It was only a matter of time when their photos are splashed online for millions to see. Three of the four arrested are middle aged, what would possess them to commit such a senseless crime at that age? Expecting a gofundme donation or a wealthy radical protest sponsor to toss them a few bucks?

Bid to tear down Andrew Jackson statue in DC's Lafayette Square leads to charges for 4


The Department of Justice on Saturday announced charges against four men for their alleged involvement in the vandalization of the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C., during a demonstration earlier this week.


The news broke just hours after President Trump tweeted 15 individual press releases from the U.S. Park Police, with photographs of suspects who allegedly desecrated the monument, which lies on federally owned property.

Lee Michael Cantrell, 47, of Virginia; Connor Matthew Judd, 20, of Washington, D.C.; Ryan Lane, 37, of Maryland; and Graham Lloyd, 37, of Maine, were all charged in a criminal complaint Friday with "destruction of federal property," according to the Justice Department (DOJ).

The charges were announced by Acting U.S. Attorney Michael R. Sherwin; Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Washington Field Office’s Criminal Division, James A. Dawson, and Acting Chief of the Park Police Gregory T. Monahan.

The complaint, which was unsealed Saturday, states that on June 22, the four men participated in damaging the statue alongside other rioters, while also being captured on video "attempting to pry the statue off its base with a wooden board and trying to pull the statue down with the aid of a yellow strap," the DOJ said.

It also claims there is video evidence showing "Lloyd as he breaks off and destroys the wheels of cannons located at the base of the statue. Lloyd is then captured on video pulling on ropes in an effort to topple the statue and handing a hammer to an unidentified individual involved in the incident," according to the department.

I hope they throw the book at them. Time for a few examples.

If they are tried in Washington will a jury convict them?

I like the part of Trumps statement regarding those who tear down our monuments, where he says they should get ten years in a federal prison. As federal prisoners have to serve the entire sentence, no matter how well they behave, it'll give them plenty of time to think about the actions that got them there.

One of these idiots was from Maine? In DC trying to destroy a statue?

Hope they charge them with felonies and give them 25 years in prison for domestic terrorism.
