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.

The Feds are moving in.

$50 and time served.

Make him pay for the replacement vehicles.

[Balding_Eagle]

You need to become better informed.

[CatOwner]

You need to watch some old episodes of Night Court and lighten up.

Molotov cocktail, the local drink
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
They mix 'em up right
In the kitchen sink
And all she wants to do is dance

Yeah - using (possessing?) a molotov is a federal offense. So the Seattle DA isn't involved to just let them off. Some gal in Seattle was arrested with NO BAIL set - so BLM/Biden money isn't getting her out.

IIRC it is a minimum of 10 years federal prison for the use of a molotov but I might be wrong.

Ope - now I read the article! POSSESSION is a ten year minimum sentence.

In addition to the 10-20 for arson.

He’ll be making that face in Club Fed a lot.

[Professional]

Wonder if he thinks it was worth it?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I hear that they serve a lot of tube steak at Club Fed. Maybe Fatifa boy can slim down on a tube steak diet.

According to the article and the FBI his worst crime?

De-legitimizing a peaceful legal protest. I shit you not.

[Karl Spooner]

I bet all the other Molotov throwers suddenly got a severe case of paranoia.

If it were the Seattle DA, they might pay him for his loyal service to Saint Marx. Not with the feds.

[moovova]

Don’t come back here Yankee.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

I knew this young man when he was an early teen.

I have a lot of feelings about this kid right now....not the least of which is he was probably throwing shit at me at these protests.

I feel bad for his parents and family but FUCK him.

He better have something to trade to the feds or take the best plea deal he can.

Fed court defense attorneys start at about 750/hr and he ia not from a rich family.

He ain’t no trust fund baby like moat of antifa.

[Cobra64]

Huh? Why? Toss a Molotov cocktail at him, followed by a lit match.
