There seems to be little doubt that Defendants, or at least some members of RAM, engaged in criminal violence. But they cannot be selected for prosecution because of their repugnant speech and beliefs over those who committed the same violence with the goal of disrupting political events
That’s actually part of the judge’s decision. “These people are guilty, but since you didn’t prosecute those other people, too bad.”
Not allowed to punish white folks until you punish just as many minorities. (Think about that math…)
“I don’t believe it’s warranted that Mr. Rundo spend one minute more in custody, so I’m going to release him forthwith,” Carney said. “I feel very comfortable in the decision I’ve made.”
Of course he feels comfortable with that. He’s one of the white supremacists.
Rundo was accused not just of organizing the violent confrontations, but also of attacking protesters and police officers. After Rundo was ordered by police to stop attacking a “defenseless person” during the Berkeley protest, he allegedly punched an officer twice in the head, according to an arrest warrant.
I’d be willing to bet that the majority of this judge’s supporters have Thin Blue Line bumper stickers and still support this decision.
I’ve brought this up before but I’ll say it again: I have never met a member of a group of violent and organized far left extremists, or anyone who identifies as Antifa, to the point that I have trouble believing they exist. I’ve met some far left wackos, but none claiming to be organized or in cahoots with other far left wackos, and most of their violence was in speech only.
But I’ve met way too many far right knuckleheads who’d be all too happy to shoot someone.
Similarly, the only time you would hear someone described as ‘woke’ just a few years ago is if one black person talked about another black person about being aware of racial injustice.
And then there was “social justice warrior,” which, like antifa, is not actually a thing. But if it was, the #1 candidate would be their hero Jesus.
I’ve met a couple SJWs that were unhinged, but they weren’t really violent and certainly not an organized terror group the the fucking Proud Boys
