My guess, since this is the Trump “Administration” is that they will posthumously charge Heyer with damaging Fields Jr’s car…

So, how many counter-protesters did they arrest in order to manufacture their false equivalence?

How far have we fallen when it’s almost a surprise that at least one part of our federal law enforcement apparatus appears to be working and relatively free of political tampering by Trump? At least, so far…

I’m surprised that everyone who’s commented so far seems to think there will be charges directed against any of Spanky’s militia.

I thought he was just going to pay their legal fees.

It took over a year for the FBI to investigate and charge hate rioters.
The FBI has less than a week to investigate a lifetime SCOTUS nominee of multiple accusations.

Got it.

The artcle has been updated. 4 nazis charged, no counterprotestors charged.

Now let’s see if pressure on them can turn up anything that shows the groups planned for violence to occur, and shared resources for planning and coordinating their ‘presence’.

Cuz man, I’d love RICO prosecutions to come out of this. Those investigations turn over every stone.

““made various admissions about committing acts of violence””

But. But Sean Hannity said yesterday that Bad Crunk frat boy Kavanaugh was being “viciously pummeled” by the left and it’s all the “violence” happening in the restaurants by ANTIFA?

White was captured grabbing “a non-violent counter-protester” and “head-butt[ing] a clergyman.”

He seems nice :roll_eyes:

This is good. It’s been getting creepy around here and I think it helps to be sending the message that there will be consequences if people show up to physically assault people at events because this was starting to seem like it wasn’t a clear outcome for such actions.
