Of Course: Lawless Partisan DC Jury Refuses to Indict Left-Wing Hysteric Who Threw a Sandwich at ICE Officers

We need to permit defendants, and prosecutors, to remove their cases to neutral jurisdictions if they can show that the jurisdiction they're in is politically biased.

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday were unable to persuade a grand jury to approve a felony indictment against a man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent on the streets of Washington this month, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The grand jury's rejection of the felony charge was a remarkable failure by the U.S. attorney's office in Washington and the second time in recent days that a majority of grand jurors refused to vote to indict a person accused of felony assault on a federal agent. It also amounted to a sharp rebuke by a panel of ordinary citizens against the prosecutors assigned to bring charges against people arrested after President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops and federal agents to fight crime and patrol the city's streets.

...

It remained unclear if prosecutors planned to try again to obtain an indictment against Mr. Dunn, 37, a former Justice Department paralegal. They could also forgo seeking felony charges and refile his case as a misdemeanor, which does not require an indictment to move forward.

...

Before he threw the sandwich, the complaint asserts, Mr. Dunn stood within inches of the officer, calling him and his colleagues "fascists" and shouting, "I don't want you in my city!"

Conservatives cannot endure being convicted by rabid leftists over nothing while guilty-as-sin leftists are set free.

I have no idea why people don't take this issue seriously.

I have a guess: Boomer National Review-style fake conservatives always interpose a dreamy ideal of what America should be like to distract from what America actually is. They want it to be the case that jurors in all jurisdictions deliver fair verdicts untainted by bias, and therefore they insist that that is the case, and we'll just have to "work harder" if we want justice.

I'm sick to death of these people. They're not idealistic, they're simply cravenly denying reality.

Moral maturity means accepting the world as it is, not in insisting the world is different than it is and basing policy on that child-like dream of a false world. The National Review types think they're being virtuous by insisting, along with Candide, that we live in the best of all possible worlds.

That's not virtue, that's being obtuse.

They claim this makes them "happy warriors." It doesn't. It makes them saps and saboteurs in league with the left.

The left is waging war on us and the National Review types just tip their fedoras and say, "Huh-hoh! Good sport, jolly good sport indeed!"
