. He was not protesting for Trump.
Why aren't these anti-American thugs called “New World Order protesters”?
No hice nada
Sooner or later, they're going to hit a "reporter".
Waiting for Ruben Salazar's name to be brought up.
A 16 teen year old, a 14 teen year old, a 12 year old , a 10 year old, can kill you just as easy as a 25 year old or a 21 year old.
Never did understand this age discrimination thing; in the RVN 10 and 12 year olds were killing adult soldiers as well as any VC or NVA soldier.
Welcome to real world consequences for your actions, snowflake.

WOO HOO finally someone with balls to stand up and do the right thing!!!>>> yes but this needs to be on camera perp walk to quell this bs. the cops are doing this behind the scenes.
