Democrats eager to jail Jan. 6 rioters once shielded radicals who bombed the U.S. Capitol in 1983

Attorney General Merrick Garland, who has boasted of arresting and convicting hundreds of people who rioted in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, signed off on dismissing the charges and quashing the arrest warrant for a woman accused of detonating a bomb near the Senate chamber in 1983.

Elizabeth A. Duke jumped bail nearly four decades ago and has never been captured and prosecuted for the Capitol bombing, nor has she faced charges in connection with the bombing of the Navy Yard and Fort McNair or a plot to bomb other federal buildings, among them the Old Executive Office Building next to the White House and the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

Democrats helped Ms. Duke get her case tossed in 2009, and Mr. Garland later signed off on the move.

Democrats also helped free two other women, Susan Lisa Rosenberg and Linda Sue Evans. With Ms. Duke, they were left-wing terrorists associated with the Weather Underground and the May 19th Communist Organization. They were charged with involvement in bombing the Capitol and the other federal buildings.

Some of the people who worked to lessen their punishment are now pursuing one of the biggest federal prosecutions in history against the Jan. 6 rioters who pushed their way into the Capitol to protest the certification of Joseph R. Biden’s electoral win over President Trump.

Democrats also condemned Mr. Trump for vowing to pardon Jan. 6 rioters if he wins another White House term in November.

“In terms of the double standard, here’s an actual bombing of the Senate chamber,” said Paul Kamenar, counsel for the National Legal and Policy Center. “The Jan. 6 protest had some windows broken and things like that. But a bomb wasn’t set off.”

If ya gotta go back to 1983...*facepalm*

There’s (D) grift/abuse going on TODAY to point out the multi-tiered ‘just-us’ system: From Hunter Biden (gun/tax crimes+), to Pelosi’s son (6x+ allowed to skate), NYC no-bail, (D) enclaves that refused to prosecute BLM/Antifa’s “Summer of Love”...let alone the recent illegal alien/’squatter’s “rights”’ B.S.

If you go to the link, there's an AP photo of the Senate windows blown out from the blast.

Here's the caption:

"U.S. Capitol windows were shattered in November 1983 after a bombing. The left-wing terrorists responsible received light punishment compared with Jan. 6 rioters who have been prosecuted. By sheer luck, senators avoided the potentially lethal blast. ASSOCIATED PRESS"

Demonicrats are, in their very essence, traitors to the United States of America.

She has to be a democrat or she would have been captured and prosecuted.

Selective judgement in action.

There have been several bombings and assassinations at the capitol in the past 100 years. They were all worse than January 6.

Puerto Rican nationalists tried to assassinate members of Congress. It has been far left movements and they have been treated with deference by Democratic Presidents such as Carter and Clinton.
