Earlier this week we reported<\/a> on the statues of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt had been toppled in the 130-some-odd night of “mostly peaceful” riots (don’t worry, we’ve been advised that these months<\/strong> of violence and destruction of property are not\u00a0<\/em>an example of a city under a siege of lawlessness).<\/p>\n

However, in a display of anti-Americanism that even the Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler was offended by, the rioters crossed a line. The district attorney Mike Schmidt has spent most of his last calendar quarter excusing the violence and dismissing charges against hundreds of those arrested in the ritos. Today though, he’s actually doing the job of a DA. Two “protestors” have now been charged for their involvement in the lawlessness and damage to the historical figures.<\/p>\n

Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt on Monday announced charges against one man for smashing the windows of the Oregon Historical Society and other businesses, and another man for knocking over and damaging at least one statue in downtown Portland on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Both alleged crimes happened while a group of about 300 people marched through the South Park Blocks. Portland police declared a riot.<\/p>\n

Statues of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt were both toppled and damaged during the night.<\/p>\n

Portland police arrested Brandon Bartells, 38, of Pasco, Washington after they identified him as the driver of a van used to bring down the Roosevelt statue.<\/p>\n

Bartells is charged with first-degree criminal mischief and riot.<\/p>\n

Officers said Bartells and others used chains and straps to topple the statue, according to court documents. Bartells is a suspect in bringing down the Lincoln statue as well, but the district attorney\u2019s office said Monday that investigation is ongoing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s this interesting tidbit too;<\/p>\n

Bartells was also arrested at a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin in August. Back then he was accused of violating the curfew that was in place after protests erupted following the police shooting of Jacob Blake.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
