While it may not sound like a lot, they’re getting the worst of the worst, and there really aren’t many to begin with.

Got to follow the chain of command though. Start arresting the field lieutenants giving material support. Most of them are college faculty. Should not be hard to find them as they've been online crowing about these activities for years.

A nice hefty fine of about a hundred grand each and 40 years hard labor should do.

The fine can go to fixing up the damage to the federal officers who got blinded the other night. The hard labor can be the little bastards cleaning up the streets with toothbrushes.

Are the DOJ a political wing of the Dems and are the Judges clinton obama appointments?

72 arrests are not enough, but it is a good start.

Agreed. But the article doesn't say how many of them are now out on bail and free to do this rioting again.

That’s like one arrest a day over near 60 days of riots in Portland.

I want these people executed. Every last one of them. And the younger, and whiter, they are, the better.

I was going to guess that they will be let out on bail.

My reasoning is that if they skip their court appearance, they will be wanted by the FBI.

If they skip their court appearance and are arrested again at another riot, then they are a repeat offender and a flight risk.

That should mean automatic detention.

These are kids who disregard the law, so I'm guessing they will opt for Door Number Two.

It’s a federal facility. So the whole time.

I am talking about the extra DHS LEO forces that were sent in by President Trump.
I am not talking about the judges and office clerks of the federal courts in Portland.

I expect a federal court house has their own security detail. Barr said something about “20 people” at the start. Now around 100 including Marshals I believe.

maybe, they will TALK about their paymaster and the others, who have ‘deployed’ them

I suspect that the little thugs on the front lines are double or triple isolated from any knowledge of who is paying for this and has instigated it. But with a little encouragement they will probably rat out their immediate leaders and we can go from there.

That’s how it works in the real world where police and public officials passed their ‘Criminology 101’ exam.

For as long as I can remember, there have been ‘detective stories’ and ‘cops and robbers’ programming on TV. All of them spell that out pretty clearly in their obvious, and even tedious, effort to make characters and situations come across as ‘realistic’.

Any idiot with even the most rudimentary comprehension and recall knows THAT’S how crooks and other stupid criminals ‘spill’ in exchange for consideration on charges and sentences.

Ya gotta start somewhere! Considering communities’ efforts, risk and expense associated with catching the foot soldiers, I hope these detainees don’t get treated like jay-walkers.
