The Left's Campaign Against Self-Defense
By Janet Levy

Last week, federal prosecutors offered an undisclosed plea deal to two lawyers who firebombed an NYPD van and drove around passing out Molotov cocktails to protesters at a violent May 2020 Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest in Brooklyn. Urooj Rahman, 31, and Colinford Mattis, 32, who was driving the car used in the crime, had been indicted in June for arson, conspiracy, and the use of explosives. They faced life imprisonment.

In the name of “social justice,” politicians and the judiciary in many cities and states are bestowing moral rights on violent left-wing and anarchist groups. District attorney Mike Schmidt, for instance, announced in August that he won’t prosecute most of the 550 people arrested during the 75 days of mayhem in Portland last spring. He said the leniency was an attempt to “create a forum” to express “collective grief, anger, and frustration” at the death of George Floyd and the history of abuses endured by people of color. Worse, he said using the criminal justice system against them would “undermine public safety” for those “demanding to be heard.” Schmidt, his Democrat cohort, and leftist sympathizers in journalism, law, and academia willfully ignore the fact that such misplaced clemency condones and encourages militant groups’ violence, their disrespect for the law, and their anti-American agenda.

In stark contrast, prosecutors are bearing down heavily on gun owners who defended themselves at protests by militant leftist groups like Antifa and BLM. Under threat are the Second Amendment right to bear arms and the legal justification to act in self-defense.

It's not "individual self defense" the leftist/communists are after.

Rather, it's the notion of "group self-defense" -- of the American people against government tyranny.

The only way to remove that roadblock which keeps them from exercising total power over Americans is to get rid of the Second Amendment.

But ... they can't come out and SAY that.

So they'll employ any other possible argument by which to revoke the Second Amendment and disarm citizens.

And when they achieve this goal, they'll become unstoppable.

Once again the left is showing its double standard on violence and who perpetrates the violent acts.

It is perfectly ok for people to commit violent acts when it furthers the Liberal agenda and goals.

They take a zero tolerance position on you or I shooting dead a member of their voting base who forcible enters my home to steal what I have and harm my family.

Oh, no.

The Rodents don't want individuals to be able to resist them.   If individuals can resist, they can't kidnap the next Elian Gonzalez and ship him back to Cuba, they can't burst in doors and kidnap jews to the concentration camps at midnight.

The Rodents don't want groups to be able to resist, because groups are more likely to know what a tall tree and short ropes are for, and more likely to gain access to the fruit used to decorate tall trees during interesting times.

The Rodents want to be able to go to anyone, at any time, and abuse them.   And to any group, too.
