This is a case of “the process is the punishment.”
I doubt there is any intention to quell the violent activists of the left - if anything this lawyer will come out after verdict and say it was an injustice.
If there is a next time the right properly uses force of violence in self defense, this prosecutor would charge them, too.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost every major study on defensive gun use has found that Americans use their firearms defensively between 500,000 and 3 million times each year. There’s good reason to believe that most defensive gun uses are never reported to law enforcement, much less picked up by local or national media outlets.

Well, look at that. That means between 500,000 and 3 million defensive uses of weapon were NOT prosecuted.
Seems to me these prosecutors need to be ousted from their jobs.
