While preparing for Tuesday Nights Radio Show I was researching the media. For fun I was reading about the arrest of the crazy body parts protesters in DC. Then "boom" news men were arrested along with a batch of anarchist / paid protesters / nuts in vagina costumes.

 

Unlike Innocent Bikers at Twinn Peaks

The Protesters Goal was violence hate of any kind

 

 

 

Here's the deal, some of those folks are real criminals who's goal is to overthrow our form of government. Bought and paid for by the likes of George Soros, BLM and even the DNC. Although some groups do not provide funding to hire they do fan the flames of destruction and murder. Once you cross the line from a peaceful protester to rock throwing, limo burning, window smashing criminal get ready for jail, now under federal charges. We think the people who behind the scenes provide funding for these illegal activities should be held accountable for damages and in the case of police officers "murder"..

 

Here's what we should watch, journalist and some peaceful protesters got caught up in the mayhem and as they ran they ran straight into the hands of the law and federal charges, Oh Shit!

 

Mara Verheyden-Hilliard of the Partnership for Civil Justice said.

 

  "If there are people who are breaking the law, the police have the obligation to identify those persons and deal with them," she says. "They cannot turn to everyone else engaged in political activity in proximity and act against those people."

 

Hello! Where in the hell has she been?

 

Those with connections walk. 

 

Some journalists, including two from a local NBC station, one independent journalist and one from U.S. News, were allowed ultimately to leave the corralled group. The NBC journalists were told their names had been provided to a lieutenant’s superior after their boss called.

 

But other journalists -- including Vocativ producer Evan Engel, RT journalist Alex Rubinstein and reporter Aaron Cantu, who has written for VICE, The Intercept, Al Jazeera America and other outlets -- were taken to jail and charged with felony rioting, which carries a maximum 10 years in prison and a large fine.

 

Several independent journalists also were taken and charged, including a journalist who uses the handle StopMotionsolo, who covered the arrests live on Ustream, and photojournalist Shay Horse, who covers social movements across the Americas.


“I only took photos,” Horse says.

Alexei Wood, who live-streamed his detention to Facebook, was also arrested. Wood tells U.S. News he did nothing wrong.

 

Curiously, the charging papers for the mass-arrested group state a property damage estimate in excess of $100,000 and describe a big-ticket limo fire that occurred Friday afternoon in a different location and after the mass arrests took place.


All of those arrested were released as of Saturday night, but cell phones and cameras were taken as evidence. Police did not respond to a request for comment on whether they have warrants to search the electronics.

 

"Everybody who was arrested had their phone taken and across the board police have not been returning any of the cellphones or cameras," says attorney Jeffrey Light, who filed the first lawsuit. Light seeks to represent the entire class of arrestees who claim to have had their rights violated and to have not engaged in criminal behavior.


"It's hard to get in touch with everyone now because they don't have their cellphones," he says. "What happened here was excessive and unnecessary.”

 

 

Light says he’s not sure why authorities chose to charge the entire group with a felony, rather than misdemeanor rioting. Hundreds of people arrested in April 2016 in conjunction with the Democracy Spring protest were charged with various misdemeanors after requesting to be arrested; they were processed and released immediately. Light speculates police wanted more leverage to extract plea deals related to Friday’s arrests.

 

Verheyden-Hilliard says she doubts that standard can be met in the pending case. Her group is considering civil litigation on behalf of those arrested Friday, but she says hasty legal action can result in poor courtroom outcomes like the 2009 ruling. She says it’s important to meticulously document each individual’s story rather than paint a one-size-fits-all narrative, and to engage in discovery to understand the full extent of law enforcement involvement. An investigation following 2001 inauguration protests, she notes, exposed undercover police had acted as provocateurs.

"Dressing all in black is not illegal,” she adds, addressing charging documents’ description of the group as being “dressed similarly to one another” in mostly black clothing before marching as a “cohesive unit.” --- Really!


"You can't arrest people for the acts of others simply because they arguably share a political view -- that's illegal," Verheyden-Hilliard says.

 

Hello everybody, as much as I love the fact the law is finally arresting those that are actually trying to destroy our county, real criminals! It pisses me and should piss you off to see that this mirrors Twinn peaks in so many ways. The one exception would be they weren't held in captivity for over a month and under million dollars bonds.

 

They are now moaning about cell phones, fucking light weights.

 

The difference being innocent Bikers At Twnn Peaks were there for a ligament political meeting, they were not rioting, destroying property or plotting to overthrow the government. The Law could have prevented the whole thing simply by showing themselves. Bikers arrested for what they wear wearing and being in the proximity of a fight in the parking lot....

 

Respect,

 

Popeye
