In a case that might well serve as an object lesson in the blurring lines between Democratic politicians and left-wing activists, a Kentucky state representative could face up to five years in prison for her alleged participation in a violent protest.
According to the Louisville Courier-Journal, state Rep. Attica Scott and her daughter, Ashanti Scott, were among at least 24 people arrested in Breonna Taylor demonstrations in Louisville on Thursday night. Almost all of them were arrested in the vicinity of the Louisville Free Public Library — a building into which someone threw a flare after breaking a window.
Also arrested was activist Shameka Parrish-Wright. The three women were released from jail Friday morning and are set to be arraigned on Oct. 6.
Each of the three is charged with one felony count of first-degree rioting and two misdemeanor counts for alleged failure to disperse and unlawful assembly. . . . www.westernjournal.com/dem-lawmaker-faces-5-years-prison-alleged-rioting-louisville/
