Two Black Lives Matter protesters have been arrested for attacking and smearing a soiled diaper on a right-wing activist’s face during a Manhattan march, police said Wednesday.
Juarde Benn, 20, of Brooklyn, and Saqunn Jackson, 23, of the Bronx, are both facing charges for the Jan. 10 caught-on-camera clash with activist Tara Anne Szczepanski.
As Szczepanski live-streamed the BLM march at Madison Square Park, one of the marchers shoved her to the ground, pelted her head with an egg and knocked her cellphone to the ground, said cops.
Szczepanski, a Florida resident and former beauty pageant queen, was also hit with a skateboard and aerosol string, police said.
As she tried to run away, a marcher rubbed a soiled diaper in Szczepanski’s face, cops said.
No injuries were reported.
Cops tracked down Benn on Friday and charged him with attempted assault, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon and stalking. Benn was also accused of punching a 61-year-old man on the march, cops said.
A judge ordered Benn released without bail at his arraignment Saturday.
Jackson was arrested on Tuesday and charged with assault, menacing aggravated harassment and stalking. His arraignment was pending Saturday.
Szczepanski was assaulted a second time on Jan. 18 as she live-streamed a Martin Luther King Day march in Lower Manhattan, where protesters and police clashed at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge.
She claimed at the time that protesters recognized her from the Jan. 10 attack.

Of Course BLM cowards have to assault a women and an old man!! notice they don’t go after real patriots! I have a friend who lives in Boise, ID who said BLM and ANTIFA showed up in Coeur d’Alene, ID and were welcomed by over 1K Patriots armed with AK-47’s and rifles and the cowards got back into their cars with their tails between their legs!!
Can you imagine HOW MUCH outrage there’d have been, had the roles been reversed, and SHE had rubbed the diaper in the face of those BLM THUGS?? It would be deafening!
“Black Lives matter”? …. To Whom??
I.A.W. U.S. Census & FBI (Table 43a) Black males make up about 8% of the U.S. population but commit 53% of all the murders and 55% of all robberies in the U.S… Every year there are ~6,000 African-Americans men, women and children killed and 94% of them were killed by fellow African-Americans.
Two real men, Juarde Benn, 20, of Brooklyn, and Saqunn Jackson, 23, assaulting a woman. But they are a product of blm, founded by three communists. Juarde and Saqunn, a product of the welfare system, with no father. But like blm states, they do not want the “nuclear family” intact, so Juarde and Saqunn fit the MO, of blm!!!!!!!
I’m sure they were just trying to share the meals they have been fed by the democrats.
Released with no bail!!! Figures
I’m sure the Vice President will be more than glad to put up the bail money!
Assuming they even GET bail. These days, its high likely THEY WILL be released, then not charged later.
Notice that the victim is identified as a “right-wing activist,” whereas the attackers are never identified as “left-wing activists.” The implication is that she deserved what she got. Notice, too, the reference at the end to her having been assaulted again while filming an MLK march, once again implying that she’s a troublemaker who deserves to be assaulted. But we’re never told who was involved in that “clash between protesters and police” at the MLK march, or who started it. And why mention it at all? We never hear that she did anything at the march except film it. Why is the focus on her instead of on the fact that both the BLM and the MLK activities turned violent and resulted in injuries to bystanders? (Those are rhetorical questions. We know the answers.)
THese days, tha’s COMMON practice.. ANYONE white/conservative, will ALWAYS BE labeled as right wing.. EVEN IF THE PERP is known to be a DNC operative, they will NEVER, ever be labeled left wing.
