Another 80 Pro-Palestinian Protesters Have the Chargers Against Them Dropped

[excalibur]

Unless it was J6.

This isn't even double standard, it is deliberate garbage.

And just when you thought this sort of trespass was a big deal.

​

​

It appears that criminal trespassing in the United States has been taken off the books. ​

​

Ten days ago, a Manhattan prosecutor dismissed charges against 31 pro-Palestinian protesters who occupied Hamilton Hall on Columbia University's campus. Their lack of criminal history and the “extremely limited video and security footage” available to prosecutors resulted in the release of the protesters.​

​

"All these matters are dismissed and sealed in the interest of justice," Judge Kevin McGrath announced in the courtroom.​

​

Some justice.​

​

On Wednesday, a prosecutor in Travis County, Texas, dismissed similar charges against 80 protesters. Delia Garza, a Democrat who is the elected attorney for Travis County, "determined it couldn’t meet the legal burden to prove the cases beyond a reasonable doubt," according to the Associated Press.​

​

What's happening? The reason prosecutors are dropping the charges is that radical law firms would have represented the protesters, which would have made prosecuting the offenders a nightmare. They could have tied up the courts for weeks, even months, until the DA would have dropped the charges out of exasperation.​

​

Lawfare by any other name.​

​

The UT protests were even more disruptive and violent than the demonstrations at Columbia.​

​

On April 29 at UT, officers in riot gear encircled about 100 sitting protesters, dragging or carrying them out one by one amid screams. Another group of demonstrators trapped police and a van full of arrestees between buildings, creating a mass of bodies pushing and shoving. Officers used pepper spray and flash-bang devices to clear the crowd.

​

The university said in a statement at the time that many of the protesters weren’t affiliated with the school and that encampments were prohibited on the campus in the state capital. The school also alleged that some demonstrators were “physically and verbally combative” with university staff, prompting officials to call law enforcement. The Texas Department of Public Safety said arrests were made at the behest of the university and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

​

​

Garza sympathized with the protesters and called out school authorities for siccing the police on the protesters. She said she wished the university leadership had looked for “another solution to allow these students to voice what they felt like they needed to voice.” ​

​

Enforcing the law is not part of Garza's portfolio.​

​

Meanwhile, UT officials were livid with Garza's grandstanding.​

​

In a statement, UT said the school was “deeply disappointed” by Garza’s actions, adding that the school “will continue to use the law enforcement and administrative tools at our disposal to maintain safety and operational continuity for our 53,000 students who come to campus to learn, regardless of whether the criminal justice system shares this commitment.”

​

“Free speech is welcome on our campus. Violating laws or rules is not,” the statement said. “Actions that violate laws and Institutional Rules should be met with consequences, not with political posturing and press conferences.”

​

That's the point. If you don't like the law, change it. We can do that in America. If you want to allow students or anyone else to violate property rights and not face any consequences, change the darn law. Don't get up on a soapbox and complain about the law and pretend you can't do anything about it.​

don't count out the fact that the insane lefts will riot outside the republican convention too.

Any mention of any NGO putting them out there in the first place to serve as useful idiots as well as a stalking horse for their endeavors to erase the First Amendment collectively and in one broad brush stroke? Because that's actually what importing and organizing all of this political exhibitionism is about in the first place.

I'll go ahead and just say no...likely not. Not even a whisper of these purveyors or their role in it.

So they'll keep on trying the same routine over and over until they succeed.

One of the perks of never being mentioned in all of this political exhibitionism, I suppose.

Americans really need to wake up and pay attention. They're being played...

This is horrifying for someone like me, with a Holocaust survivor - since deceased - in her family.

The message Bragg is sending is that if you are a Republican, you will be prosecuted for trumped-up charges and thrown in prison, but if you are a leftist - AND YOUR TARGET ARE JEWS - all is good.

Gd, please….let Trump have a good night, and Biden a bad one.

True one was a peaceful protest that turned into a riot

The other are just racist bigoted demklan brownshirts wanting to hurt people because they are Jews

And assaulted 140 cops.

Freedom Fighters and their supporters rejoice as the whole world celebrates the Evil Jewish nation being publicly flogged .

It's not smart to support Genocide , Nutty Yahoo .
Concentrate on your love of dogs and children if you are determined to be a Hitler impersonator .

The Columbia vermin had their charges dropped, 31 students, and another 14 non-students were arrested.

Stop Federal funding of all kinds for these fake 'colleges'; they 're violating civil rights laws no end.

These "welfare fighter" cowards were "flogging" the Jewish nation,
or attacking a synagogue with elderly, and started whining when
the reset of the neighborhood came to rescue?

Because all you keyboard warriors who fled Gaza to the west,
aren't men enough to join the real war, all your mob macho
comes down to hiding behind masks and your women,
while attacking random people walking their dogs.

Is there a more cowardly bunch?
