Two activists accused of throwing a red powder on the U.S. Constitution display case at the National Archives last month are now facing felony charges, the Justice Department (DOJ) announced Friday.
Donald Zepeda, 35, of Maryland, and Jackson Green, 27, of Utah, were charged with felony destruction of government property for dumping the fine red powder all over the display case in an indictment that was unsealed in District Count on Thursday, per the DOJ.
Conservationists worked to clean up the building’s rotunda after the protestors dumped the powder as part of a stunt intended to draw attention to climate change. The cost of cleaning up the powder has already exceeded $50,000 and closed the rotunda for four days, the DOJ said.
The Associated Press was granted access to the rotunda, where employees were cleaning the pinkish-red powder from the “nooks and crannies” of the document’s protective housing. Crews were hesitant to use water or liquids to clean the powder since they did not know what it consisted of.

Don’t report on the story. You may end up getting arrested by the FBI and found guilty of saying things they don’t like. This is a civil war that finds content messaging as the weapon of choice.

Indeed 10 years
Dumping the powder on to the Constitution has nothing to do with climate change it’s about destroying Americas foundation of liberty communists never sleep.

I’m glad it’s only on the case and not the Constitution itself.
I think a five year stay with the J6R’s would be called for.

While they are at it, fire those fake security guards who stood by and watched.

Depending on the offense, that’s often more humiliating than painful; and it’s short-lived misery.
I think these ones need jail.

They hate the Constitution, then maybe execute without a Constitutional trial?

But congress, Biden, the DOJ, and the judiciary trashing it daily is just fine.

Here's the "Global Warming" that they SHOULD be concerned about:
For the "Global Warming" crowd who know not the Scriptures - this time with more emphasis
2 Peter 3:10-13
King James Version
10 But the Day of the Lord will come as a Thief in the Night; in the which the Heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the Earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the Day of God, wherein the Heavens being on Fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for New Heavens and a New Earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Peter%203%3A10-13&version=KJV

Hey, it’s only the “Constitution”. It’s not like they put their feet up on Nancy Pelosi’s desk, for gosh sake.
