Finally: Federal Judge Nails DOJ for Giving Pass to Antifa While Selectively Prosecuting Trump Supporters

Finally a federal judge who believes in justice or something close to it. Could this be a crack in the dike of the tyranny of the DOJ? Is this the beginning of the end of Antifa pattern of violence and silence? We can hope.

To understand what's at stake, let's take you back.

At UC Berkeley in 2017, Antifa and their local black bloc franchisees set fires and rioted to prevent Milo Yiannopoulos from speaking on campus.

The anti-free speech violent protesters set off munitions, broke windows, beat people, and scared the university away from allowing any right-wing speakers to be heard on campus—unless they paid for their own security. Antifa radicals, calling themselves By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), framed themselves as brave and heroic for silencing speech of people they detested at the very birthplace of the campus free speech movement.

It was the first round of the speech wars between people on the right who were trying to speak and those on the left who called them "fascists" while calling themselves "anti fascist" and using violence to literally shut them up.

Several people were arrested for the melee, but guess who were the only ones prosecuted?

In an opinion issued February 21, California Federal District Court Judge Cormac J. Carney stiff-armed the DOJs Terrorism and Export Crimes Section out of Los Angeles and nailed them for selective prosecution. The decision to dismiss the federal charges against two men who at some point became members of a group characterized as "white supremacist" was based on the fact that Antifa did as bad or worse that day and at other events where both groups were represented and Antifa wasn't prosecuted.

The judge wrote, "prosecuting only members of the far right and ignoring members of the far left leads to the troubling conclusion that the government believes it is permissible to physically assault and injure Trump supporters to silence speech.

Selective prosecution has been happening to Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer, and other non-white supremacist groups for years. The Portland area Patriot Prayer group held "free speech" events that were entirely non-violent, with speeches, flag waving and the like. These events would only turn violent when Antifa showed up to silence them. The Proud Boys, who hold free speech events, suffered from the same selective prosecutions because they like Donald Trump and it was socially acceptable to silence "fascists." Both groups were denounced by Portland officials and told never to set foot in Multnomah County. Antifa got a pass.

If the event happened almost a month ago, shouldn't the headline be:

Last Month a Federal Judge Nailed DOJ for Giving Pass to Antifa While Selectively Prosecuting Trump Supporters

Or did something new happen yesterday?

maybe re-posted because the words of the day today seem to be “selective prosecution”?

seems to be a lot of it going on but few judges strong enough to base a ruling on it.

2nd time Judge Cormac J. Carney has been in the news for his decisions in a month or so. Both decisions favorable to our side. He was an all Conference UCLA Wide receiver in the early 80’s.

[Robert DeLong]

Thanks for the additional information. Do you happen to remember what the other ruling was? If not, do not worry about it. 🙂

fifth article down

[Glad2bnuts]

The Proud Boys stepped in when the Police protected Aunteefa’s backside as they attacked our Pro-Maga rallies. Without them, we would have been thoroughly abused, possibly hospitalized, maybe killed. They Were/ARE Patriots.

I totally think it’s relevant for you to post this today, or even for PJ Media to take an old article from last month and move it up to their front page today as a flashback.

But if they publish an article on March 14 about something that happened on Feb. 21 they should not say “ Finally: Federal Judge Nails DOJ” because that makes it sound like they are reporters reporting news rather than commentators “finally” getting around to talking about last month’s news.

[thinden]

you may also consider identifying that my posting comment suggested that this piece was a re-post rather than inferring that I was being deceptive rather than making a point of relevance based on today's breaking news out of GA

[edwinland]

I criticized the headline of the article given its stated publication date of March 14th. Unless you wrote the headline I don’t see how that relates to you posting the article.

"Do you happen to remember what the other ruling was? If not, do not worry about it."

I believe this was it....
