Innocent protesters are languishing in DC jail cells – with no
due process and no relief in sight. Patricia
McCarthy at American Thinker reports:
Julie Kelly
at American Greatness has been doing yeoman work exposing the crimes
of the D.C. leftists who have targeted, arrested, and imprisoned hundreds of
people who attended President Trump's speech and may have wandered toward or
even into the Capitol on January 6. While there were some bad actors
there that day, most likely Antifa/BLM interlopers or genuine lunatics, most of
those present were actually invited into the Capitol building, as some of the
video has shown.
Who ordered the Capitol police to
stand down? Probably Pelosi, who very much wanted an
"incident" with which to tar and feather Trump and his
supporters. It was possibly a calculated set-up. Who else
was involved remains to be seen, but as everyone knows by now, that event has
been blown so far out of proportion as to no longer resemble at all what
actually took place.
Unlike the Antifa/BLM riots that
occurred across the country over the summer of 2020, the incident that day was
like a schoolyard scuffle compared to the violent, destructive, and even
murderous conflagrations that did hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to
numerous cities. People need to be reminded that the left, most
especially Kamala Harris, Biden, and the leftmedia in its entirety, either
supported those "protests" or called them "mostly peaceful"
— which they certainly were not.
As for those caught up in the
January 6 mêlée, not one of those who have been locked up, some in solitary
confinement was armed. Not one. The only person killed
was Ashli Babbitt, shot to death by a Capitol Police officer. She
was not armed. The officer who shot her has yet to be named;
Babbitt's family is suing to learn his identity. Curious, since when
a criminal is killed by police in the commission of a crime, the officer involved
is usually identified and suspended immediately, even if the shooting was
righteous. Something
is very rotten in Denmark.
. . .
Indeed, the weaponization of all
our federal institutions under the Obama administration transformed this nation
in ways few of us could imagine. Those alphabet agencies, by then
viciously anti-Trump, kicked into high gear the minute Trump won the 2016
election. Over the next four years, from the Russia collusion hoax
to two phony impeachments to January 6, America became something like Putin's
Russia.
. . .
What is happening there is not only
indefensible but depraved. Julie
Kelly has heard from some of those imprisoned that they are being
punished for what was revealed on Mark Levin's Sunday program. Can
this be happening in America? It is happening.
. . .
Please, complacent GOP, go to bat
for those people in the D.C. version of a Soviet labor camp. Rescue
them. Stand and deliver. Now is the time.
