Scores of demonstrators charged with rioting in the District on Friday were well organized, ready to confront police and prepared to violently disrupt the inauguration, according to some of the protesters and organizers.
Details of the disturbances in a four-square-block area downtown that led to more than 230 arrests began emerging after protesters made their first court appearances Saturday, a process that continued through the evening as defendants were brought into D.C. Superior Court in batches of 10. Most faced a felony charge of rioting, which carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence.
The preparation undertaken by protesters included arriving armed with hammers and crowbars, police said in court filings that also said officers moved in to make arrests after windows were broken on storefronts and a city emergency vehicle, and a parked limousine was set on fire shortly before President Trump’s swearing-in ceremony.
Before protesters took to the streets, leaders of an umbrella organization for the demonstration operated a detailed website, designated a media spokesman, had “street” medics to tend to injured demonstrators and said in news releases that the group included protesters who were willing to be arrested.

The prosecutors ought to hit them with conspiracy charges on top of everything else they qualify for.... and RICO prosecutions for the organizers and associated organizations!
We’re so close to the PROOF getting out there that paid protestors and organizers are at the core. Those who go to promote their personal causes are mostly useful idiots. Why not Sedition and any laws involving Anarchy be the charges against the bad actors? That will wake up at least a percentage of the useful idiots, thus cutting down on the numbers at riots.
Nothing to scoff at here. This guy has great potential down the road as a 'Rat politician or future Secretary of State.
This is the direction of the 'Rat party.
Exactly. If an organization conspired to commit another type of felony such as selling drugs or stealing cars, they would be prosecuted for conspiracy. Do these organizations have some sort of defense for criminal action because they’re left wing? Baloney.
Evry company that lost property to these aholes, every insurance company, every private citizen, should sue the perps individually and as class action - bankrupt the morons
Use the little fish to get to the big ones. Get them to squeal, then squeeze them until we find everyone at the top. The enemy inside the walls is more dangerous that those without.

Well paid rioters too.
I wonder if the SPLC will tag the group as a terrorist or hate group.
Hey anarcharists...there's a new SHERIFF in town, and people walking around in Masks and Crowbars and Hammers and Bats will not be tolerated.....I hope.
The Compost buys a clue.
Good idea.
The anarchist segment of the vast leftwing conspiracy.
We have a word for so-called “protestors” who destroy property, Washington Post - that word is “rioters”.

As Gunny Ermey famously said, “Well (comma) no shit!”

We on FR were the first to nationally expose this nefarious operation.
It became clear by post #115 that it was a national operation. Delegitimize Trump....right out of the Alinsky handbook: Rules for Radicals.
Many thought it was a phishing site. Laz got it right, saying it was likely real.
I doubt Trump will send an “Eric Holder” to throw out the charges and let them go.
The crime was terrorist in nature and conducted in war like manner
