Soros-backed Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx preemptively announced that she will not prosecute protesters who are “peaceful” at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
This sudden turn toward leniency runs against what she claimed in April, Wirepoints reported.
Despite the attention to “peaceful” protesters, Foxx also announced ahead of time that she will not prosecute anyone arrested for misdemeanors — such as disorderly conduct, public demonstration, unlawful gathering, criminal trespass to state-supported land, and even curfew charges.
The policy is not new, though. The prosecutor, who was given a $408,000 donation from a George Soros super PAC in 2016, has maintained this policy at least since the riots in 2020 and has released hundreds of protesters over the years — even those who perpetrated property damage.
Despite this announcement of leniency, Foxx was talking tougher in April when she told the Chicago Tribune that her past policy, confirmed in a November 15 memo, would be set aside and hinted that protesters could expect to be arrested.

Make it great- like ‘68!!!
You’ve heard of show trials.
These are show arrests.
There is no law and order in Chiraq.
This is just some Kabuki theater to pretend there is.
The county attorney just gave the rioters the green light.
Wonder how many businesses will never come back after this week.
seems the only protection the stores have
is a thin sheet of plywood
Jessy smolett, kim fox and heals up are all bffs.
Freepers think J6 rioters should not be prosecuted but DNC rioters should be prosecuted? Makes no sense.
They would be wise to place a call to the rooftop Koreans.
The Democrats don’t want to prosecute the protesters because those are the very same useful idiots that will be needed if Trump becomes president.
Why have laws then?
Why require protest “licenses” from the city?!
Soros’ payments and a worthless commie mayor and governor at work. Bye bye Chicongo.
Equality in judgement a new concept for you?
Maybe should’ve waited until Friday to announce this.
If you can’t tell the difference between a January 6th protester and a summer of love rioter or in this case what will likely be a DNC rioter you must be a Democrat.
If you damage property or assaulted somebody on January 6th yes you should be prosecuted. If you walk through an open door past a guard who didn’t say “get out” you should not be.
You can’t arrest Democrat voters, only repjblican. That’s the law.
Compare this to Jan 6 arrests, convictions and imprisonments..
LET’S GOOOOOO
So go for it, protesters!!!!!
For a small group of those protesters, knowing they won’t be arrested, no matter how much chaos they cause is bad news.
They want the notoriety, the street-cred, the attention from being Frog Marched in handcuffs and ankle chains.
They want their Buds to see them violently resisting arrest.
