Got what he deserved.

Let the left expose themselves on behalf of the George Floyds out there. We’ve got other fish to fry. Who out there is willing to stand up and say Floyd was a waste of human skin?

The dank cells they have thrown these people into should be used for Pelosi, Schiff and the rest should justice ever catch up with their sorry, criminal asses.

The democrats have turned “law enforcement” into their personal attack army. They use the full power of the government against their personal enemies. This is a major crime that will go unpunished.

He deserved a $500 fine for trespassing. Thats what a Leftist would have gotten if even arrested in the first place.

He’d have been better off committing a rape or a bit of grievous bodily harm.

The Royals want us to know that they can punish anyone who confronts them while people who attack us get no punishment.

What a joke

How many times did Code Pink disrupt congressional hearings? Were any of them prosecuted or even arrested. No they just tossed them out and proceeded with their work.

This is the very definition of selective prosecution.

He got lucky . . . he could have been sentenced to 7 years in this hyper-woke, nut job world we live in these days.

7 years for criminal trespass. That’s not ridiculous or anything. 😣
