“For many of these commercial burglaries, you will be asked to reduce the initial felony charge to a misdemeanor and to dispose of the case … with an eye towards rehabilitation.”

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) is among those questioning the clear discrepancies between the application of law for those who attended President Trump’s January 6th rally and then entered the Capitol building and for those who spent the bulk of last year burning, looting, and murdering their way through Democrat-run cities.

As hundreds of the former are to this day still being held in custody, with at least one beaten and permanently disfigured by jail guards, New York City has dropped charges on hundreds of alleged looters, many of whom were caught on video smashing windows, stealing goods, and setting businesses on fire.

NBC News reports:

    In late May and early June 2020, looters smashed storefronts in the Bronx and Manhattan boroughs of New York City.

    Many were caught on tape, some with their faces visible. Others even posted their own videos of their actions those nights on social media. Hundreds were arrested.

    But a review of NYPD data by the investigative team at WNBC, the NBC owned station in New York, shows that a large percentage of the cases — particularly in the Bronx — were dismissed, and that many convictions were for counts like trespassing that carry no jail time.

    . . . . According to the data, 118 arrests were made in the Bronx during the worst of the looting in early June.

    Since then, the NYPD says the Bronx district attorney and the courts have dismissed most of those cases — 73 in all. Eighteen cases remain open and there have been 19 convictions for mostly lesser counts like trespassing, counts which carry no jail time.
