A Los Angeles man was charged with felony vandalism after allegedly throwing books at cars on a freeway during protests against President Trump's immigration policies. The incident occurred on February 3rd during a 'Day Without Immigrants' march. Though the driver of the vehicle hit was uninjured, authorities are charging Torres with a felony due to the risk his actions posed to others on the freeway.
A Los Angeles man was charged with felony vandalism Monday after he allegedly threw books at cars on the freeway downtown during recent protests against President Trump's immigration and deportation policies. On Feb. 3, thousands of people marched through downtown L.A. as part of 'A Day Without Immigrants,' a social media-driven nationwide boycott that called on immigrants to skip work, keep their children home from school and refrain from shopping.
Had the vehicle swerved, it could have collided with other vehicles, 'not only would there be property damage, but you have the chance of serious injury or potentially even death, depending on what's going on,' Hochman said. Torres is charged with one felony count of throwing an object at a vehicle or an occupant of the vehicle with intent to do great bodily injury and one felony count of vandalism of more than $400 in defacement with graffiti.
