Rioters on the Web: Nathan David Kirstein - Disability Lawyer

I figured I'd go through some of the people arrested for RIOT in Polk County.

Here is Nathan David Kirstein, age 42, charged with Riot, booked 5/31/2020.


What does Nathan Kirstein do for a living?

He's a lawyer who works at Disability Rights Iowa, the Law Center for Protection and Advocacy (archive link)


Riot in Iowa Code 723.1 is an aggravated misdemeanor.  That's good for up to 2 years in jail and up to a $6250 fine

What does it take to get a lawyer disbarred?

In Iowa, there are so many corrupt lawyers that the bar is pretty high, but violence can be a factor.

Currently, Nathan Kirstein is in "good standing" with the Iowa Bar.


We'll see if lawyers charged with "riot" continue to remain in the good graces of the Iowa Bar.

Do you think this will be reported on in the Des Moines Register?
