PORTLAND, Ore. — Federal prosecutors have dismissed more than one-third of cases stemming from last summer’s violent protests in downtown Portland, when protesters clashed with federal agents. KGW reviewed federal court records and found 31 of the 90 protest cases have been dismissed by the U.S. Department of Justice, including a mix of misdemeanor and felony charges.
Some of the most serious charges dropped include four defendants charged with assaulting a federal officer, which is a felony. More than half of the dropped charges were “dismissed with prejudice,” which several former federal prosecutors described as extremely rare. “Dismissed with prejudice” means the case can’t be brought back to court.
Feds quietly dismiss dozens of Portland protest cases
I have to say that although disappointed, I am not surprised this is happening. It fits the Socialist playbook That I have seen before in Venezuela: Commit crimes in the name of the Revolution and you will be released from jail if you are caught. Chavista goons had no problem attacking those daring to raise their voices against the Socialist government and suffered no legal consequences. In some cases killing people opposing the government took a bit longer to clear up like the mass shooting and killing in Plaza Altamira of Caracas by one Joao de Gouveia who had the misfortune to get caught by the mob, had to be rescued by cops, was tried, sentenced, put in prison and after a year, suddenly nobody knows where he is. And please, if you know what is good for you, stop asking his whereabouts.
And it is going to get worse.
Seems as if they realized they’ll be needing that group of their troopers again.
But we have to mobilize the National Guard and “build the wall” to “protect” DC because some Republicans questioned the legitimacy of China Joe’s election.
I wonder when business owners will say enough is enough and take matters into thier own hands..
Moving out is safer.
And the best part?
The barrier that Orange Man Bad had erected to protect the Federal Courthouse — and the innocent people inside — from antifa/blm “mostly peaceful” protests in Portland is coming down. It’ll be gone by the end of the week.
Because that’s the message they want to send. Spend a day trying to destroy a federal building, and they’ll put up a wall to defend it. Spend a year trying to destroy that same building, and they’ll take the wall down and let it happen.
