Tacoma woman charged for allegedly setting Seattle police vehicles on fire during protests

During one of the first nights of protests in Seattle over the death of George Floyd, a black man killed while in Minneapolis police custody, several police vehicles were set on fire right in the middle of downtown.

On Thursday, the Department of Justice announced a 25-year-old Tacoma woman was arrested for allegedly setting those parked patrol cars on fire during the protests on May 30.

Margaret Channon has been charged with five federal counts of arson for burning five Seattle Police Department vehicles in the area of 6th and Pine Streets downtown.

Federal investigators say they were able to determine it was Channon and track her down due to several cameras in the area capturing her allegedly setting the vehicles on fire and showing her unique tattoos.

“ANTIFA!”

At the top of their lungs. So far all their - and the mango menace’s - attempts have failed. I hope this one is another fail, and turns out it’s Proud Boys, Boogaloo, the 3-percenters. But I’m not sure with this one....
