| Terrorist at work, Corey Long. |
Corey Long the Black Lives Matter terrorist who attacked attendees of the "Unite the Right" event in Charlottesville with an improvised flamethrower, has finally been "burnt" by the law, after he was arrested two months after his crimes.

The arrest charge is still unknown, but clearly Long's actions, directing a plume of flame at "Unite the Right" attendees as they were forced to exit Lee Park by police and state troopers was one of the more open-and-shut cases that day. The fact that his arrest comes more than two months after the event, suggests that the police have been dragging their heels in the case.
Essentially, Long is now being prosecuted in order to help justify the prosecutions against White nationalists arrested on that day.
The authorities are clearly doing their utmost to prosecute "Unite the Right" attendees on the flimsiest evidence, accusing them of acts of violence that in almost all cases were demonstrably acts of legitimate self-defence.
However, pushing these cases as hard as they are doing is also increasingly bringing to light the violence of the antifa and BLM counter-protesters, like Deandre Harris and Corey Long.
The authorities therefore have no alternative but to arrest a token number of their cherished pets in this way.
This case also presents an illuminating contrast with that of Christopher Cantwell, one of the "Unite the Right" attendees who was arrested for defending himself with pepper spray. While Cantwell was arrested almost immediately and then denied bail so that he is still languishing in Charlottesville jail, Long, who attacked people with a much more dangerous device, and entirely without provocation, has already been released from jail on a bond.
