I wonder if there’s some sort of link between being racist and pandering to far right terrorists…
There seems to be little doubt that Defendants, or at least some members of RAM, engaged in criminal violence. But they cannot be selected for prosecution because of their repugnant speech and beliefs over those who committed the same violence with the goal of disrupting political events
That’s actually part of the judge’s decision. “These people are guilty, but since you didn’t prosecute those other people, too bad.”
“I don’t believe it’s warranted that Mr. Rundo spend one minute more in custody, so I’m going to release him forthwith,” Carney said. “I feel very comfortable in the decision I’ve made.”
Of course he feels comfortable with that. He’s one of the white supremacists.
He’s a white hooded judge. Of course he’s comfortable.
“Arrest the President of Antifa immediately for unauthorized libbing.”
And that’s right after the part where he equates Trump supporters with Nazis.

I don’t know, I used to think that was true, but look how many January 6th terrorists have been given slaps on the wrist. Nothing is happening.
Nothing will change until organization takes place. Assuming you’re in the USA, join your local climate activist group. Nearly any group will do, or if you’re inclined you could start your own. You will meet like-minded people in a driven atmosphere. Can’t make meetings regularly? Go when you can, even if it’s just once every other month. Like a true democracy, collective thought and action is the only true way to stomp out fascism. We need to band together beyond our devices for our voices to be heard.

The irony would be if it’s a white supremacist that does it.
US District Judge and White Supremacist Cormac J Carney
That’s future Republican Supreme Court nominee white supremacist Cormac J Carney to you bub.
Of course there is a bias against neo-nazi fascists in this country. See, there’s this little thing called World War II that we all learned about in school where millions died and the world joined forces to put a stop to nazis. So I suspect a vast majority of adults these days think nazis are scum of the earth. And rightfully so.
No worries, they plan on completely solving that problem. Just gotta stop learning about it in school, problem solved.
Remember when the Right used to scream about Judicial Activism?
Commenting again because I don’t want anyone looking at the modlog to draw an absolutely wrong conclusion (for apparently a second time): It looks like distinguishing between discussing the possibility that violence, vigilante and otherwise, might be the result of these kinds of decisions, and advocating the same–which neither I nor, best I can tell, anyone else here has done–is a level of nuance that may be too much to ask. So be it, but accusing me of advocating violence in a public forum is an accusation to which I’m afraid I must vehemently and publicly respond and deny.
“When people can no longer rely on the courts to adjudicate crime, they will adjudicate it themselves. The next agent who catches up with this nazi might decide it’s not worth the trouble to bring him back alive.” To be quite clear: I think this is a bad thing, because I’m an officer of the courts of this country, and vigilantism should be avoided at all costs just because guillotines don’t have good judgment, if for no other reason. But it may be a result all the same, and hushing those who whisper of its spectre, even with the best of intentions, will not prevent it.
Remove this one as well, and let of it a record be. [And mods, if you don’t want the modlog discussed, add that to the rules.]
It’s pretty sad that your comments were removed, as discussing the logical conclusion of these situations is important.
We can’t simply plug our ears and ignore the very real dangers of the justice system failing to punish people (whether justified or not). When people determine they have no other recourse, political violence is the logical conclusion of such a situation.
It’s a terrible thing that there is a real chance for political violence to become mainstream, and simply ignoring that possibility is more dangerous than addressing it openly.
Yea, there is. We called it WW2.
Don’t start shit and there won’t be shit. That part is unbiased.
There’s more about this asshole judge’s college football career than his legal career in his Wikipedia:
“Would somebody please think of the white supremacists!” /s
Fuck this judge.
Basically admitting to being a Nazi fuck.
“The state is prosecuting murderers instead of jaywalkers, better let the murderers go!”
What are the remedies here?
-removed-
Seems like the prosecutors must have fucked up. And very badly at that .
Sounds like the prosecutors simply need to prosecute crimes equally and this ceases to be an issue.
They are, this judge is just making shit up to justify letting his fellow Nazis get away with their political violence
The defendants literally demonstrated in court there is a political bias in who is prosecuted. Hence, this article.
If you don’t want defendants going free, we need to stop unequally charging them.
There’s political bias to charge criminals with crime?
