TAMPA, Fla.– A Tampa woman was arrested on numerous charges by city police after she allegedly helped stoke the mayhem that followed a protest May 30.

The Tampa Police Department said 31-year-old Erica Schmidt had advertised that she had rocks and encouraged other protesters to hurl them at law enforcement officers during the protests that took place along Fowler Avenue and at University Square Mall, which later turned violent.

According to police, on Saturday, officers responded to an apartment located at 11727 12th Street and found a silver Hyundai Elantra, which matched the same car Schmidt was seen standing next to during the protests. Schmidt admitted to being present at the riots and that she and her boyfriend brought rocks to the riot, according to the arrest report. She also told officers the riot got violent to the point where her vehicle was damaged and she was beat up by fellow rioters, TPD said. She was arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, throwing a deadly missile, rioting/inciting a riot and unlawful assembly. Her bond is set at $32,250.

On the heath, there blooms a little flower

“...riot got violent to the point where her vehicle was damaged and she was beat up by fellow rioters, TPD said.”

These idiots will grab the headlines and inevitably provide cover for the vertical Marxism that no doubt reaches the upper echelons of corporate America.

I think she all of a sudden really really got “woke” about her choice of choosing rioters over the good people and the cops...
