Apparently, Alvin Bragg is worn out.
Bragg is the Manhattan district attorney who has devoted much of his tenure to prosecuting Donald Trump and making a name for himself with the politically motivated case involving falsified business records that ended last month in felony convictions.
If the defendant isn’t a former Republican president named Trump, then Bragg loses interest in pursuing “justice.”

At least, that’s sure how it looks.
When it comes to most of the 46 cases against pro-Palestinian looters who sieged Hamilton Hall at Columbia University on April 30, Bragg recently decided to drop charges.
Purportedly, prosecutors don’t think they have enough evidence to win at trial, because the perpetrators wore masks and covered security cameras.
In their 17-hour occupation of the hall, the students and other malcontents wreaked havoc, smashing desks, chairs and windows – not to mention the disruption and mayhem they caused on campus.
These vandals should not go scot-free.
DEI unravels: DEI is unraveling at our universities. Good riddance to a failed and divisive bureaucracy.
Bragg is setting a terrible precedent

If students can engage in such damaging conduct and face zero legal repercussions, it will embolden others to do the same thing.
It’s not cute or faddish to don a keffiyeh on your head and forcefully take over a public building. Yet, such bad behavior has occurred on college campuses around the country.
Other disruptive pro-Palestinian protests that include vandalism and violence have erupted in places from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles.
Hate-fueled protests: Pro-Palestinian protesters spew antisemitic hate. Why aren't more Americans angry?
The violence is bad enough, but the hateful and antisemitic messages attached to it make it even worse.
For instance, last weekend in L.A., pro-Palestinian activists targeted a synagogue in a Jewish neighborhood, blocking the entrance. They chanted “free, free Palestine – from the river to the sea,” and “long live intifada,” which are extremely hateful messages for Jews.
To his credit, President Joe Biden interrupted his presidential debate prep and issued a strong condemnation of the antisemitism on display in one of the most progressive states in the nation.
“I’m appalled by the scenes outside of Adas Torah synagogue in Los Angeles. Intimidating Jewish congregants is dangerous, unconscionable, antisemitic, and un-American,” the president posted on X.
“Americans have a right to peaceful protest. But blocking access to a house of worship – and engaging in violence – is never acceptable.”
The article goes on to say that the majority of Americans are not swayed by the college protests and such. But the object is not to sway the average American, the object is to indoctrinate America's future leaders like Alvin Brag who will take the entire nation kicking and screaming with them to the very depths of a Left wing hell.
To be pro Hamas is to be pro establishment, to have sold your soul to "the man".
It is the same exact reason the government refused to press charges against Hillary
