In reply to the discussion: Former CNN anchor Don Lemon taken into custody, sources say [View all]Martin Eden
(15,428 posts)I've checked a few news sources, but couldn't find any mention of how many parishoners or clergy were injured in the attack, or property damage to the church.
They called the attack "horrendous" -- so I assume it must have been violent enough for the Justice Dept of the United States to issue arrest warrants for federal crime.
Obviously, they must have evidence of Mr. Lemon's involement in a criminal conspiracy to attack the church. If he was merely covering the protest, then followed them into the church in furtherance of journalistic coverage, there would be no grounds for charging him with a federal crime.
The attack must have been horrendous indeed for the Justice Dept to prioritize it over investigations into the murders of two American citizens in the streets of Minneapolis.
