Six journalists could spend up to 10 years in prison after being arrested during protests against President Donald Trump's inauguration.
The Guardian identified the journalists as freelancer Aaron Cantú; Vocativ senior producer Evan Engel; Jack Keller, producer for the online documentary Story of America; independent journalists Matt Hopard and Shay Horse; and RT America reporter Alex Rubinstein.
The group was charged under a District of Columbia statute penalizing "every person who willfully incited or urged others to engage" in a riot causing more than $5,000 in property damage with the potential 10-year prison sentence and a fine of up to $25,000. More than 200 people in total were arrested the day of the 20 January 2017 inauguration; they were reportedly arraigned the following day and will be back in court in February and March.
[...] Another independent journalist and documentarian, Tim Pool, said on Twitter that he and two NBC News journalists were also arrested during the 20 January 2017 demonstrations but released without charges. Pool said that a supervising officer told him "no less than three times" that they were under arrest. NBC News has not responded to our request for comment regarding Pool's account.

I was for Bernie and I don't remember seeing a single post of yours here under Obama throwing Fascist Godwins...checks history...nope only when someone on the right comes in do you wet your panties and start screaming Hitler.
I repeat grow the fuck up put on your big boy pants and actually do something other than whining like a little bitch and DEMAND that the rotten to the core identity politic wall street dick sucking cabal at the DNC be thrown to the curb so actual decent candidates like Bernie won't have the elections rigged against them.
Or keep Godwinning and acting like a spoiled brat and enjoy the next decade plus of right wing rule because the public is sick of the histrionics and baby fits of the left.
ACs are never seen so don't bother. Always ready to show SJWs for the racists they are.

Hugs and kisses, perhaps you should get a foot rub, sounds like your hairy feet could use one. "Histrionics and baby fits of the left", perhaps you haven't been paying any attention to how Trump handles criticism, or the rabid fits thrown by the right. Histrionics is a bipartisan issue, and I'll stop bringing up Hitler as soon as Trump stops mimicking Hitler's rise to power.
The radicals on the left and right both need to grow up, but save your condescension for someone that deserves it. As for a decade plus of right wing rule, we shall see how the next election pans out. "The public" that elected Trump happens to be in the minority, I love how you stalwart Trump defenders keep ignoring that irksome fact. Trump still has almost 4 years to make good on his promises, we shall see if he helps the US or harms it. If he does well, then perhaps we'll have more Trump time, but currently it looks like he's pissing off a lot of people.
Or keep Godwinning and acting like a spoiled brat and enjoy the next decade plus of right wing rule because the public is sick of the histrionics and baby fits of the left.
Your points about the DNC are valid, your delivery is that of a condescending jerk. With policies targeting specific groups of people, and not even the correct ones, Trump is 100% starting on the same path as Hitler, and as I said I will stop making the comparison when it stops being valid. Check my history better, perhaps some of my anti-obama comments were made as an AC since I don't usually log in from my phone. I was an Obama supporter for maybe his first year or two, then I saw him for what he is, a fascist hiding behind a slick feel-good persona. He doesn't quite compare to Hitler as a leader, he was much more reasonable and diplomatic. He's still a fascist pig-dog who droned US citizens. His joke about droning some guy who wanted to date his daughter made me feel sick. Here's another, Obama is like the less murderous and more agreeable version of Hitler. That make you feel better? Or do you need to scream at me over the net some more because I made another Nazi comparison?
