NY Looters Walk

| June 21, 2021

Rioters and looters in New York City caused tens of millions of dollars in property damage last June, and hundreds were arrested.

Many were caught on video with faces visible, and others posted their exploits on social media.

Most of the charges simply dismissed, while others were pled down to misdemeanors, which carry no jail time or restitution.

Charges dropped for hundreds of alleged looters in New York City

Jonathan Dienst and Courtney Copenhagen

In late May and early June 2020, looters smashed storefronts in the Bronx and Manhattan boroughs of New York City.

Many were caught on tape, some with their faces visible. Others even posted their own videos of their actions those nights on social media. Hundreds were arrested.

But a review of NYPD data by the investigative team at WNBC, the NBC owned station in New York, shows that a large percentage of the cases — particularly in the Bronx — were dismissed, and that many convictions were for counts like trespassing that carry no jail time.

“I was in total shock that everything is being brushed off to the side,” said Jessica Betancourt, who owns an eyeglass shop that was looted and destroyed along Burnside Avenue in the Bronx last June.

According to the data, 118 arrests were made in the Bronx during the worst of the looting in early June.

Since then, the NYPD says the Bronx district attorney and the courts have dismissed most of those cases — 73 in all. Eighteen cases remain open and there have been 19 convictions for mostly lesser counts like trespassing, counts which carry no jail time.

Saw this. Yeah pissed me off. Millions in damages, jobs/businesses gone, people killed.

But hey, there are several hundred armed insurrectionists from the riot of 6 Jan locked up and awaiting charges, so there is that.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
The Guided Tour Gone Wrong crew will be memory-holed because they dared to believe “The Great Lie”.

It’s a warning. Deprogram yourselves or your beneficent government will do it for you.

But yeah, get yourself some new shoes and as long as your ‘aggrieved’, no questions asked, no skin lost.

Aye kneed proff reeding klasses

Yep, you’re going to need to get yourself some…soon! Knead up some dough and make a loaf of that good crusty bread. Put down the Miller Lite, step away, go forth and drink no cheap beer no more, My Son.

Message received: As long as you’re screeching for a liberal agenda while rioting, looting or committing arson in a blue state hellhole the maggots in charge will let you slide.

If, on the other hand, you are a business owner the message is to move elsewhere and/or arm up whenever possible.

Just think how much good a few rounds of 12ga high-brass 00 buck would do toward educating some looters.

What the world neeeds now is MORE ROOF-TOP KOREANS!

Well, since the politicians in these areas have made it clear that they’re ok with burning things, might I suggest that business owners in the acquire something like this?

More effective than a 12 gauge, and think of the fun watching pantifa scatter…

It’s another approach to defensive firing!

When Biden did the $1400 stimulus earlier this year, they dropped the price of their smaller model from $1900 to $1400.. I wonder how many takers they got.. I made the mistake of asking the wife for permission, instead of begging forgiveness.. A mistake I will NOT make should they run that special again…

Or vandalism.
The spray paint vandal who painted BLM (and BML(lol))
on the walls and parking lot of the local VFW
was captured in photos and video June 2020,
identified July 2020,
and then never charged.
Blue city, red county, everything took place in the city.
The “3 hours peaceful protest”, that turned into 2 additional hours of street blocking marches.
And “only” a handful of idiots, if you buy the story from the sympthizers.

New protest coming July 2021.
Same bat location.

But those who walked into the capital, and stayed between the ropes, are still in jail, prosecuted and/or canceled from their jobs.

The Other Whitey

Don’t forget that they entered through open doors at the behest of Capitol Police officers.

MarineDad61

Check the news, guys…
Those who stayed “in the ropes” are largely out on their own recognizance.
Many aren’t even charged, and many won’t ever be charged.
The only ones “still in jail” did some egregious crap,
like fighting with DC and Capitol police,
vandalism, climbing around the interior walls,
climbing through shattered windows, walking through busted open doors,
or rummaging through offices and/or the Senate.
And even most of them are home, on low bail or personal recognizance,
awaiting the next slow step of justice.

More, most of those Capitol officers shown openly letting anyone in have been either disciplined, resigned, or charged as well.

The whole “they let me in” excuse won’t float for anyone with charges.
Just like the “Trump (or Giuliani) told me to” excuse.

MarineDad61

Don’t forget,
Leo Brent Bozell IV,
son of conservative pot stir broomstick Brent Bozell (III),
is home on low bail,
despite smashing a Capitol door glass,
climbing through a smashed out Capitol window,
and pointing a Senate balcony TV camera towards the ground,
away from the Senate chamber rooting and looting action.

It’s okay when Leftists do worse.

A preview of Lars’s socialist wet dream.

I prostrate myself before in supplication, beseeching forgiveness.

But seriously, fuck that oathbreaking dicksmoking doucheslime.

Loyal Democrats rewarded for their support of the cause.

Next time I go and loot and riot and burn shit, I’m going to be carrying one of those huge rainbow flags and wearing rainbow clothing and sashaying right out of the businesses with a grocery cart of loot.
YAY, I’m off SCOTT FREE!!!
