It's Going Down, Antifa. Uncle Sam Just Started Delivering Payback for Terror Riots

[PJMedia] The Department of Justice has filed what looks to be the first tranche of charges against violent antifa protesters from coast-to-coast following weeks of rioting following the killing of George Floyd by police. As Antifa itself would say, “it’s going down.”

From La Mesa, Calif., Minneapolis, Austin, and Dallas to Baton Rouge, Philly, St. Paul, and Tacoma, Wash., more than 50 people have been indicted on various charges.


Conspicuously absent in this wave of indictments is anyone from Portland, Ore., arguably the area most seeded with members of the group designated as domestic terrorists by the Trump Administration. Rioters there attacked the Justice Center. They were back Saturday night to finish the job.

No one from Seattle’s black bloc-outfitted terrorists or the Republic of CHAZ was named in these indictments, either.

CHARGES AGAINST ANTIFA
Attorney General Bill Barr and U.S. Attorneys across the nation charged suspects for more than 40 violent crimes, which CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge put out on Twitter.


Among the crimes being pursued are:

  • Crossing state lines for purposes of riot

  • Throwing Molotov cocktails

  • Torching cop cars

  • Looting gun stores and pharmacies

  • Online threats against cops

  • Arson

  • Shining lasers in eyes of police helicopter pilots

  • Bringing guns to a riot

#2 About 3 and a half years late. What did you do to all the rioters at the Inauguration in 2017? Charged them and then released them. That certainly taught them. One of the reasons you send people up to the big house is 'pour les encourager les autres'. Now we inherit the consequences of your failure.

#3 Too bad Barr's name was mentioned at the end of the article. I would have stopped reading sooner.

Welp.

Also, it's not clear to me that anyone actually in Auntie Fay was indicted, so the headline seems misleading.

#6 What did you do to all the rioters at the Inauguration in 2017?

Acting Attorney General at the time was Sally Yates. 'Nuff said.

#7 ...so they didn't have a judge who appoints another judge to determine if the government could drop the cases? Asking for a friend.
