Professional Lefties... Protesters who destroyed property on Inauguration Day were part of well-organized groupBy Peter Hermann, Keith L. Alexander and Michael E. Miller January 21 Scores of demonstrators charged with rioting in the District on Friday were well organized, ready to confront police and prepared to violently disrupt the inauguration, according to some of the protesters and organizers. Details of the disturbances in a four-square-block area downtown that led to more than 230 arrests began emerging after protesters made their first court appearances Saturday, a process that continued through the evening as defendants were brought into D.C. Superior Court in batches of 10. Most faced a felony charge of rioting, which carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence. www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/protesters-who-destroyed-property-on-inauguration-day-part-of-well-organized-group/2017/01/21/096678c8-dfeb-11e6-ad42-f3375f271c9c_story.html

Six Journalists Arrested, Charged With Felony Rioting on Inauguration DayBy Jason Devaney, Thursday, 26 Jan 2017 11:35 AM Six journalists were arrested and slapped with felony rioting charges on inauguration day in Washington, D.C., and groups that represent the media are crying foul. According to The Guardian, six members of the media ranging from reporters and a photographer to a videographer and a producer were detained with more than 200 other people. The riots on the day President Donald Trump was sworn in left a burned-out limo, smashed windows in shops, and fires in trash cans. At times, police used pepper spray and concussion grenades to disperse the rowdy crowds. The journalists arrested, according to The Guardian, were Evan Engel (Vocativ), Alexander Rubinstein (RT America), Jack Keller (documentary producer), Matthew Hopard (freelance videographer), Shay Horse (photographer and activist) and Aaron Cantu (freelance journalist and activist). www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Journalists-media-protest-inauguration-day/2017/01/26/id/770556/
