Actual, legitimate protests over the Goorge Floyd killing lasted a day or two. Since then, we've seen a coordinated, sustained campaign of violence and intimidation carried out by mostly white Antifa terrorists.

Jesse Taggart, a 33-year-old Salt Lake City resident, was booked at the Utah County Jail on charges of attempted aggravated murder, aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury, rioting, threatening use of a weapon in a fight or quarrel, criminal mischief, and firing a weapon near a highway.

Police also booked 27-year-old Ogden resident Samantha Darling on charges of obstruction of justice and rioting.

The Provo Police Department also said the investigation is still ongoing. The department is looking into other criminal activities at protest events last night and asked for people with information regarding persons who damaged vehicles to send tips to Detective Nick Patterson at npatterson@provo.org

I can think of nothing as useless as "protesting the death of George Floyd" or "demanding justice for George Floyd" at this point. The officers have been arrested and charged and Floyd's body has been buried. This is a revolt against law and order now.

I think this is the first time I have seen a Presstitute not call the RIOTS a Peaceful Protest??

They need to have the white guilt bitch-slapped out of them.

More beans, Mr Taggart?

[marktwain]

Anyone find any presence on social media?

[TeleStraightShooter]

This BLM event far surpassed the what is considered in Utah as a “peaceful protest”, even by media standards.

Oppressed, obviously. Is that her stripper name?

I’d say you’ve had enough!

[hecticskeptic]

There were actually two thugs with guns no? I assume that this was the guy who shot through the passenger side when the car was basically stopped as opposed to the guy who shot at the car from behind when it pulling away?

[reintarnation]

Yes. Police still searching for second gunman.

[FroedrickVonFreepenstein]

Yes you can find their info pretty readily.
