Journalists arrested and charged with felony rioting. Six journalists were arrested while covering Donald Trump's inauguration in Washington. The journalists were charged with felony rioting. The journalists are: Evan Engel of Vocativ, Alexander Rubinstein of RT America, documentary producer Jack Keller, freelancer Aaron Cantu and independent journalists Shay Horse and Matt Hopard. If convicted, they could be sentenced to 10 years in prison or $25,000 fines. What's interesting about the arrests and charges: None of the arrest reports for the journalists include any allegations of individual wrongdoing. Instead, the documents simply refer to large numbers of people being arrested for destroying property or violating rioting laws. Apparently, the journalists were there to report on the demonstration against Trump. And did not participate in any violent behavior. But they are still being charged with felony rioting. This story seems to reflect Donald Trump's anger with the press for what Trump calls unfair coverage. Punish the bastard press corp for refusing to bow down to Trump power. ================================ http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/21/media/se...secretary-statement/ POLITICS Journalists Covering Inauguration Protests Face ‘Felony Riot’ Charges If convicted, they could face up to 10 years in prison. 01/24/2017 05:26 pm ET | Updated 16 hours ago Hilary Hanson Viral News Editor, The Huffington Post Multiple journalists arrested while covering President Donald Trump’s inauguration in Washington have been charged with felony rioting, an accusation one of their employers called an “affront to the First Amendment.” At least six journalists were among more than 200 people arrested during anti-Trump demonstrations on Friday, The Guardian reports. Most of those people face felony rioting charges, according to CBS. As of Tuesday evening, journalists facing felony charges included Evan Engel of Vocativ, Alexander Rubinstein of RT America, documentary producer Jack Keller, freelancer Aaron Cantu and independent journalists Shay Horse and Matt Hopard. If convicted, they could be sentenced to 10 years in prison or $25,000 fines. Though many protesters at the event were peaceful, some damaged property and threw objects. At least six officers suffered minor injuries. However, none of the arrest reports for the journalists include any allegations of individual wrongdoing, according to The Guardian. Instead, the documents simply refer to large numbers of people being arrested for destroying property or violating rioting laws. Similarly, probable cause documents for Engel and Rubinstein obtained by The Huffington Post describe a large group vandalizing property and starting fires, with some people throwing objects at officers. Both documents are identical, and each state that the defendant was “arrested as part of this group.” Rubinstein tweeted numerous photos and videos from the protests Friday. After the arrest, he tweeted that cops threw a flash grenade that temporarily left him unable to see. “Cops encircled crowd when I couldn’t see; arresting everyone,” he wrote. RT said in a post about the incident that Rubinstein showed police his media credentials but was arrested anyway. Engel tweeted that he and Vocativ were fighting the charges, which Engel’s company slammed as a threat to constitutional rights. “The arrest, detainment and rioting charge against journalist Evan Engel who was covering the protests for Vocativ are an affront to the First Amendment and journalistic freedom,” a Vocativ spokesperson said in a statement sent to HuffPost. “Vocativ will vigorously contest this unfounded and outrageous charge.” Keller, Hopard, Cantu and Horse all told The Guardian they were innocent of any criminal wrongdoing. The nonprofit Committee to Protect Journalists condemned rioting charges against “at least three” of the journalists in a Tuesday release. The release referred to the arrests of Engel, Rubinstein and Cantu, though the organization noted they were still reviewing the other arrest reports. “These charges are clearly inappropriate, and we are concerned that they could send a chilling message to journalists covering future protests,” CPJ’s Carlos Lauría said in the statement. “We call on authorities in Washington to drop these charges immediately.” This story has been updated to reflect that at least six journalists currently face charges. | |

Tim Pool was also arrested but later cleared of all charged here is his AMA. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/5...t_tim_pool_founding/ If these 6 really were journalists and not participating then they will be released without charges. 1Ti 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; | |

Shia The Beef Aka Shia LeBeouf has been arrested too! It was a result of an encounter he had with a man during Shia's own Anti-Trump performance project outside the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens, NYC, on Wednesday, Jan 25th. The arrest happened at 12:30 AM, Thursday January 26th 2017. From the New York Times: ... Mr. LaBeouf got into an argument with another man at the installation, pulled off the man’s scarf and, in the process, scratched his face. The man did not need to be hospitalized, the detective said. Looks like Mr. The Beef is going to get the chair. If he's not safe then none of us are. *** This is not to make light of Trump's war against journalists, the news media, and humanity. Celebrity news is just easy on the mind sometimes. via" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://giphy.com/gifs/z9LLjyT8wQGOs">via GIPHY -D Edited on Jan 27, 2017, 09:38am | |
