Charged brought against 150 in riot related protests

Washington Examiner:
The top prosecutor in the nation’s capital said the Justice Department has charged 150 people in cases related to acts of violence during protests that followed the death of George Floyd.
Acting U.S. Attorney for D.C. Michael Sherwin, picked by Attorney General William Barr in mid-May after a stint as deputy attorney general for national security, revealed the number on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show Thursday evening while providing an update on the Justice Department’s law enforcement efforts tied to the demonstrations over the past five weeks.
“Under the leadership of President Trump, and the direction of the Attorney General, the United States attorney’s offices across the United States have charged to date 150 federal cases related not only to the destruction of federal property but also a litany of other crimes that really have been lost in the shuffle,” Sherwin said. “In addition to the arson cases, there are several other federal charges that a been levied across the United States ... related to murder in California, to arson throughout the United States, and destruction of properties.”
The 150 figure is a jump from the number given by Barr on month ago. The attorney general announced on June 4 that the federal government had made 51 arrests “for federal crimes in connection with violent rioting."

The Justice Department charged four men for attempting to tear down the statue of Andrew Jackson in Lafayette Square in late June. Federal prosecutors on Thursday charged and arrested Jason Charter — a "ring leader" of the leftist anarchic and socialist group Antifa — both for his role in attempting to tear down the Andrew Jackson statue and vandalizing the statue of Confederate Gen. Albert Pike.

Well, it is a good start.  Antifa has become the Brownshirts of Liberal Fascism.  They have replaced the KKK as the militant wing of the Democrat party.  One of the ways you can tell it is that Democrat politicians refuse to condemn their actions and will not even condemn the destructive riots.  They have cadre in several states and especially on the West Coast.
