Kelly Thomas Jackson will serve more than three year in federal prison & three years supervised release after pleading guilty of torching two police cars with Molotov cocktails during the George Floyd riots in Seattle back on May 30th.
In a press release, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington says:
“…following a May 30, 2020, demonstration in downtown Seattle, law enforcement had various videos of a white male suspect in distinctive clothing using glass containers with a flammable material and a wick to burn or attempt to burn two police vehicles. Jackson was identified as that man after an anonymous tip to law enforcement. An analysis of cell phone records placed Jackson in the area at the time of the fires. Law enforcement obtained videos that show Jackson traveling into Seattle with at least one of the glass bottles with a wick. Other videos show Jackson throwing one Molotov cocktail into a police vehicle, then hiding himself in the crowd and jumping up and down with excitement after his crime. Another video shows the second Molotov cocktail thrown at the windshield of a police vehicle, bouncing off, and exploding in flames on the sidewalk outside the Nordstrom store. A review of Jackson’s internet activity demonstrated that he accessed web-based information on how to construct Molotov cocktails.”
Jackson pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of a destructive device on January 6, 2021.
This dude is a real winner, in court Jackson’s attorney said the 21-year-old still lived at home with his parents.
Notice how it’s the feds charging & going after these antifa punks because the locals district attorneys prefer to drop these cases.
