I’m sure the DOJ will treat these vandals just like the J6 people who wandered around the Capital, right?
I'm sure the @DOJ will prosecute, right? "When property damage does not exceed $100, the offense is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $100,000, one year imprisonment, or both" https://t.co/5DkSDPrAuA.

Yeah, it is a federal criminal violation, and they should be treated like criminals. Sure, that’s what they want, to get the media coverage, but, maybe if these wackos had to pay some serious fines and do some jail time things would be different
(NY Post) Climate activists targeted one of America’s founding documents Wednesday, dumping pink powder on the bulletproof case that protects the US Constitution.
The shocking incident took place at around 2:30 p.m. at the National Archives Rotunda in Washington, DC, which was forced to close to the public as a result of the mess.
“We are determined to foment a rebellion,” one of the activists, covered in the pinkish red dust, said shortly after the substance was poured on the 237-year old document, video taken of the aftermath shows.
“Joe Biden needs to declare a climate emergency,” he later said.
So the jerkoffs messed the day up for a whole bunch of people who had surely waited patiently to see our founding documents. There’s usually a line, as they only let in so many people at a time. And it will be closed Thursday for cleaning.
DC’s Metropolitan Police Department arrested both individuals and the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia will handle the case, a spokesperson for the National Archives and Record Administration told The Post.
“It will be treated as a federal crime,” they added, noting that the perpetrators indicated that the pink substance was powdered paint.
But, will they be charged and tried? That remains to be seen.
