A woman who claims she took part in the toppling of the Confederate statue with a group of protesters in North Carolina has been arrested and is facing several charges. Takiyah Thompson, 22, was taken into custody on Tuesday by Durham County sheriffs deputies shortly after protesters held a news conference at North Carolina Central University where she identified herself as the person who climbed a ladder to the top to tie a rope around the monument before the crowd tore it down on Monday. She can be seen in video showing the moments before the Confederate statue was toppled. During the press conference, Thompson said that her actions were justified because Confederate statues represent white supremacy.
Authorities charged Thompson with disorderly conduct by injury to a statue, damage to real property, participation in a riot with property damage in excess of $1,500 and inciting others to riot where there is property damage in excess of $1,500
In today’s world anybody can sue anybody for anything......................winning the suit is a different matter...............
At this person’s court arraignment two of the people who assisted in the tear-down were present and arrested and charged with the same offenses as taco-ya.
Basing my judgment on her name, she will scream racism all the way to the bank!
I think with a black on the jury and a good attorney he will not be found guilty.
One could argue the cops, on site at the time, did not enforce the laws he is accused of violating. Therefore he would have believed it was not a crime.
yep.
sow the wind, reap the whirlwind
rather like getting a neck tattoo...
Nice summary of real world crime consequences.
Professor ‘Bike lock’ Clanton is also getting an education in real life.
The idiots hellbent on erasing History couldn’t pass a 9th grade civics class.
Nice to see the court system standing up to out of control mobs AND killers. Yep, rule of law applies to all protesters, all Americans... all political parties.
How quaint.
She’s a HALFRICAN like Baracki Odumba! They are HATERS because they don’t fully belong to either race. They are a vindictive, petulant and angry lot, taking their hatred out on the world.
PROSECUTE GEORGE SOROS and FREEZE HIS ASSETS.
No. Not interesting. Predictable.
Uh, pretty much all of white America since the 60s. And most recently, black criminals, druggies and thugs have been getting accolades and settlements, albeit posthumously, for getting killed while committing crimes.
We've told these animals it's not only acceptable, it's profitable to break stuff.

Exactly. Angela Davis killed a cop and she's a tenured college teacher in The People's Sewer of Kalifornia.
Amature idiots broadcasting there stupidity. Quick stupid woman cash your soros check before you get locked up....jackazz being used like a 4 cent street walker....
This is what happens when you try this stuff in a place where the police and government aren’t run by Antifa’s sponsors and creators. You actually get arrested and charged.
What makes you think she wanted a job?
I am shocked the Durham County Sheriff carried through on the arrests. He killed two birds with one stone, he got rid of a statue he obviously didnt like and arrested people who hate cops worse than they hate Confederates.
Oh, a half breed.
North Carolina Central........ nuff said
