How many illegal immigrants waiting asylum hearings or accused of other criminal cases are being held in solitary confinement 23 hours a day for non violent offenses?
Tell that to the Biden admin. Maybe you missed the point of the thread?
I've never defended antifa or blm. Peacefully protest and you are good. Break stuff and you are not. Create a panic where people have to evacuated, still not good.
The problem is they are arresting people who didn't break anything. Kelly has been in court for each of these and is reporting on what is happening. If you're not defending Antifa, BLM, and groups like the NFAC then it's obvious to anyone being objective there is selective enforcement of the law going on. Any Democrat that thinks this is a winning strategy is drunk on power. Lots of swing voters will not tolerate this as they will see themselves next in line for simply wanting to protest people in power. It's trending toward Minority Report and wrong think and that's not going to fly in this country.
Notice how it's calmed down some since the election. Not coordinated with the DNC at all.
There’s a whole 6th amendment we have protection with. Also, add in the bail reform philosophy and justice reform Democrats seem to be about, these actions stand in stark contrast.
Their wait isn't uncommon in the system. Neither is solitary. And the right usually has no concerns about those issues, so hypocrisy runs rampant on both sides. Speaking of that, did the Cuban protesters who blocked traffic in Miami get arrested for the felony under the new Florida law?
FFS the law that DeSantis signed is for stiffer penalties for rioters breaking ****. It was already against the law to block traffic. It's a 15 dollar citation. Since I didn't see you on here complaining when BLM and Antifa did it we can just cut through the ********. You're upset the protesters against communist got a warning.
That law made blocking a highway a felony offense. Feel free to look into it yourself. I'm not mad those protesters were not arrested, but I'm curious to see if that restraint is used in future situations.
It should be used only if they are tearing **** up. Other than that it should be a 15 dollar citation or tell them to move on and give them a deadline. The Governor is probably going to leave it up to local discretion unless stuff is getting destroyed. Here are two in Tampa that got charged. Discretion can and should be used if nothing is getting broken or there isn't a big delay. The Police and Prosecutors don't have to always charge with the highest crime. However neither group should be blocking traffic. Protest in a way that doesn't do that and you won't piss a bunch of people off trying to get to work.
6 months of prime-trial confinement for non-violent offenses in solitary is beyond absurd. GTFOH. Even being held on pre-trial for these folks is absurd. This is an abuse of the system considering last summer’s events. Surely you can agree.
