James Massey, 22, is charged with using a facility of interstate commerce to incite a riot, according to a 19-page criminal complaint. It alleges he sent online messages late on Aug. 9 such as “WE LIE TOGETHER WE DIE TOGETHER” and “Lets get ready to steal b----.”
Two people were shot and 13 police officers were injured amid the rioting last August that led to standoffs with police and left heaps of shattered glass and empty storefronts from the South Loop to Lincoln Park.
When someone on Facebook later told Massey that a screenshot of his Facebook Live video was circulating on social media, he allegedly replied in part, “F--- dem … Freedom of speech.” Meanwhile, Tuesday’s complaint revealed that federal authorities had obtained a search warrant for Massey’s Facebook account back in September.
