And if they are collecting unemployment or welfare then that stops and cannot collect benefits for 5 years as well.

Defending yourself from a mob - life in prison.

Chemical warfare - 60 days.

Was the DA and the Judge part of the radical Left corrupted legal system? This was attempted murder with lasting physical harm because they ambushed a police officer. They are getting nothing as a penalty and I doubt the 60 days will be cut short, as well.

Everyone of these cretins need 366 days in jail, minimum. Make them a non voting felon without ability to own firearms for life.

How does one make a "chlorine bomb?" Did these cretins know enough to make a binary device that would mix ammonia and bleach when triggered? Or did they somehow obtain gaseous chlorine and contain it until the device detonated? That sounds a little too clever for four antifa clowns, so they must have had guidance from someone.

Is Soros running training classes these days?

60 days for premeditated murder of a police officer? Using chlorine gas, which is even banned by the Geneva Convention, whose use is consider a War Crime?

I hope the injured cop gets a good lawyer, and sues those four criminals. He won’t get much. But at least it will aggravate those four.

Ammonia and bleach doesn't make chlorine but bleach plus another very common household chemical does. I won't give the recipe here (I'm a chemist, and worked for a company that produces megatons of chlorine, so have inhaled my share...nasty stuff).

Typical Gateway Pundit “click-bate journalism” that could have been written by an 8th grader for a middle school newspaper, who strings together a few semi-related internet links in the hopes of creating newsworthy story. As with most Gateway Pundit articles, the “who, what, where, when, and why” are notably absent unless the reader is willing to click a bunch of links and piece the story together on their own.

Maybe the court should have farted in their general direction.

*************

They did it in our direction. The courts are more protective of criminals than they are of law abiding citizens.

Fear of jail time will not win this war. Some of these anarchists are gonna have to pay the ultimate price. Until that happens, this will continue to escalate.

Whowhatwherewhenwhyhow, etc, without having to go to Gateway Pundit?

You won't even get it there. Journalistic standards, even from "friendly" sources, appear to be a thing of the past. Poorly written article to boot. One of the many standards in modern society that have slipped.

https://eautocheck.de/breaking/four-men-now-sentenced-for-injuring-arvada-officer-with-a-chlorine-bomb/28/

These are just tidbits I gathered last night cause lots of ppl I know were enraged about this. The DA’s name is or was Muir, but, despite looking everywhere couldn’t find the name of the judge:

Arvada police arrested four men and a juvenile in connection with a chemical bomb that injured an officer and another man in west Arvada, police said.

The five teens are accused of throwing a homemade chlorine bomb at the officer and another man, who had stopped to clear a street of a barricade made from road signs and plastic wrap, according an Arvada Police Department arrest affidavit.

Within 24 hours of the attack, Maxwell McCann, 18; Braiden Ulmer, 19; Isaac Koch, 19; Gavin Dawson, 19; and an unnamed juvenile were arrested on suspicion of first-degree assault; criminal attempt of second-degree assault; two counts of possession, use or removal of explosives or incendiary devices; and conspiracy to commit possession, use or removal of explosives or incendiary devices.

The attack happened after midnight Saturday when an officer, identified as T. Grahn, responded to a call about the barricade on Beech Street, near the intersection of West 68th Avenue.

The street signs had been pulled out of the ground and placed in the street, creating a barricade. And plastic wrap was strung across the road and attached to signs.

Grahn saw a small plastic bottle near the poles and heard a man yell “Hey, asshole,” as a person ran away, the arrest affidavit said.

As the officer grabbed his flashlight and drew his gun and began to look around, one of the callers who reported the barricade approached and helped the officer move the signs, the affidavit said.

As they were moving signs, someone threw a plastic bottle, which began to shrink and release white smoke after it hit the ground, the documents stated. Grahn also smelled chlorine.

The caller helping move the signs said he had seen someone throw a smoke bomb before police arrived.

More officers arrived to search for suspects. As Grahn was working with them, he collapsed, the affidavit said. He was diagnosed with a chlorine gas exposure at SCL Health Lutheran Medical Center. The bystander was treated at his home for minor injuries, the documents said.

While searching, police found three more bombs, and an Arvada Fire hazmat crew determined at least one of the devices was made of brake fluid and powdered chlorine, which caused the chemical reaction.

The five were identified as suspects after investigators found in a nearby field a Walmart receipt that listed ingredients purchased to make the devices. They obtained Walmart surveillance footage that showed the five suspects, according to the documents.

McCann, one of the teen suspects, told police he thought the gas from the bombs wasn’t toxic or harmful, according to the arrest affidavit.

The five are scheduled for an advisement on Friday.
Arvada Police Chief Link Strate said in a video released Monday that the police department is “grateful that our officer and the community member were not more seriously injured, although we do not yet know the long-term effects of this attack on them.”

The attack is not representative of the community, Strate said.
“We appreciate the support of our community and we take their safety and our officers’ safety very seriously,” Strate said.

The defendants, all 20, had detonated at least seven additional incendiary devices in the area, the release said.
Gavin Beret Dawson and Maxwell Cade McCann were sentenced to probation for two years, with 60 days in the jail’s Alternative Sentencing Program, which includes jail work release and in-home detention. Both men had pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree assault of a peace officer – toxic caustic device, a felony.

Braiden John Ulmer was sentenced to probation for two years, with 30 days in the jail’s Alternative Sentencing Program. He pleaded guilty to the same charge as Dawson and McCann.
Isaac Carl Koch was granted a two-year deferred judgement and sentence after pleading guilty on Dec. 9, 2019, to conspiracy to possess and explosive/incendiary device, a felony.

“These men set up an ambush for police. When the first Arvada officer arrived to clear away the road hazard, he was a fixed target for their toxic chemical bombs,” said DA Pete Weir, in the release. “These young men purchased the chemicals and plastic bottles at Walmart, mixed the bombs and then set up their targets for ambush.”

The officer suffered serious heart damage and spent months going to medical appointments and missing work. He continues to suffer the effects of the chlorine gas.
