Who would have thunk it?

It’s what has been called the Third Worlding of America: a double standard where instead of equal protection under the law, political opponents are punished via the courts while rioting allies are tacitly told by the powers-that-be, “Good job, son — and we may need you again soon.”

You see that almost every BLM, Antifa, anti-cop rioter from last summer was released from jail without bail and had charges dropped. You saw it in New York where 400 rioters arrested in June were just released and no charges. In Washington, D.C. it was the same thing: Everyone arrested and charged with felony rioting; released — no charges. And in Portland … where police were attacked with Molotov cocktails and bricks and a federal courthouse was under assault for months; rioters there, 90 percent of them had their charges dropped. And by contrast, you have the people arrested over the capital riot. Most of them are still in jail two months later. They have been transported to a jail in Washington, D.C. from all around the country, far from friends and family; they’re not allowed … they’ve been refused bail or bond.
Just call it Gulag America....a place where Communists drag citizens guilty of protesting are dragged in chains to grim prisons without hope of release against all Anglo-Saxon law and tradition.
Soviet America,
If I were a defense attorney for a Jan 6th defendant, I’d put the FIBBERS and Just Us department’s handling of Antifa and BLM on trial.
It’s awful what they’ve done to my country!
Gulag.
Yes!
Ultra radical totalitarian leftists do not see equity and equality as the same.
Equity means that their named victim groups get more. Always.
Welcome to the upcoming genocide.
See you in the camps, save some moldy bread for me.
Who would have thunk it?
God bless Amerika.
What about Habeas Corpus?
This seems a flagrant abuse of that law that no court— even leftist court— could uphold.
Legal Freepers, what do you say?
My question I guess: wouldn’t Habeus apply to the situation in which bond is denied by delaying hearings?
Indeed, wouldn’t this open the door to a class action suit?
A final thought— could applications for redress be made from state courts, or from local federal jurisdictions, thus forcing the justice department to try these individuals outside of Washington?
I’m no lawyer, by a long shot, but it seems to me that such obvious abuse has to violate some law, somewhere.
