Oh barf....

So I guess torching a limo and smashing up a Starbucks is now OK as long as you’re protesting a Republican.

[Pollster1]

As we saw in other democrat-controlled cities, conspiracy to riot and to engage in terrorism is not a crime if the powers that be disapprove of your target. The Left disgusts me.

I hope the thugs on the left understand what happens when the courts are corrupted. I'm okay with vigilantes providing justice and protection if government won't do its job.

[TigerClaws]

D.C.?

The jury was likely in on the riot.

[treetopsandroofs]

If you’re a leftist “protester” destroying property, that is now YOUR “first amendment right” to do so.

Next time somebody I dont like gets elected I am going break every window and burn every building I see

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

What about the “protestors” who spray-painted the coats of military widows as they were entering one of the inaugural balls?

These “protestors” should rot in prison.

And these D.C. juries....must be largely dem, low IQ blacks.

Call it “speech” and you can get away with anything (except if you’re a Christian baker.)

D.C. Superior Court.

Explains the jury nullification. I am should if thee same exact events happened during an Obama inauguration the defendants would be in the slammer.

[MileHi]

This jury illustrates why Trump could never get a fair hearing anywhere in DC.

[raiderboy]

Now reindict in federal court immediately for violation of our civil rights. NOW!!!

[ex91B10]

Hang this judge.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Exactly as expected. The jury pool in DC is drawn from the same civilizational parasites who swoon over the prospects of a free Obama phone.
 

[Garvin]

Story doesn’t say how many were not acquitted of rioting, and other related charges stemming from Inauguration Day.

[JohnyBoy]

Not surprising, liberals don’t believe in justice. When their communist buddies commit a crime they protect and enable the criminals. If you want Justice in this country you’re not going to find it in the courts.

[JimRed]

Trying to get a pro-America jury in the DC area is like trying to get ham ‘n cheese in a Kosher deli.

[veracious]

DC, the land of the lawless, lost civilization.

[WayneS]

Prosecutors acknowledged that they had no evidence that the six defendants wielded hammers or crowbars, or threw bricks at police officer...

I guess they would have been more likely to get a conviction if they had actual evidence against the individuals who were on trial. I despise "protesters" who destroy public and private property, but I still would not vote to convict someone unless I was presented with evidence of their guilt.

[Flaming Conservative]

The judge had a legal obligation to explain to that jury that if it was proven the defendants did what they were accused of, then they MUST convict. The idea that a jury is allowed to declare someone”not guilty”, when the burden of proof is met, is ridiculous. Otherwise, we have no protection that proven criminals can be set free, arbitrarily, by a jury, who due to politics want them to go free. (I know. It happens more than we’d like, but that doesn’t make it right).
