Brian Bartels, 20-Year-Old Accused Of Inciting Violence And Riots In Pittsburgh, In Police Custody
KDKA CBS Pittsburgh ^

Posted on 06/02/2020 6:27:45 AM PDT by bryan999

Twenty-year-old Brian Bartels, the man accused of inciting violence and riots in Pittsburgh on Saturday, is in police custody.

Bartels turned himself in at police headquarters Monday. He arrived with an adult male and adult female.

Bartels is facing charges of institutional vandalism, rioting and reckless endangerment. According to police, he’s responsible for breaking the windows out of a Pittsburgh police car against the wishes of peaceful protesters.

After he was arrested, police say they received a call from Bartels’ attorney earlier in the day saying Bartel would turn himself in Monday afternoon. Bartels had no comment as he walked into police headquarters.

His attorney also told KDKA’s Nicole Ford he has no comment.

There was so much destruction downtown after Saturday’s violent demonstration, and police believe Bartels from the Allison Park area helped incite that violence.

Pittsburgh Police provided a photo of him wearing all black with a black bandanna around his face.

Besides Pittsburgh Police, Shaler Police, North Hills SRT and FBI Pittsburgh served a search warrant at a home in Shaler Sunday.

Bartels was not there, but investigators say they found evidence that links him to the protests — guns, spray paint and gloves. Also found during the search warrant execution was the sweatshirt matching the one seen in the video of the protest on Saturday.

They better throw the book at him, or you’re just asking for more of the same.

He will be booked and released, because, you know.....Kung Flu

Needs to be publicly hanged.
In the meantime, he may want to invest in some “soap-on-a-rope” as Big Bubba is just a waitin’ for a fresh snowflake.

AKA, his parental units.

A 20 year old is supposed to be an adult.

At 18 your supposed to be considered an adult. After all, you can join the military and kill the enemy.

$40,000+ police cruiser burned. That’s a felony.

Inciting a riot? (which he did; the Pittsburgh Protest *was* actually peaceful until that moment he set the thing on fire, then all hell broke loose). Felony.

He’s actually charged with 3 Felonies; and 5 Misdemeanors.

They may be able to plead that down to 1 Felony of the lowest level and drop the other 7 charges; which is typical.

He’ll have to plea; which means he’s a beggar, not a chooser. He really has no option to go to trial; the entire local jury pool is furious with this dweeb; including the black folks who got in his way and tried to stop him. He goes to trial and he’ll be in the State Pen doing hard time.

He arrived with Mommy and Daddy.

How do you know it was mommy and daddy? Maybe it was a male and female attorney.

Unless he gives a really long and detailed list of interesting information I believe he’s really in deep sh*t. In fact, even with information he’s most likely in deep sh*t.

He’s got that large ‘A’ on the bandana he’s wearing.

That just screams “ANTIFA.”

And now he’s a Domestic Terrorist. Mom and Dad’s retirement funds just went out the window.

Oh, and the Allegheny County DA wants to be Governor; so he’s going to jam this kid. It will be a very popular stance to show he’s a D who is tough on crime.

The bandana he wore is actually an “ALF” (Animal Liberation Front) bandana.
