The destruction of our judicial system continues apace

It’s been obvious for years, but the principle of equal justice under the law has been eroding at an ever faster pace, as the Trump show trials, the BLM riots, January 6th riot, and, now the pro-Hamas demonstrations have shown.

You Can Protest Republicans, but...Protesters Arrested Outside Schumer's Residence

For years, the Democrats have celebrated protesters harassing conservatives, using bullhorns outside conservative homes at all hours of the night. They encourage people to drive Republicans out of the public square. They piously proclaim that free speech means you can harass any Republican in any manner you like. Remember those protesters outside Amy Comey Barrett's and Brett Kavanaugh's houses?

No biggie.

A Republican "misgenders" a trans person they are a Nazi and you can harass them all day, every day. You can shout them down, drive them away from any speech, protests outside their homes with bullhorns, and we are told that this is what democracy looks like. 

Annoy Chuck Schumer and out come the truncheons. 

When a Republican says "arrest them," we are fascists. When a Democrat says "arrest them," they arrest them. 

As Senator Chuck Schumer of New York prepared for a final vote to pass an aid package that would provide $26 billion to Israel and billions more to Ukraine and Taiwan, it appeared that at least 100 protesters were arrested after blocking traffic in his Brooklyn neighborhood on the second night of Passover to call for an end to the United States’ military support of Israel.

Though Mr. Schumer, the Democratic majority leader, was in Washington, demonstrators rallied on Tuesday in Grand Army Plaza, one block away from his Brooklyn home, a common site of protests since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war. As the sun set, hundreds of people gathered around a circular banner representing a Seder plate, which included the words “Jews say stop arming Israel” alongside images of foods eaten during the Seder meal.

Schumer was in Washington, but that didn't matter. He lives in a shi-shi area and you can't disturb his neighbors, who almost to a person are wealthy Democrats. Wealthy, well-connected Democrats. 

Now I am all for arresting these people. They were blocking the road. They weren't permitted to protest then and there. They are thugs taking over a city. 

It just would be nice if the same rules applied to everybody. 

They never will.
