One of the women resisting arrest at the Pittsburgh BLM protest where the viral punch photo was taken is Victoyia Lynn Townes. She was previously arrested over a racist BLM attack on white patrons in a restaurant in 2020. At the time, she was charged with rioting, making terroristic threats, assault and more.
Antifa and far-left accounts are using PayPal and CashApp to raise cash rewards for their violent comrades to incentivize further criminal behavior. One Antifa member doing so is Joshua Trapp. The Pittsburgh communist activist was himself arrested at a direct action in 2020.
Townes has a trial for the 2020 BLM Pittsburgh racist attack on April 20, 2022 in Allegheny County, Penn.
