Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) is demanding to know why the Justice Department dropped a charge of arson against a man who attempted to ignite a New York Police Department vehicle on fire during the George Floyd riots in 2020.
In June 2020, Victor Sanchez-Santa, then a 19-year-old resident of Queens, was arrested and charged by the DOJ for one count of arson after allegedly lighting a cloth glove on fire and placing it under an NYPD vehicle before leaving the scene. According to an NYPD detective’s affidavit, the crime was caught on surveillance video.
Sanchez-Santa made national headlines regarding the alleged arson, including in The Washington Post, The Washington Times, The Associated Press, NBC New York, New York Post, and New York Daily News.
Three months later, Sanchez-Santa was indicted for arson by a grand jury. Arson carries a minimum mandatory sentence of five years in prison and a maximum sentence of 20 years. more
That’s because he was on their payroll.

THANKS MITCH!
For those not paying attention last year; had it not been for mitch’s “leadership” Garland would not be A.G.!
Bush Republican Mitch. — “What a guy!”!
What a silly question. Who does Banks think he is talking about, a parent criticizing a school board?
Lick harder! I hear banjos!
When you condone/excuse/reward criminality……
You get more criminality……
Maximum sentences with no parole……and
burning, hanging and/or ventilating a few murderers will solve this problem…..preferably in the town square.
Criminally corrupt smellocrat party louse
MERRICK GARLAND
refuses to even investigate an
attempted homicide riot arson while he still
attempts to create a frame-up regarding jan/6.
And the Lord god Obama nearly
put him on the court.
As a firefighter, I always regarded arsonists as attempted murderers who were specifically trying to murder me and my brothers and sisters, because sometimes that’s exactly what happened. Arsonists always have a surprise that will change the way the fire moves, usually do multiple sets so it becomes a conflagration pretty quickly, sometimes rig something specifically designed to injure people trying to stop their creation, and have been known to join the crowd to thrill as they watch their fire burn and get off on asking nearby firefighters for information. Arsonists always have evil intent, and one of the few Democrat statements I ever agreed with was Chicago Mayor Dailey ordering the police to shoot arsonists during the 1968 riots.

…made for a pretty awkward conversation when a confused mother showed up at the wrong station and asked me if this was where the Juvenile Firesetters (diversion program) was…
Merrick garland is a monster. He may look and act like a milk toast pussy, but it’s just an act. He’s a monster.
