This appalling double standard of “justice” is one of the left’s main tactics in trying to trigger the right-wing violence it so desperately wants. The plan is to be so unfair, so ridiculously unfair, that even middle-mannered people become angry, and someone in this country of 330 million people finally snaps.
They want it as an excuse to ban guns and enact martial law.
As long it is done in deep blue country the fish won’t take the bait. But in Joplin Missouri or Huntington, West Virginia it might work.
