Portland, Oregon - The U.S. Attorney in Oregon announced federal charges Tuesday against seven protesters who are accused in court papers of defacing a federal courthouse and assaulting federal officers during protests in Portland, Oregon against racial injustice and police brutality.
The protesters are charged with offenses ranging from disorderly conduct to destruction of federal property and assaulting a federal officer and were released pending trial after a brief court hearing Monday.

A sworn affidavit included in court filings says that during an interview after his arrest, Olsen said he was not near the courthouse door and said a Federal Protective Service officer smashed the glass with a fist.
Four of the seven people arrested are from the Portland metropolitan area. One is from Oceanside, California, one from Seattle and one from Eugene, Oregon.
Demonstrators are also accused of shining laser beams in the eyes of federal officers, assaulting officers with a shield and destroying a security camera.

If sleepy Joe gets in, they will all have the charges dropped, or if they have already been convicted, they will all get presidential pardons.
They are probably all flight risks. How many will defect to Cuba, and I dont mean Gitmo?
I would rather they face a firing squad.
Perpetual “facing charges” and never entering prison.
DOJ will plea bargain down to charges of spitting on the sidewalk and creating a nuisance, just like they do with traitors who give away defense secrets to our enemies.
Me too.
Those idiots don’t realize that *federal* buildings are not in the jurisdiction of their weak mayor and governor, but of President Trump, the Attorney General and the The United States Marshals Service, Judicial Security Division.
In other words, while allowed to harass the animals in the zoo that is Portland, by its indifferent caretakers, these idiots decided to bust into the big cats exhibit to show those lions and tigers who is boss.
And guess what, it ain’t them.
And unless they are really lucky in their draw of federal magistrate judge they get, they may soon become very familiar with the inside of a federal penitentiary.
