Is this how cases are decided these days in our courts? Pointing to bad behavior of the "other-side" as an excuse for said bad behavior? Should not the law review cases to make sure sentencing is equally applied? Not based on who the judge thinks is being favored?
"Carney earlier this year dismissed criminal charges against two accused members of the Rise Above Movement, his second time doing so in five years. The judge ruled that Robert Rundo and Robert Boman were being selectively prosecuted, while “far-left extremist groups” were not.
In a sentencing memorandum distributed at Laube's hearing, Carney, a George W. Bush appointee, again criticized the prosecution of only Rise Above members, "ignoring individuals associated with Antifa and related far-left groups.""
