THE ERA OF TRUMP

Third protester pleads guilty in plot to wreck Trump inaugural ball, receives no jail time

An anti-Trump protester has pleaded guilty to conspiracy for his role in plotting to shut down an inaugural ball by setting off stink bombs and sprinklers, a case brought after Project Veritas videotaped the man discussing the scheme.

Scott Ryan Charney, 34, pleaded guilty Tuesday to the misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to commit assault.

Under an agreement with prosecutors, the D.C. resident can have his criminal record expunged in six months if he completes 48 hours of community service, is not rearrested and abides by other conditions including a verbal or written apology to organizers of the targeted event, the DeploraBall.

Mr. Charney is the third of three members of the D.C. Anti-Fascist Coalition charged with conspiracy after he was captured on hidden-camera video at the Comet Ping Pong pizza parlor in Northwest Washington.

Paul “Luke” Kuhn and Colin B. Dunn, who received similar deferred sentencing agreements, were sentenced Thursday to community service but no jail time after entering guilty pleas in D.C. Superior Court on unlawful conspiracy to commit an offense.

Mr. Charney, who went by the name Scott Green in the Project Veritas video, said he wanted to ruin the DeploraBall, an inaugural fete organized by the pro-Trump group MAGA3X.

“I was thinking of things that would ruin their evening, ruin their outfits and otherwise make it impossible to continue with their plans — so they get nothing accomplished,” Mr. Charney said in the undercover video.
...
DisruptJ20, whose slogans include “no peaceful transition,” crowed last week on Twitter that “activists to serve no jail time from @JamesOKeefeIII’s failed sting operation.” Organizers for the group had said the activists in the undercover video figured out that the Project Veritas investigator was a plant and went on to discuss a false plot as a joke.

I guess that means Stickman will not go to jail either, right?

The image of that antifa getting cracked on the head by the stick, falling backwards, only to get maced by another antifa was the funniest fucking thing I have seen in a long time.


This man should be pardoned for great comedy.

Does he actually break his stick on that dude's head? Damn. I think that's probably more serious than setting off a stink bomb at a gala.

Antifa violated the NAP.

This is an interesting take from The Atlantic on how Trump's presidency has kindled the fire of political activism in the U.S. The author sees greater participation in civic life as a positive development, and I have to agree (even though I disagree with his not-so-subtle criticism of Trump's policy decisions).
