Leftist Leniency on Favored Political Violence Demonstrates Devotion to Injustice
There’s a brewing backlash against progressives for being soft on crime. There ought to be an equivalent backlash against progressives who are hard on thought crimes
Left’s Leniency on Its Political Violence Demonstrates Its Devotion to Injustice
The deafening silence over the plot to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, combined with the left’s lenient prosecutions of BLM rioters, while Capitol breachers are treated like terrorists, provides yet another crystal-clear illustration of the bad faith with which the left operates, and the devotion to injustice to which it adheres.
In a new piece at The Epoch Times, I unpack this argument.
As I conclude, after chronicling some of the remarkable sweetheart deals the Biden Department of Justice has inked with those engaged in some of the most heinous and violent acts of the 1619 Riots of summer 2020:
There is parallelism in blue cities, where leftist district attorneys too have treated criminality as acceptable.
In the former instance, the left justifies its political violence by claiming the perpetrators are righteously angry about societal injustice.
In the latter, the left justifies leniency by claiming that society is at fault for criminal behavior, and that legal punishment only victimizes the criminals further.
Thankfully, as can be seen in the recall of Chesa Boudin in San Francisco, and the fact his Los Angeles counterpart George Gascón might face a similar fate, there’s a brewing backlash against progressives for being soft on crime.
But there ought to be an equivalent backlash against progressives who are hard on thought crimes—that is who criminalize political dissent and punish dissenters more harshly than their partisans.
Actual justice demands it.
