What else would they be charged with? I think once it reaches a point where they're lighting cars and other stuff on fire, it's pretty obvious they're breaking the law.

Those weren't protests. Those were riots. They're getting what they deserve.

I have no sympathy for rioters. They should face the consequences for their actions. However 10 years in prison is excessive, and likely to be greatly reduced at sentence, and/or appeal.

Madonna should be arrested for threatening to blow up the White House.

I'd so love to see her doing time. :lol:

Why? It's been a recurring theme in scifi novels for a long time.

Some folks really are calling for her arrest. She actually didn't threaten to blow up the White House. She said she had thought about it.

And if she were arrested, she'd wear it like a badge of honor. Whatever.

Don't encourage celebrities by giving them more attention. They're kind of like trolls but on a bigger forum. :lol:
