In his decision, a judge agreed that the alleged white nationalists were being selectively prosecuted instead of 'far-left extremist groups, such as Antifa.'
Rundo was accused not just of organizing the violent confrontations, but also of attacking protesters and police officers. After Rundo was ordered by police to stop attacking a “defenseless person” during the Berkeley protest, he allegedly punched an officer twice in the head, according to an arrest warrant.
I have a feeling if someone with “far left” beliefs showed up in his courtroom with the same charges, he wouldn’t hesitate to throw the book at them. This decision seems ripe for overturning on appeal, since he literally says in his decision “there’s no doubt they committed these violent acts.”
Yeah I’m not even really sure what constitutes “far left” in the American political spectrum. Like, I do believe food should be a right, but that’s along the lines of “no one deserves to starve if we produce more food than we need” and that doesn’t feel radical to me.
Right? I don’t think a clump of cells should be prioritized over a woman’s mental or physical well-being. Apparently I may as well have a hammer in one hand, a sickle in the other, and be out in the streets mowing down small business owners.

I like how you put “far left” in quotes. Because I’m not far left but I am “far left”.

Prosecutorial discretion seems like a valid explanation
What? Are you telling me eco terrorists who did this would never see the light of day again? Or that communists who assault cops die?
Yeah the left knows we don’t get the kiddie gloves. When we fight we know the risks
