Eight Pennsylvanians have been federally charged with criminal activity during protests in downtown Pittsburgh at the end of May, U.S. Attorney Scott Brady said Wednesday.
Prosecutors allege the charged people engaged in violent demonstrations on May 30 as others peacefully demonstrated as part of protests over the police-involved death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
"Throwing [improvised explosive devices] IEDs and bricks at police officers, throwing projectiles at and striking police horses, and setting police cruisers on fire are not the protected First Amendment activities of a peaceful protest; they are criminal acts that violate federal law," Brady said in a statement. "We will continue to identify and prosecute these agitators, whose acts of violence hijacked a lawful protest and undermined a message of equality with one of destruction."
George Allen, Nicholas Lucia, Andre Augustyniak-Duncan and Raekwon Dac Blankenship were each charged with one count of obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder.

Get the damned governor and his drag queen Secy of Health too. Then the mayor of Philly, their District Attorney Krashnar the commie, and put up a statue of Chief of Police Rizzo dead-center downtown.
