Saying prosecutors should focus on Antifa, judge frees white supremacist in beating
Calif. judge gives man light sentence because of 'lack of punishment ... of far left groups.' Yet Antifa members are on trial one county away.
In his sentencing memo Thursday, U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney made it clear why he was letting Tyler Laube off lightly.
It wasn’t just because of what Laube did or didn’t do – the defendant had already confessed to beating a journalist at a 2017 Southern California rally and pleaded guilty to violating riot laws as part of a white supremacist gang.
Laube deserved a light sentence, Carney said, because prosecutors should have focused on leftist groups.
In a 22-page memo, Carney repeatedly said prosecutors have “ignored” violence committed by Antifa and instead focused on targeting people like Laube – Trump supporters and members of the far right.

The federal judge’s strong words – and clear political bent – are as unusual as they are uninformed, legal experts told USA TODAY.
“He’s really gone off the deep end,” said John Donohue, a professor at Stanford Law School.
You're viewing a single thread.
After all those riots, and speaking as a Canadian, it does seem there is a lobsided focus on right wing nut jobs over left wing nut jobs.
Surely others see this as well? Not saying this guy's sentence should be lighter, I don't care, but there was a lot of forgiveness for what antifa did.
As another Canadian... fucking seriously?
Yes.
I dont know whether to laugh, or to cry knowing you're probably going to do your best to Vote in PP
You'd just let Trudeau's blatant corruption go on forever?
The Conservative party has been the biggest detriment to Canada and to my province in decades. Li'l PP is going to be far more corrupt than Trudeau. Any Canadian who's been paying attention to politics and the Conservative party knows this.
A significant number of his votes are going to be from people who pay more attention to YouTube ads than politics...case in point, all the people who blamed the pandemic lockdowns on Trudeau...
There are no left wing nut jobs by comparison. There is no equivalent. What do you know?
Lol whatever you say.
No, really.
Denying reality doesn't stop it lmao
I don’t see anyone getting the standard punishment for insurrection or treason here so no this does not track.
(Maybe cause it was more a protest than anything, and the cops totally let them in the building)
The cops who were beat to death let them in?
Are you talking about the one died of a heart attack, or the one who had a stroke? Maybe the ones died of suicide in the year after they tried to blame on that too?
The individuals who passed physical fitness exams annually just so happened to have major cardiac attacks after being BEATEN TO DEATH.
If it wasn't them being violently beaten to death, ypu wouldn't have known the exact individuals being identified.
And I'm pretty sure you don't have to be beaten to death to prove you were beaten in a way that proves you didn't cooperate willingly.
Nice moving goalposts dipshit. We went from "the cops let them in" to "they only beat the cops to the edge of death and then they died of heart attacks."
What's it like having absolutely no critical thinking skills? I wish I could also just conveniently forget every fact that contravenes my bullshit in order to let me pretend to be right. "They died after being killed". Fucking brilliant bud.
Yes. Medical science can bring people back from having their heart stopped.
But if you could actually read for shit you would notice I said they were beaten to the edge of death then died of heart attacks.
Good job pointdexter.
Maybe this is the first time you've heard of a defibrillator?
But it's funny that's the point you want to debate, why are you refusing to talk about your shift from "the cops let them in willingly" to "they only beat the cops to death"?
major cardiac attacks after being BEATEN TO DEATH.
oh fuck off
Nice moving goalposts dipshit. We went from "the cops let them in" to "they only beat the cops to the edge of death and then they died of heart attacks."
Lmao, you literally can't even understand what you quoted. Are you a native English speaker? Did you miss everything about the defibrillator? Don't understand how a cardiac arrest can be triggered by excessive physical trauma?
Still focusing on your shifted goalposts too.
Refusing to defend your disproven point because you know it's not a tenable position.
So you just run like the coward you are.
Can't even address how beating cops is not a sign of cops helping you get through the doors.
So they beat the cop, and that led to the heart failure. In my world that's murder. Maybe not on fox news or whatever rag you're breathing from, but in the real world it's fucking murder ya clown.
You are aware that someone was justifiably shot to death for attempting to reach a protected person under siege right?
There were barricades and evacuations. There were calls for Pence’s head to be removed from his body because he didn’t do his part of the plan to realize the coup, there was planning prior to locate offices of persons of interest and escape routes, there was weapons confiscated before the event.
You don’t get to claim a protest because a single cop was sympathetic to the cause. But you know that. There is no ambiguity, at this point you are complicit in its white washing
"I believe everything CNN and prosecutors say because I'm actually fucking retarded." You. That's you.
Holy crap you're so completely delusional it's scary
or maybe i just looked at the big picture of what happened
You can't even cope with the fact they beat cops to death.
Ypu described it as "the cops let them in"
The irony in being in denial over all of the details while claiming to be looking at the big picture.
Lmao, then we have you. "I trust my feelings over facts."
Nah I'm just not a statist that needs it to be an attempted insurrection to justify my rhetoric. BTW, real insurrections aren't mostly unarmed staying inside the velvet ropes
Man look at this moron
Protests typically do not involve attempting to bash in interior windows, gaining access beyond barricaded doors, and armed officers having to resort to lethal measures to stop allegedly protestors.
Attempted insurrections do.
Got anything other than your precious feelings to back that statement up, snowflake?
And what did antifa do?
Short memory problem?
