PM: On Tuesday, a Tacoma, Washington, woman was sentenced in US District Court in Seattle to five years in federal prison for arson after she was convicted of burning five Seattle Police vehicles during a violent May 30, 2020, Black Lives Matter riot.
During the sentencing hearing for 26-year-old Margaret Aislinn Channon, US District Judge John C. Coughenour said Channon’s conduct had done “tremendous damage to Black Lives Matter in Seattle,” according to the Department of Justice.
“The right to protest, gather, and call out injustices is one of the dearest and most important rights we enjoy in the United States,” said US Attorney Nick Brown.
“Indeed, our democracy depends on both exercising and protecting these rights. But Ms. Channon’s conduct was itself an attack on democracy. She used the cover of lawful protests to carry out dangerous and destructive acts, risking the safety of everyone around her and undermining the important messages voiced by others,” he continued. more
It’s a start. Crickets from corporate media (local and nationals), of course.
It’s gonna be funny when that prog white bitch goes to prison and gets her ass beat the darkees she thinks will treat her like royalty.
It tickles my fancy but has yet to satisfy my soul.
….Sitting back and expecting the worse while hoping for the best.
Bull pucky. A lot of the so called peaceful BLM protestors were knowingly and actively providing cover to violent criminal elements.
Nice hands. My 74 year old manual labor hands look better than hers. Hope she appreciated that the price of gas for her Molotv Cocktails was pretty cheap under President Trump. She couldn’t afford to make them now thanks to the Vegetable-in-Chief.
In jail she’ll be a bigger burden on society than she was on the outside. Free room and board, medical and dental that’s probably than the general population.
Good. Now do the organizers.
“US District Judge John C. Coughenour said Channon’s conduct had done “tremendous damage to Black Lives Matter in Seattle,” ”
She didn’t do those cop cars which the tax-payer is on the hook for any good, either, you fucking idiot. Who gives a shit about Burn Loot Murder’s reputation?!
Do not rule out a pardon.

This is why we need boxcars.
Because “patriots” ignore walls.
