Crazy. What other words can you use to describe a youth who thinks it’s cool to incite a riot?
According to the reports, he’s not even legally of age yet at 20 years old. And besides that, he turned himself in — with his parents escorting him to the authorities!
Let’s hope this turns into a good lesson for him to come to grips with the fact that actions have consequences.
From BizPacReview:
A young Pennsylvania man who was wanted for inciting a riot during a peaceful protest over the weekend turned himself in to police.
Brian Bartels, who allegedly smashed in the windows of a police car and spray painted it in broad daylight during protests in downtown Pittsburgh, was escorted into police custody by his mother and father on Monday.

A young Pennsylvania man who was wanted for inciting a riot during a peaceful protest over the weekend turned himself in to police.
Brian Bartels, who allegedly smashed in the windows of a police car and spray painted it in broad daylight during protests in downtown Pittsburgh, was escorted into police custody by his mother and father on Monday.
An anonymous tip from a co-worker reportedly indicated that Bartels was destroying the empty marked police SUV on Saturday during protests which eventually grew violent, resulting in 44 arrests and damage to 60 properties, according to Pittsburgh Public Safety.
“Police secured the warrant as part of an investigation into a male suspect who incited Saturday’s violence by breaking the windows out of a marked Pittsburgh Police vehicle Uptown, against the wishes of peaceful protesters who tried to stop him,” Pittsburgh police spokesman Chris Togneri said, according to Fox News.
The front and back doors of Bartel’s home were reportedly broken down by police when no one answered upon their arrival, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The entire home was apparently searched and police found two guns, six spray paint cans, gloves, and other items, along with a sweatshirt.
So this knucklehead decided to find a way to arm himself as well. Let’s hope he learns his lesson well enough to realize that he was headed down a path to destruction. I suppose we can try to “look on the bright side” in that he didn’t use a weapon and shoot someone. I can’t help but wonder if he was another one of what we’ve come to call “snowflakes” (twenty-somethings living in their parents’ basements while they follow some kooky leftist self-righteous agenda).
If anybody still thinks the riots that have sprung up all over the country are “spontaneous”, I think they must be smoking some really potent illicit substance.
There is so much evidence that points to the events being thoroughly orchestrated, such as the piles of bricks mysteriously and conveniently appearing at strategic locations for use in the destruction of property, whether private or public.
This young man had the “misfortune” of being caught on video. The not-so-good part of this is that he is likely not one of those responsible for the violent protests, but is one of the “expendables” or “casualties of war” left to rot by Antifa.
