DC Court Admits That BLM Vandals Were Treated Better Than Pro-Life Protesters

The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, DC just admitted something that millions of people already knew. Black Lives Matter radicals in DC were given special treatment, especially when compared to some pro-life protesters.

This is just one incident but it’s symbolic of a much bigger issue, the two-tiered justice system that punishes anything and everyone conservative much more harshly than people on the left.

We have seen this unfold over and over again in recent years.

Townhall reports:

DC Court Admits What We Already Knew About BLM Vandals Versus Pro-Life Protesters

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found the city “all but abandoned enforcement of the defacement ordinance” during the Black Lives Matter protests and riots in 2020 while going after pro-life protesters who used chalk outside an abortion clinic.

The Frederick Douglass Foundation and Students for Life of America filed the lawsuit against the city after two pro-life activists were arrested in 2020. The court agreed Washington, D.C. “selectively” enforced the anti-graffiti ordinance and found numerous examples of BLM vandals getting away with defacing property with anti-police messages:

The District all but abandoned enforcement of the defacement ordinance during the Black Lives Matter protests, creating a de facto categorical exemption for individuals who marked ‘Black Lives Matter’ messages on public and private property. The complaint offers a number of examples. The day after Mayor Bowser’s street mural was revealed, protestors added an equal sign and ‘Defund the Police,’ so the message read ‘Black Lives Matter = Defund the Police.’

Police officers watched as the alteration took place and did nothing to stop it. Although the Black Lives Matter advocates did not seek a permit or otherwise receive consent, they were neither arrested nor charged under the defacement ordinance. In fact, the District left the addition in place for months, eventually removing it in mid-August.

Again, most people already knew this but it’s nice to get confirmation.

In 2020, DC police arrested 2 pro-life protesters for chalking “Black Pre-Born Lives Matter” but never arrested any BLM protesters for covering streets, sidewalks, and storefronts with paint and chalk.

Stephen Miller: “This Is a Truly Authoritarian Ideology from the Left That We Are Seeing in America Today – They’re Laying Out the Template to Criminalize Speech” (Video)

Former Trump Chief Advisor Stephen Miller joined Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle on Wednesday night.

Stephen Miller aptly explains how the totalitarian left is set on criminalizing speech in America today.

Stephen Miller: They’re giddy about it. They’re gleeful, they’re excited. Their goal is to pull up Trumpist populism by root and branch from this country. And as you said, they will fail, and they will fail spectacularly. But they’re going to cause as much damage, as much human personal damage, not just to try to hurt President Trump, but to hurt his allies, hurt his supporters financially, ruin and jail anyone that they can that’s associated with him and inflict as much pain as possible. That’s their objective. It’s openly political. It’s an open vendetta. And ultimately, the American people are going to have to decide whether or not that is a system, that is an authoritarian ideology they want to support…

…At least, foreign despotic regimes pretend the people they are jailing are guilty of spying, that they’re agents of a foreign country. Now, here in America we’re jailing people for speech we don’t like. We’re imprisoning people for asking them to lobby a state legislature or watch a particular TV program.

That’s where we’ve gotten to in this country. We’re going to throw conservative lawyers in jail if we disagree with their faithfully argued legal theories. As I said, this is a truly authoritarian ideology that we are seeing from the left in America today, from the Democratic Party in America today. And I believe that they are laying out the template to criminalize speech and political dissent amongst everyday Americans.

Let’s pray it’s not too late to save this great country!
