A Chicago man who dressed up in a Joker-like clown mask and had the gall to set a police car on fire has been arrested. Authorities lucked out that the clown had a distinctive neck tattoo that made him easy to find.
Timothy W. O’Donnell, 31, has been charged with one count of causing fire damage to a Chicago Police Department vehicle used in interstate commerce. O’Donnell, who authorities said most recently lived in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, faces a minimum of five years in federal prison if convicted of the charge, The Patch reported.
“Anyone involved in destructive behavior — such as setting fire to a police car — should know that federal law enforcement will use all tools available to us to hold them accountable,” U.S. Attorney John Lausch said in a statement. “We will continue to work with the Chicago Police Department and our federal and state partners to apprehend and charge arsonists and others engaging in violent crime.”
According to the complaint, O’Donnell waived his Mirada rights and admitted he was the person in the photographs. Authorities found a Joker mask inside the apartment.
O’Donnell was charged in a federal complaint because the police car belongs to the city government, which conducts business in interstate commerce. For example, the city buys the vehicles and equipment for the police department.
Looks like they upped the charge on this clown. But he deserves it. People could have been hurt and how does setting a police car on fire do anything for his cause? These violent protesters don’t make any sense. Looting, rioting, and destroying property ruins any cause they are trying to bring attention to. Protesters should strive to be more like those at the recent 2nd Amendment rally in Virginia. They were all armed to the gills but picked up after themselves and made their point peacefully.
Globalist Soros and his minions the Deep State NAZI Commie liberal party, Fake news, Antifa, CIA, FBI, Hollywood Rats, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, The useful idiots, RINOs etc…are responsible for this rioting and destruction throughout the country. This treasonous act should not go unpunished! It’s about time these deep State rats are held accountable! Patriots, we need to save the country from turning into another Commie shit hole just like all the other lib run cities!!
You shouldn’t use Soros without mentioning Obama right there with him.
I hope they come down hard on all these people that loot, steal and commit arson, they are taking away from the peaceful protesters. They are just in it for what they can get and to ruin innocent people’s lives. These Hollywood types that are bailing these thugs out of jail should be ashamed of themselves, why don’t they use their money to help the people, most of them minorities, that have had their lives and livelihoods ruined.
It’s disgusting what these Soros backed communist “useful idiots” are doing to neighborhoods that people live in. Most the people do not want this because it just makes it so much worse for their lives. It makes it harder for businesses to come into these neighborhoods because of the crime and cost of insurance to open a store. People yell that the stores are ripping off the poor with their prices but with theft, and crime their over head is a lot larger than in a safer neighborhood. They have to charge these prices to pay for the theft, insurance, overhead , and enough to make a small profit to survive. These Soros backed scum don’t care because they don’t live in those neighborhoods. They’re bussed in to riot. How that F::ken rat Soros isn’t thrown out of this country is beyond me. He should be hung with piano wire from a light pole and left to rot. He’s a f::ken slimeball who sold out his own race to the f::ken Nazis! The only thing this rat loves is money. A true pile of dog shit!! We need another Civil War people! Let’s get our country back before it’s to late! Nuff said!
The Chicago DA will et this scum lose without bail requirement and will not prosecute things can be replaced and because he is a social justice warrior. The Left is attacking the USA. There is no difference between these scum and ISIS.
