The Justice System's Double Standard on Charlottesville & BLM Led Directly to the Deadly Waukesha Parade Attack

A Milwaukee D.A.'s release of a violent BLM supporter on $1,000 bond is the reason that five people died and over forty people were injured in a parade attack on Sunday.

On Tuesday, a federal jury awarded $25 million in damages to victims of the Charlottesville attack during a "Unite the Right" rally in 2017. The jury’s decision to award millions in damages may have been justice in this case, but it highlights the severe rift in the U.S. justice system when it comes to other riots and attacks, such as Black Lives Matter riots and the Waukesha parade attack on Sunday.

Before examining how the legal system’s ‘blind spot’ for BLM radicals leads to deadly attacks like Americans witnessed to their horror on Sunday in Waukesha, the Charlottesville case merits a brief review.

The jury's decision on the rally that “left dozens wounded and one anti-racism activist dead” was reported by Buzzfeed News.

"A jury found a group of the most notorious white supremacist leaders and organizations in the United States violated state civil rights laws by conspiring to commit racially motivated violence at the 2017 'Unite the Right' rally — and ordered them to pay more than $25 million in damages to their victims," Buzzfeed reported.

"The 11 jurors came to the decision on Tuesday after a four-week civil trial that was punctuated with emotional victim testimony, descriptions of horrific violence, and bizarre outbursts that sometimes sounded more like Nazi propaganda than courtroom dialogue," the report added.

While the main takeaway is innocuous enough, digging beneath the surface exposes many ugly facts about the mainstream media and the U.S. justice system.

In a blow to the Charlottesville case similar to that we have seen to the January 6 narrative, the jury was not able to reach a unanimous decision on federal conspiracy charges. The New York Times had branded the Charlottesville rally the result of a "far right conspiracy" initially.

It's headline on-page, currently, has to concede that there was no federal "conspiracy" found in this case.

"Jurors on Tuesday found the main organizers of the deadly right-wing rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017 liable under state law for injuries to counterprotesters, awarding more than $25 million in damages," the Times noted. "But the jury deadlocked on two federal conspiracy charges."

In an account reminiscent of the FBI's failure to find a centralized plot in the January 6 riot (often referred to incorrectly as an "insurrection"), the strands of the case did not add up to an overarching "conspiracy."

Interestingly, the Times emphasizes that Charlottesville was a "deadly" right-wing rally. A "neo-nazi" was said to have rammed his car into the crowd, killing one and injuring 35 others.

The incident recalls immediately the Waukesha parade attack this weekend, when a radical 'black supremacist' named Darrell Edward Brooks drove his car into a parade of elderly people, women and children.
