Probation for #Pittsburgh BLM extremist who racially terrorized White restaurant patrons.
Victoyia Townes was sentenced today for a 2020 attack where she and 3 other Pittsburgh BLM leaders assaulted and threatened to murder restaurant patrons with a clear racial motive.
Townes pled down to disorderly conduct charges despite originally being charged with multiple felonies.
No ethnic intimidation charges (PA version of a hate crime) were filed by @AlleghenyCoDA despite the clear racial motive of the threats and the victim statements on it.
Kenneth McDowell, who was also involved in the threats, pled guilty in April. He also received probation.
Local media described this case as "shouted and screamed obscenities at them with megaphones." without making any mention of the racist motive or death threats.
Monique Craft was also charged, she died back in November 2021, where she was celebrated by local media who made no mention of her involvement in the racist attack.
Craft is also in QT'd video at a different incident, which was rolled up into this case.
Alex Schuyler, a former NAACP official was also charged. Charges appear to have been dropped or otherwise sealed for him, cannot find any record on PAUJS.
The complaint alleged he pinned a man to a fence and said "Your wife is going to die, what are you going to do White man?"
