Mark Steyn concludes his column “America’s PoliticalPrisoners”:
In post-constitutional America,
there is no equality before the law: If you riot violently in Minneapolis or
Portland, you'll be cheered on by the media and Democrats, and bailed out by
Seth Rogen or a Kamala Harris staffer. If you're let into the US Capitol by its
so-called "police" and leave the statuary et al untouched, you'll be
charged with trespassing, and, despite having no criminal record, will languish
in prison (for over four months so far) until trial begins.
Those jailed for the events of
January 6th are what we would call in other countries "political
prisoners". Mr Chansley is in the slammer to concentrate his mind: right
now, it's trespassing, but we see you used an ATM en route to DC, and you wouldn't want us to throw in
"disrupting interstate commerce", would you?
As I've said for a long time,
"federal justice" is an oxymoron - and, if you get a whiff that
you're attracting the attention of this dirty rotten stinkin' evil system, flee
the country. Meanwhile, I'm thinking of making a complaint to the UN Human
Rights Council about the detainees of January 6th: If nothing else, it'll give
the Cubans and Sudanese a laugh.
