Kentucky State Representative Attica Scott was arrested Thursday night during a Black Lives Matter protest that turned into a riot. Scott is the author of Breonna’s Law. She was booked on three counts after failing to disperse when police ordered her to do so.
The three counts are one count of unlawful assembly, one count of failure to disperse, and one count of riot in the first degree. The arrest report alleges she “caused damage at multiple locations, including setting fire to the Louisville Public Library.” She was one of a large group of protesters who refused to disperse. The protesters were seeking sanctuary at First Unitarian Church. Scott’s daughter was also arrested.
Hmmm ... if she truly is accused of being complicit in setting fire to the Louisville Public Library, shouldn't she be charged with first degree Arson? Maybe that is covered by first degree Rioting, eh?
When asked about the church offering sanctuary to protesters, Peggy Muller, President of the Board of Directors told a reporter, “Because it is what we do. The Unitarian Church is a believer in social justice and equality and we work hard. We work, it’s just part of our mission, our principles, to help people who need help. And, here at First U., they’ve been doing it for 70 years. Either they’ve been supporting the justice programs here, how could we not do it now just because of COVID?” The protesters had to be inside the church by the 9:00 p.m. curfew to avoid arrest. They were not, they were walking there, according to the news reporter.
Interesting that the church lady admits concerns about COVID-19 won’t stop protests, right? COVID-19 shutdowns are for everyone else, apparently. ...
