Far-left journalist among 4 charged in BLM firebombings
Renea Baek Goddard
Not her first rodeo, either; more on that in the article. Other undated sources say she’s an aspiring journalist and community activist in Little Rock, Arkansas. Also stated is she attends the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Her list of achievements reads like The Essential Liberal’s Starting Set, and I’m sure she’s sincere and means well.
But arson? Overplayed that one; here come the Feds.
“Breaking into a police compound and firebombing a police vehicle … is clearly not a peaceful protest,” a federal prosecutor said
By Dom Calicchio
A far-left journalist working in Arkansas was among four suspects formally charged last week in connection with the firebombings of police vehicles during Black Lives Matter protests during the summer, according to reports.
Federal authorities alleged that Renea Baek Goddard, 22, was associated with a group that tossed Molotov cocktails toward Little Rock Police Department vehicles on Aug. 25 as a large crowd demonstrated outside the department’s 12 Street Substation, the Post-Millennial reported.
The four suspects were arrested following a months-long investigation by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the report said, citing a Dec. 17 news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
“Today’s arrests send a message that violence targeted toward law enforcement will not be tolerated,” U.S. Attorney Cody Hiland stated in the release, according to FOX 16 of Little Rock. “Breaking into a police compound and firebombing a police vehicle with a homemade explosive device is clearly not a peaceful protest.”
At 22 she should be well past the “doing stupid shit” phase and act responsibly. Since it seems that part of her education is lacking, she’ll have it force fed. Read the entire article here: Fox News

Dude, you been away too long. Youth and a decent rack is about all there is.
She just needs to start her tongue exercises to prepare for all her late night dates.
I can imagine that all charges will be dropped and she will be given a hmanitarian award as soon as kommie harrylegs is in office as the 25’th amendment is used to get rid of biteme.
At which point the insufferable larsie-boi will come here an gloat about how we troglodyte conservatives should accept the overthrow of the Constitution and pay homage to his/hers/its magnanimity….
Please twitter that puke, we are all sick of his stupid dinosaur brain and big cock holster mouth.
With all due respect, T’under, I find his brand of lapdogery and utter denial of logic quite amusing.
One day, when his ‘revolution’ fails as its bound to do, he’ll be left in a pile of ruin of his own making.
That’ll be the sweetest delight he will ever serve.
Or he’ll double down and go kinetic, hopefully only harming himself.
Don’t worry about her she can still get tenure at Columbia, MU or Berkeley. She has met all the prerequisites.
Will she be able to apply as soon as she makes parole?
Probably has a book deal enroute from the same group of criminals that hooked up; Hilary, BHO, Comey, Manning, Rice, etc.
Soros will probably top off her commissary on the reg too.

“A mind is a terrible thing to waste” seems to apply to her.
It appears there is a common misspelling now days of the words activist or criminal with the word journalist.
I wonder who she’ll be “married” to first once she’s in prison, “Wicked Wanda”, “Rude Rhonda”?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Strap-on Sally…
I thought Wicked Wanda was in Penthouse, not prison. (smile)
Now, regarding this . . . individual. Assuming she’s guilty, hopefully she’s convicted and the judge decides to make an example of her – and gives her the max.
In a way, it’s a pity it wasn’t a Federal office she (allegedly) tried to torch. If it was, as I recall that crime carries a minimum multi-year mandatory prison sentence – 5 years, I think.
At least the charges are federal since they were investigated by “federal investigators” and the charges brought to a federal magistrate by a federal prosecutor. That should be good enough for some serious sentences.
No parole either. Five years is five years. Never going to happen though. Once KH is in office they will pop her loose.
Hunter will want a piece of that…

I tried to find her actual charges but couldn’t.
The reporting on this is abysmally poor.
They just regurgitate the line “was associated with a group that tossed Molotov cocktails…“
The passive voice, and the lack of a specific charge is pretty useless information. And it seems to have come from the ATF press release.
Anyway, I am not defending her, I am just curious what her actual charges are.
When the government charges political activists it is important they are transparent and clear of the charges.
This kind of passive voice vague press release was written by someone who should be working for the Kremlin or CCP.
Authoritarians govern by making the laws concerning dissent activities and elements of politics related crimes vague and up to the authorities to determine. That way citizens have no idea what is legal and what is not legal. No idea what their political rights actually are. No idea where the line between political dissent and criminal activity is.
This causes people to fear participating in or “associating” with anyone involved in political dissent.
In essence the government uses fear and uncertainty to control rather than using the law itself.
Let me be very clear; I AM NOT DEFENDING HER ACTIONS. I AM NOT SAYING SHE DIDN’T COMMIT A CRIME….
What triggered me is that the press release does not make it clear what her actions were and what crime she committed…
Only that she was associated with people that firebombed the police vehicles…
Clearly she was charged with a crime, and to be charged the feds must have probably cause to believe she committed actions that met the elements of a SPECIFIC crime or crimes, and they must believe they have enough evidence to prove those charges beyond a reasonable doubt in court….
Yet the nitwit that drafted the press release wrote vague allegations of being “associated with a group”…
I fucking hate when governments use vague language like that when arresting political activists.
By charging people and saying it is for “associating with” they
*“Probable cause”… not “probably cause”.
Also, ignore that last line. It was part of a paragraph I deleted.
You don’t know the old adage, ” When you hang out with dogs, don’t be surprised if you get fleas “?
Perhaps that is what happened here…guilt by association.
I actually think she was likely more criminally involved…
I suspect preparing, lighting, handing out, or even throwing Molotov cocktails… since I remember images of her being pretty actively and directly involved in the street activities.
I am just pissed they didn’t bother to say what her charges are since in order for her to be charged they must know specifically what crimes she committed.
1. Open the Fox News link above (Go ahead, it won’t bite. And we won’t tell your friends you were there).
2. Read (you can do it) down the article until you see a link for “a Dec 17 news release”.
3. Read the news release.
Which contains:
“The charges in today’s unsealed Complaint include malicious destruction of property belonging to an entity receiving federal funding, conspiracy to commit those acts, and possession of a destructive device.”
Good call and catch SFC D.
In addition: “Renea Goddard, accused of being part of the Molotov-throwing trio, is a left-wing journalist. She was previously arrested and charged with obstructing governmental operations while violating curfew at a BLM protest on June 2. Her next court proceeding for the local charge is scheduled for Jan. 22.”

Pictures at the Post Millennial of the four are ummmmm…..”interesting.”
“Authoritarians govern by making the laws concerning dissent activities and elements of politics related crimes vague and up to the authorities to determine.

And with that, you just described every gun law in the country…
Not every law.
But certainly the current anti-firearm legislative regime in general.
“I tried to find her actual charges but couldn’t.”
Well, try typing her name into Google and delimiting the results to site:.gov

“The reporting on this is abysmally poor.”
LOL
I actually agree. “Reporting” in general is abysmally poor, partly for the very reasons you state. Why should this story be held to a higher standard than the NYT or Wash. Post?
Took me .0024 google seconds to find the charges. Amazing what technology can do. I hear someday you will be able to watch TV on your computer and pay for stuff with your phone. I bet it is just talk though.

Wait…I thought one of the mandates of Obumble Care was you get to do stupid shit until you turn 26.
No, it was that healthy low healthcare cost people under 26 must maintain insurance in order to subsidize the exceedingly high average health care costs of the over 60s.
That was literally the central theory of Obama Care. Profitable (for the insurance industry) young people are forced to pay into the healthcare insurance market so that insurance companies could afford to provide insurance to high cost geriatric people at a rate (unprofitable for insurance companies) that the boomers could afford.
That is why there was an individual mandate.
You do realize that the requirement for individual coverage under Obamacare ends when an individual becomes covered by Medicare – right? And that the vast majority of people eligible for Medicare are in the “over 60s” age group? (By definition, “over 60s” means they’re 70 or older.)
Here’s why that matters: unless someone covered by Medicare has a Medicare supplement or maintains other private health insurance, insurance companies don’t pay anything for their healthcare. (The exception is Medicare Part D – which is only about 20% of Medicare’s overall cost.) Further, Medicare is funded from Medicare taxes funneled through the so-called Medicare “Trust Fund” – not from general Federal receipts.
And you can bet that insurance companies set rates to ensure that they don’t lose money on Medicare Part D and Medicare supplements. Unlike the government, they do have to worry about going broke.
Sheesh.
Remember, Hondo. This is the same guy who recently said AOC was an excellent economist and was far more knowledgeable than we mere mortals are.
Wow, you clearly didn’t understand what I wrote.
The point is that the individual mandate was to get highly profitable young healthy people to buy into the exchanges to subsidize the healthcare of unprofitable “usually much older” unhealthy people so the insurance companies will cover them and still maintain profits.
The profits of people age 18-26 that are. It covered by other insurance who would originally not buy insurance because their low risk age…
Is almost exactly the amount needed to cover those over 60 not covered by Medicaid, Medicaid, or employer insurance.
And the entire point of the individual mandate was to get profitable people, to buy into the market to expand affordable coverage to unprofitable people.
It is not that fucking complicated, Hondo,
“ The profits of people age 18-26 that are. It covered by other insurance who would originally not buy insurance because their low risk age…”
Why would “healthy people 18-26” pay for others???????
Especially when they are of the “what’s in it for me?” Age???
NM, I don’t care about your BS!
Those over 60 not covered by Medicare/Medicaid are only a relatively small fraction of those over 60 – specifically, lsomewhere around 27-30%, Commissar Durak. And I’ll go out on a limb here and say that it’s quite likely that the majority of them are covered by either Medicaid or by for-profit private health insurance provided by firms which (presumably) operate on at least a “break-even” basis to avoid banckrupcy.
Plus, healthcare costs don’t go up dramatically starting at age 60. It’s generally that last handful of years in a person’s life during which healthcare costs skyrocket.
The average US male nonsmoker in their 60s can expect to live into their 80s today; ditto a US female (though somewhat longer on average than males). This in turn means that Medicare pays the vast majority of that “extremely high” cost of healthcare for those over 60 – not “insurance companies”.

Understanding that isn’t that f-ing complicated.
Well, it’s not that complicated unless you’re a “true believer” as well as a durak. In that case, perhaps understanding reality is rather . . . difficult. In that case the combination of cognitive dissidence and lack of intellect might come into play.
But… but… it’s a LARSFACT, therefore it must be true!
Someone needs to make a serious effort to pull his head out of his ass…
He is such a cretin, he apparently doesn’t know that everyone that turns 65 must sign up for Medicare or suffer a substantial financial penalty, which is automatically deducted from one’s Social Security payment. The only exceptions are for people who are still working and have employer supplied healthcare insurance. Thus, people 61 to 64 are the only ones not covered by Medicare.
So, the commie cuttlefish is oblivious of the fact that a large majority of us who are “over 60” are not insured at the expense of cretins like him. And we might add we have been paying Medicare deductions for decades since the program was started, but with no benefit until 65. Many of our cohort died without getting a nickel of benefit from those payroll deductions.
HERE you go using logic, facts and common sense knowing that Major Moonbat is heavily allergic to all of them!
Stupid me forgot the sarc tag. But I definitely am over 26 so I have no excuse. 😉
It looks like the use of deadly force in most states penal codes in stopping someone from fire bombing a building will be taken off the code for rioters regardless of the type of building.
It is entirely up to each state legislature.
Not in this case.
The laws the four are being charged with are federal crimes – not state or local.
Obamas kids might be learning about reasonability/accountability for actions.
Arson is a “general intent” crime. She can’t start a fire (or help start one) and then claim no intent to do harm. See the sisterfucking whiskey-tango cocksucker Raymond Lee Oyler for a good precedent (and fuck Gavin Newsom for halting the fucker’s execution).
Throw the book at the bitch and all of her accomplices. It’s a shame to see someone so young piss their life away, but some people are put on this Earth purely to serve as an example to others of what not to do.
She, and her cohorts, have been charged with malicious destruction of property belonging to an entity receiving federal funding, conspiracy to commit those acts, and possession of a destructive device.
Can’t seem to find the exact federal criminal codes being applied.

Regardless, flinging moltov cocktails about should be punishable by flogging and walking the plank.

The Molotov is a Destructive Device and is an explosive or incendiary device as defined by blahblahblah. This will all get pled down to Jaywalking in the 2nd Degree because she’s a pretty Leftard and justice ain’t anymore.

She’s looking up to 20 years (10 and 10) on the possession alone, 20 for showing her idiot friends how-to and there is an alien clause in there if she taught or transferred to said alien, another 10 years.
Before we get to destruction of property that’s 50 freaking years!
I BET ALL MY WORLDLY POSSESSIONS she’ll be out in <10 on bestest behavior.
Fed time is 85% minimum. If convicted she’s getting damn near the whole ride short of a pardon or commuting of sentence.
So you’re telling me there’s a chance!

I’d bet Kamela Toe already had her staff type one up…
I’ll take that bet, but you my NOT have all my worldly possessions should you win.
Federal prosecution is not like local prosecution. Unless things have changed drastically in the past few years, once you get the feds interested enough to actually investigate and file charges, it’s pretty much a slam dunk.
Excited utterance while moderately intoxicated and under emotional distress?
Given this summer’s antics my fear is this will be a bellwether case and not in a good way.
Not suggesting that she will not get an early out because of a pardon or commutation – just saying that she will not be released for good behavior, or a pretrial watering down of the charges. At least in the past the practice was to do all that negotiating prior to charges being filed and certainly before any arraignment. Once gotten to that stage, it was locked in. Sure hope that is still the practice.
You would think my reading comprehension would be better. That’s what I get for having a public school edumacation.

(b) IDC SARC would hit that.
