Innocent Until Proven Conservative: Capitol Protesters Languish in Jail, Are 'Tortured,' While Antifa And BLM Criminals Walk
PJ Media ^ | 05/19/2021 | Kevin Downey Jr.

“People are tortured mentally, physically, socially, emotionally, legally, and spiritually,” Jacob Lang wrote to his dad. He has been in a federal jail since he was arrested on January 16 for his part in the mostly peaceful demonstration at the Capitol on January 6.

“I’ve been in solitary confinement for a hundred days now and haven’t been convicted of any crime with no end in sight,” he continued.

Lang is accused of assaulting a Capitol police officer with a dangerous or deadly weapon. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. As per a text message received by his mother, Lang was reportedly locked in an empty cell with no toilet paper, chair, or blanket for 14 hours after being accused of advising other Capitol protestors to not take a plea deal.

Shockingly (or not), members of the left’s darling street militias, BLM and antifa, have seen a different side of the “system.” People arrested for rioting, looting, burning federal buildings, and assaulting police officers are seeing little, if any, time behind bars. Roughly half of those arrested for federal crimes have had their charges dropped. Most are granted bail and many have had their bail paid by organizations such as the Minnesota Freedom Fund.

Compare that treatment to Capitol protester Ryan Samsel, reported to have been “viciously and savagely” beaten by police while in federal custody.

“He has definitely suffered serious injuries, including a shattered orbital floor, a broken orbital bone, his jaw was broken, his nose was broken,” Elisabeth Pasqualini, attorney for Ryan Samsel said, adding that Samsel is currently not able to see out of his right eye and may permanently lose vision in it. His hands were reportedly zip-tied together behind his back at the time of his beat down.

Biden’s new attorney general, Merrick Garland, stated at his confirmation hearing that while he was concerned about the violence in Portland he considers the Capitol riot a domestic extremist attack because it was directed at interfering with government functions, while the Portland violence targeted unoccupied buildings at night.

This is political imprisonment.

Actual crimes are not only ignored but condoned by Democrat leaders if they support Democrat operations while Republicans are imprisoned and charged above and beyond the maximum extent of the law.

The Democratic Party is an active opposition to the Republic.

Rigged elections. Phony puppet as el Presidente. Troops at the Capitol. Lies and propaganda from our State Run Media.

And of course political prisoners.

What else would one expect from a country that has gone through a coup d’état and is no better than a Banana Republic?

<< “the mostly peaceful demonstration at the Capitol on January 6.” >>

The only non-peaceful part was when an unarmed and otherwise completely non-threatening Ashli Babbitt was murdered by a still unnamed Capitol cop, and when some Antifa thugs broke down the barriers and broke a few windows, as they were instructed to do.

Garland and officials on down should be targeted with at least a massive civil suit for Violations of Civil Rights Under Color of Authority.

Sadly, it is "We,The People" that are allowing this to happen.

All of it.

All the detainees should start spouting antifa and BLM slogans, and proclaiming their allegiance. Will be out in no time.

All because our Republican Reps rolled over and allowed the traitors to steel the election.

We can talk, exchange thoughts, express outrage, but in the end we don’t count. The country’s naked power is under the control of people who hate us and plan to eliminate us after taking all our money.

Truth, justice, and the American way are now just words that bring us back to a time when they actually meant something. Memories are comforting, perhaps because the reality is too much to bear.

It is time to protest this travesty of justice that these folks are facing trumped up charges and being held without bail. Some of these folks are being beaten by jail guards, the murderer of Ashlee Babbitt faces no charges. They are all political prisoners and this was not an armed insurrection. This was a protest of a stolen and fraudulent election as well as a coup against President Trump. Time for a peaceful protest in DC.

Isaiah 40:31

Once you are weak enough to acknowledge that God is your only hope, then you are truly free. He is a bulwark never failing.
