US Attorney in Oregon Shows How To Handle Rioters in Legal Process — 74 Indicted for Their Crimes

[pipedreams]

"One amusing aspect I reported on at the time the federal charges were being filed was the fact that the “supervised release” conditions — the “bail” process in federal court — imposed on the rioters charged in federal court prohibited them from participating in further demonstrations.  A violation of a release condition can result in immediate re-arrest followed by detention in custody pending trial.  This likely added to the reluctance of some protesters from continuing with their activities at the Courthouse."

Poor babies they are just mostly peacefully protesting and do not deserve such draconian sentencing

Violent rioting and vandalism under the guise of protesting can be a federal crime.

Most significant was their agreement with the Trump Administration that the Oregon state and local law enforcement would clean out the Antifa/BLM staging areas in the parks and streets surrounding the Courthouse, where the rioters maintained their logistical base of support for the nightly attacks on the Courthouse.

Being indicted on federal charges that could result in many months or years in federal prison for the exact same conduct drives the decision-making to probably avoid risking federal prosecution by staying away from the federal building and federal agents.

the vast majority of cases that have been filed in Oregon state court by the local District Attorney who announced that his office would not even consider filing charges in connection with most arrests made during the protesting.  Cases he has filed have largely been dismissed or resulted in simply misdemeanor convictions that do little to dissuade the rioters.  The fact that the location for the rioting moved to the suburbs of Portland, away from the jurisdiction and “eyes” of federal prosecutors tells you the value placed on the “non-prosecution” policy adopted by the local district attorney.  Getting arrested and spending a night in jail — when no charges actually develop therefrom — is a minor inconvenience for rioters.

Portland is getting what they collectively deserve. That place is a hellhole run by the most corrupt and backwards people you can find in that state without going to the capitol building itself.
