This is a good way to curtail the anti-American Left’s violence. Make the perpetrators pay.
A total of 209 individuals have been indicted for rioting in downtown Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Day, according to media reports.
The 209 figure includes the 146 already indicted on felony rioting charges for setting fires, destroying property, and other mayhem to protest the swearing-in of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.
Note that rioters are rarely charged with felonies. Typically they face misdemeanor charges, if that. A ticket and a slap on the wrist isn’t much of a deterrent to future rioters.
“Of the 230 people arrested and charged with felony rioting connected with Inauguration Day, 209 have now been indicted,” reports WJLA-ABC7 in Washington. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office also dismissed the felony rioting charges against Michael Adkins, John Baker and Jesse Schultz. These three are among the 12 cases that have been dismissed.”
The authorities continue to investigate what happened on Jan. 20.
