Democrat Prosecutor Sued after Dropping Charges against Woman Who Violently Assaulted Pro-Lifer
The Washington Stand ^ | 10/1/2025 | S.A. McCarthy

Another day, another leftist prosecutor refusing to seek justice for American Christians. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) decided last month to dismiss charges against Brianna Rivers, who had been caught on camera in April violently attacking pro-life journalist Savannah Craven Antao, who was conducting “woman-on-the-street” interviews for pro-life advocacy group Live Action.

Another comment said that the pro-life journalist “deserved it 1000%...”

It’s about time we start suing the pants off of shyster, ambulance-chasing “lawyers”. They’re more corrupt and weaponized than the skank and skunk Dipstick Court “junior judgeez”.
