In a filing, prosecutors have said that they are currently extracting data from locked phones seized from over 100 alleged rioters:
In new filings, prosecutors told a court in Washington, DC that within the coming weeks, they expect to extract all data from the seized cellphones of more than 100 allegedly violent protesters arrested during the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Prosecutors also said that this search is validated by recently issued warrants. [...] "All of the Rioter Cell Phones were locked, which requires more time-sensitive efforts to try to obtain the data," Jennifer Kerkhoff, an assistant United States attorney, wrote.

Interesting thing about leftist support for political violence in the streets...
Something that always held back right wing death squads in the USA was "we don't do stuff like that in the USA" but now that its normalized by the other side, good times are ahead.
Remember there was a lot of left wing violence in the streets in Germany during the Wiemar era. I have to congratulate the modern day leftists for keeping us faithfully on the path to better times. Almost makes you wonder who's working for who...

Deathsquads do not happen at first. Socialist Brownshirts used intimidation and threats at first too. Even the Antifa logo LOOKs like one of the of the logos used before WW2. The dudes organizing it are laughing at how ignorant everyone is about it.
It would take only a nudge to turn BLM and Antifa into deathsquads. You know it to be true. Do not play 'oh but its not' games with us. These people are as fake american as it gets.

No such thing, we do not condone these totalitarian assholes.

Glorified football hooligans justify death squads? You sir are unhinged. Get help.

If I was a conspiracy nutter, I'd say the antifa are working for the Heritage Foundation. The SJWs are doing a better job at promoting the right than anyone on the republican side these days.

Man, 30 rounds is really going to stress that mag spring. Maybe 28 (max)? Unless you really do rotate them and exercise them regularly.
