So far only 3 have been charged with the toppling of Silent Sam vandalism. One of these three also toppled a statue in Durham, NC - and was charged in that incident - but that person was found not guilty. IOW, nothing happened to that person then and it is doubtful anything significant will happen in this incidence.

More from the WRAL report:

UNC-Chapel Hill officials said seven people have been arrested in connection with the protests. Danielle Shochet and Barry Brown were charged with simple assault, John Quick was charged with assault, Kristin Emory was charged with resisting arrest, Alexander Joustra and Lillian Laura Price were charged with injury and damage to property and Thomas Bruefach was charged with causing a public disturbance.

One of the men was arrested after UNC police accused him of threatening a Silent Sam supporter and another was arrested after stomping on a Confederate flag and breaking its flag post. A third person was arrested after trying to set fire to a Confederate flag, sparking jeers against the police...

.....

Jonathan Fitzgerald Fuller, 27, Lauren Aucoin, 23, and Raul Arce Jimenez, 27, were all charged with misdemeanor rioting and misdemeanor defacing a public monument. UNC police said the investigation is ongoing and additional arrests are possible.

According to the Defend Durham group, Jimenez was charged with tearing down a Confederate monument in Durham last year

” At about 5 p.m., however, approximately 30 people who had gathered left the area and an organizer said the event had been canceled because they were “tired.””

I will expect there will be 4 people who will emerge from all the protests, and take leadership positions. They will call them selves the “Gang of Four”. They will bloody our country, and carry calendars showing it is really 1949. No?
