Unequal Justice?

If you're talking about the judge's decision, I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Can you even imagine an American court allowing a Black or Muslim radical to leave the country??? I know, I know, that's different. ;)
Agreed. No, she's obviously not a flight risk but you don't allow anyone to leave the country if there are criminal charges against them.

Why not?

Should you be allowed to leave the country for vacation if there are misdemeanor charges against you? What about speeding, or some other moving violation? At what point should you not be allowed to vacation outside the country?

She’s not a flight risk and facing misdemeanor charges. Why the outrage?

Where’s the request being denied for a black or Muslim person facing only misdemeanor charges? Or are you just imagining a scenario that doesn’t really exist?

If it had been a group of Blacks or Muslims who did the exact, same thing as this yahoo and her friends, they sure has hell wouldn't have gotten 'slap-on-the-wrist,' misdemeanor charges.

Misdemeanor charges for storming the Capitol? You can't make this shit up!

The article says they may be upping the charges against her. If it's just a misdemeanor, let her go to cancun. I disagree with the judge on this because there is a chance that she will be charged with a felony. It seems like that should be enough to say she probably shouldn't leave the country for a little while.

This has no basis in reality, and is purely hypothetical conjecture. The sad thing is you let it dictate your view of the world.

Oh, they may be upping the charges? Sounds very serious. What’s the holdup?

No basis in reality? So you believe an arrest for storming the U.S. Capitol building was rightly a misdemeanor and not a felony?

Yeah, no White Privilege to see here. :)
 
How many people got felonies for burning down cities, police stations. etc? I thought lawlessness was cool?

Your victim card is strong.
So is your stupidity if you think people supported any of the inner-city race riots last summer. The vast majority of George Floyd protests were peaceful.
 
Imagine trying to claim the moral high ground when your cult stormed the US Capitol one month ago for crying out loud!!!!
meanwhile yall are showing up with guns and shooting politicians:

or trying to storm the whitehouse:

you silly bitch

You can’t be serious... of course people supported the race riots last summer.

Kamala Harris tweeted a link asking people to support the Minnesota Freedom Fund to bail some of those peaceful people out of jail.

You don’t get arrested for walking down the sidewalk with a sign and being angry but respectful.

No you don't, if you're white and holding a MAGA sign. If you're a minority, it's a completely different story. The stark display of unequal justice on display last summer explains why some people like Kamala Harris were supporting the Freedom Fund.

Yeah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. 🙄

Given the stupid, ham-handed way the authorities in Minneapolis handled things in the immediate aftermath of George Floyd's death, the minority community was so outraged it rioted -- and a whole bunch of opportunists took advantage of the situation. But let's be clear here: Nobody condoned the riots. I read that 93% of the protests last summer were peaceful.

The mere notion of comparing a minority community's riotings to protest the choking death of a black man by a police officer in the immediate aftermath of his death to the storming of the United States Capitol is asinine and shows how out-of-touch with reality some people are.
 
People like KNIGHTTIME refuse to even acknowledge unequal justice exists, let alone discuss it.

Instead, the thread gets hijacked with the same, tired old song and dance.

What broken laws are being ignored? What law should these white people be charged with breaking that they would be charged with if they were black?

Are you opining with a straight face that if a group of BLM protesters stormed the Capitol, the aftermath would have been the same?
 
What law?
There are laws on the books against the destruction of government property, rioting or inciting to riot, conspiracy, burglary, assaulting a police officer, carrying a dangerous weapon, unlawful entry, prohibited entry into restricted grounds, seditious conspiracy, and insurrection.

The woman highlighted in the OP was charged with disorderly conduct. By contrast, some of the BLM protesters across the country have been hit with punitive, felony charges for acts of civil disobedience, in what civil rights experts say is a “suppression tactic” aimed at quashing the anti-racism movement.

Did she destroy property? What’s the evidence?

Did she riot or incite a riot? What’s the evidence?

Did she assault an officer? Where’s the evidence?

Was she carrying a dangerous weapon? What’s the evidence?

What evidence is there for any of those more serious charges? If they can’t convict her for them, that’s why she wasn’t charged with them. It’s very simple.

As for your article... are you saying someone shouldn’t be charged for explicitly calling for doxxing? Did you read far enough down to see those charges were dismissed?

dude, nobody agrees with you almost ever. quit talking like you're speaking to a group of your fans, most people here feel bad for you cuz you're clearly a bitter old codger.
 
More of my "hypothetical bullshit."
Still wondering why that article omitted the fact that police shot and killed a white woman inside the building...

It certainly seems relevant to a comparison of police reactions to two different situations. Maybe it doesn’t fit the story they were spinning?

Yeah, it's not like a mob had just smashed a window in a effort to storm inside the Capitol and this Trump-loving 'patriot' was the first one to jump inside or anything. 🙄

Jesus, to hear these Trumpets talk, you'd think a f*king insurrection was a peaceful little tour of the Capitol building!!!

To be unable -- or unwilling -- to see the stark difference in the lead-up to 'the rally' and its aftermath says it all.

I’m not complaining about her being shot. She deserved to be shot. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I’m pointing out that an article that you linked doesn’t even f*cking mention it when comparing the police responses.

When you’re pointing out the most aggressive responses to one incident (or several dozen incidents) and contrasting them against the LEAST aggressive responses to another, you’re not being honest with your readers. But the truth is inconvenient when you have a point of view to peddle.

you really crying about smashed windows after you said it was okay to burn down Target, Wendy's, Autozone, etc because they had insurance?

This had zero to do with the media coverage. I simply linked an article that spoke to my point.

I'll happily speak to the stark differences between the way the DC summer protest was handled and the Jan. 6th Capitol 'protest.' We could talk about the lead-up to them, the events themselves, or their aftermath. All aspects of these two events prove my point: White privilege makes all the difference in the world to how a protest is perceived - be it law enforcement or the subsequent judicial response.

Were any of the summer rioters held without bail for misdemeanor trespassing like the "Cowboys For Trump" guy?

And I’m pointing out that the linked article is biased garbage that’s cherry picking to be misleading at best.

“See all the times around the country last summer where police were rough with people who were rioting? Now look at a few people at the Capitol who weren’t treated that way. Please ignore the woman who was shot by police to stop her from advancing into the Capitol any further. Also ignore the many hundreds of thousands of people who actually protested peacefully around the country last summer who had no problems with police at all.”

What was cherry picked to present a misleading picture?
  • Was it law enforcement's preparations for the two events?
  • Was it the behavior of the BLM demonstrators in DC's Lafayette Park near the White House versus the protesters who marched to the Capitol?
  • Was it in the way that neighboring national guard units were deployed?
  • Was it in the way the police handled arrests and subsequent prosecutions?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Sigh...

What was cherry picked? Leaving out the most extreme police response from the Capitol invasion (fatally shooting a woman in the neck) seems like cherry-picking to me.

As for how they prepared for January 6th... This was easily the first time we’ve seen a Trump rally turn into unruly behavior like that, so why expect it to turn violent at the Capitol? We’ve seen plenty of BLM protests commandeered by people who want to destroy property and loot businesses, so clearly there’s some precedent to suggest a heavy police presence would be needed.

Is that really so hard to grasp?

@DaShuckster is not a legitimate sparring partner. Never has been, never will be. He's not interested in having a discussion that weighs both sides, he's only interested in straw-manning what you say, then doing this weird thing where he tries to put his poor understanding of your argument on display like he's speaking to a crowd.

He probably subjects his wife (who most certainly looks like a man) and drug-addict kids to the same, so its quite normal that he feels like an authority figure when he does it. Just ask to denounce pedophilia, and laugh at how he's so beholden to his party of pedo's that he can't even do that.
