Black Lives Matter protesters in Salt Lake City face Life In Prison for 'smashing windows and dousing District Attorney's office in red paint' during demonstration
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Group of demonstrators damaged the District Attorney's office in Salt Lake City during a protest on July 9

  • Prosecutors have now filed first degree felony charges against the perpetrators, meaning they face life in prison

  • Attorneys and civil rights activists have blasted the charges, saying they set a dangerous precedent for people who wish to freely protest

  • 'This is not about protest, this is about people who are engaging in criminal conduct,' Salt Lake City DA Sim Gill has stated

  • Prosecutors said the felony criminal mischief charges are more serious because they carry a 'gang enhancement'

  • Activist Madalena McNeil was asked resign from her nonprofit job and all the defendants have to post $50,000 bail

  • More than 30 people have been charged with various crimes in Salt Lake County since protests over George Floyd´s death began in late May

#4 I have no sympathy for the protestors, but this would seem to fall under 'cruel and unusual punishment'.
They'll plead it down.
