Under Biden Administration, Feds Dismiss Dozens of Charges Against Portland Rioters
2021-03-05
[PJ] As the Biden administration has taken the reins of the Department of Justice, the feds have dismissed dozens of charges against violent rioters in Portland, Oregon. They have dropped charges such as assault on a law enforcement officer, arson, and other violent crimes. Many have been dropped with prejudice, meaning they can’t be re-litigated in the future. According to a local news outlet, federal prosecutors have dismissed more than one-third of the pending charges from last summer’s violent protests in Portland.

Uh huh.

#9  Dismissed because of insufficient evidence, or inadequate prosecutorial resources, or fear of initiating more violence, or belief the acts were more like 'free speech,' or because the people in charge agree with the 'cause.'

#8  The local Portland view about why this is no big deal is here [shakes head] Certainly not the same as the Jan 6 incident.

#7  Why wouldn't the Biden Admin. dismiss the charges against the Portland rioters? These riots were equivalent to a continued Reichstag fire.
