The Philadelphia protester who torched two police cars in 2020 – and was then tracked down by investigators through the website Etsy – was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for the attack.
Lore-Elisabeth Blumenthal, 35, pleaded guilty in March to downgraded charges of obstructing, impeding and interfering with law enforcement officers for firebombing the two cop cars outside Philadelphia City Hall as protests raged in the city.
At her sentencing hearing Thursday, Blumenthal said she was high on drugs and in the throes of addiction when she torched the cars, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
“My substance abuse left me feeling utterly self-righteous and impervious to critique,” Blumenthal told Judge Barclay Surrick, according to the paper.
“I channeled all of my outrage and grief into the police, and I wish I’d not done that and had had the coping skills and self-de-escalation I do today,” she added.

The firebug was busted by feds who tracked her down after noticing her distinctive T-shirt, which had the phrase “Keep the Immigrants Deport the Racists” written on it.
They linked the shirt to a seller on Etsy and followed online clues from there that led them to Blumenthal.

Still personally responsible. You chose to take the drugs as well.

Just a community organizer.
My systemically leftist media consumption as well. The leftist media do severe damage to our country and to those who follow them.
What kind of drugs? Fatso pills?
Everybody has an excuse. Her excuse is she was high on drugs. Hope she enjoys prison.
Ah, a daughter of obama.
A bun
No bra
flopping tits
comfortable flat shoes
tats
a firebomb
she will be a hit in the joint... since she’s so demure...
Is she paying for the two wrecked vehicles?
She should.
She was sentenced to 33 HOURS of community service!
Everyone has an excuse. Not everyone has a woman card.
Glad they rejected it although if she were a man her prison time would have been at least 5 years.
Absolutely, she should have been forced to make restitution for the two police cars she destroyed. As part of her sentence. My guess is $70,000 or so.
The guy who stood in the Capital with a Buffalo hat got 4 years.
Again, a criminal, leftist democrat is treated with kids gloves.
Our criminal justice system has been totally corrupted in way too much of country.
Wow, that looks worse than anything that happened on J6... speaking of which, how many cop cars were vandalized and burned on Jan 6, 2021?
Dare I say none?
