In his decision, a judge agreed that the alleged white nationalists were being selectively prosecuted instead of 'far-left extremist groups, such as Antifa.'
It’s unequal in that they’re already more likely to prosecute minorities. Somehow I doubt prosecution of more white people would have changed this judge’s mind.
If an individual commits one crime, prosecute them. If a different individual commits seven crimes, prosecute them seven times. That is equal treatment. Scale up to any political or racial group and that is the model that is to be followed.
In this case, certain political groups get prosecuted at lower rates due to their politics. That is a problem that will continue, and people will continue to go free, unless prosecutors treat groups equally regardless of their politics, race, sex, etc.
They are, this judge is just making shit up to justify letting his fellow Nazis get away with their political violence
Clearly not as the defendants literally demonstrated in court there is a political bias in who is prosecuted.
There’s political bias to charge criminals with crime?

Before the Internet, I knew there were dumb fucks in this world. I could just never, ever imagine how many of them there are.
Thanks to the Internet, now I know.
They know exactly what they’re doing.
Since when does the group you belong to matter in court?
I thought we’re all the same in the eyes of the law.
Not sure since when it started, but the defendants were able to demonstrate we aren’t. Which is something that needs fixing ASAP.
Did they demonstrate it? I don’t see any evidence of that.
So, he should be prosecuted right?
