A BLM protester who was arrested in Washington DC on Saturday night has also been at riots in Portland and Kenosha, police said on Monday, as they revealed they were looking into whether groups were being funded to travel to protest hot-spots.

Jeremy Vajko, 27, a Microsoft engineer, was arrested on Saturday night during violent clashes between police and protesters in the nation's capital.

The Metropolitan Police Department incident report into his arrest claims he was driving recklessly near the Hay Adams hotel and drove 'into a crowd of over one hundred individuals'.

He spent the night in jail and was released on Sunday. Prosecutors are not pursuing the case.

On Monday, police chief Peter Newsham referred to the van and said it had also been spotted in Portland and Kenosha...

In two different cities (Minneapolis? and for sure in Kenosha) I’ve seen a bright orange Charger either following or leading groups of protestors.

"...spray-painted van driven in Portland, Kenosha, and Washingtom, D.C..."

Not to mention keeping that junker running with gasoline, oil, coolant, washer fluid, tires, wipers, and other typical vehicle maintenance.
There is sophisticated financial support hiding in the shadows.

“Microsoft engineer”?
*************************
Jeez, I wonder why Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella would keep this guy on the payroll and not replace him with an H1B import from India? He certainly wouldn’t want to be subsidizing foot soldiers engaging in campaigns to destroy America, would he? I wonder how many others like this one Microsoft is subsidizing.

Million were donated to BLM
I doubt he bought the van with his own money.

I think the content in his phone meets 4th Amendment standard of evidence.
But everyone here disagrees with me!

(BTW: I don’t even have a smartphone or any kind of cellphone.)

Police Are Looking Into Whether Groups Are Being Funded To Travel To Protest Hot-spots.

Something The Entire World Already Knows...

“He spent the night in jail and was released on Sunday. Prosecutors are not pursuing the case.”

There’s your problem right there.

They are being funded by the Beltway Bureaucracy with Brennan Bucks.

What difference does it make if the cops work so hard to identify these thugs if the local democrat DA is not going to charge them and just releases them the next day?

Follow him as he drives thru Bugtussel, Oklahoma and have the local PD get him for a tail light being out.

After that, bring the drug dogs by for a sniff. Bet they’d get high within the first 30 seconds....

Damn skippy they’re being funded to travel.

Need to bring to bear the entire weight of the federal government against the antifa/blm terrorists.

Those financing these terrorists need to be RICO’d and have all of their assets seized.

Known ringleaders need to be rounded up and sent to GITMO.

The common street thugs need to end up being stacked on street corners like the Spartans stacked the Persians at the hot gates.

“What difference does it make if the cops work so hard to identify these thugs if the local democrat DA is not going to charge them and just releases them the next day?”

Of course there’s little local police can do when their DA is a seditious traitor. These anarchists have been crossing all sorts of State Lines and need to be prosecuted Federally. Leave the Soros bought-and-paid-for DAs out of it.

I’m still not certain whose side the FBI is on though.

“Microsoft engineer”? WTF? Someone grant a leave of absence? Or remote working.

With stock options and a really good salary, it’s plausible that this was self funded, we’ll see. With a few bright exceptions that accidentally slipped out, their software has been new flavors of dog crap for the last 15 years; but it does make money.
