18 months in various county jails or federal holding pens?

No bail for what amounts to jaywalking during a political rally?

Prosecution used all of this to get the punishment they wanted without benefit of a conviction worth its name.

Imprisonment for extended periods without bail absent convictions was a gig used by the colonial royal governors to beat the colonists down. It’s the reason we have the little bit about “speedy trials” in the 6th Amendment and why you have a right of action if it doesn’t take place.

The Obama government engaged in a disgusting civil rights violation and vendetta against these protestors and the Trump administration has been way too slow to rectify it.

But they should, because people elected them partly on the basis of this.

Law for some, injustice for others. Have many days in jail have ANTIFA members spent?
