I hope he's the first to receive a 10 year prison sentence. Wasn't just a one off either, he's been quite the busy criminal.

Rethinking, he should get 10 years for each monument. Something for each threatening event of reporters, even if only an extra month for each offense.

Feds Arrest Antifa ‘Ringleader’ Responsible For Attack On Jackson Statue

Federal law enforcement officers have arrested the “ringleader” behind the attempted takedown of President Andrew Jackson’s statue in Lafayette Park late in June, according to a report from Fox News.

The Federal Bureau of Investigations, in conjunction with the U.S. Park Police, arrested Jason Charter on Thursday morning and charged him with the destruction of federal property, according to Fox News.

Unnamed law enforcement sources tell Fox he was responsible for the June 22 attack on Jackson’s statue in front of the White House and the June 19 destruction of the Albert Pike statue.

“They were very organized,” a federal law enforcement official told Fox News. “Charter was on top of the statue and directing people … they had acid, chisels, straps and a human chain preventing police from getting to the statue.”

According to Fox News, a criminal complaint against Charter states he is “plainly visible in footage from the destruction of both the Pike Statue and the Jackson Statue, carrying the same Swiss Gear logo backpack, bicycle helmet, walking cane, and armband.”

“At the Jackson Statue incident, Charter is additionally seen wearing a red set of ski goggles and a yellow ventilator mask. Charter’s face is clearly visible at different times during each incident,” the FBI states in a filing, according to Fox.

At the same protest, Charter intimidated and tried to remove Daily Caller video reporter Vincent Shkreli.
