============================================Bragg declines to charge dozens of anti-Israel protesters at Columbia
The Manhattan district attorney “who charged President Trump
with 34 felonies over an internal business record
is letting violent, pro-Hamas rioters go free,” said Sen. Tom Cotton.Despite dramatic video footage showing the New York City Police
Department entering a building on the Columbia University campus
on the Upper West Side to arrest anti-Israel protesters who had
barricaded themselves within, Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney,
is declining to press charges against many of the alleged offenders.A Manhattan prosecutor “argued that the defendants should not
face criminal penalties, citing their lack of criminal histories and
arguing that the protesters will face internal discipline at Columbia,”
The Washington Free Beacon reported from within the courthouse on Thursday.“The prosecutor also argued that Bragg’s office lacked evidence
to land convictions in the cases, given those who occupied Hamilton Hall
wore masks and covered up surveillance cameras,” the paper added.
“New York City police arrested the occupiers while they were inside Hamilton Hall.”The Free Beacon reported that Bragg’s office dismissed charges
against 30 of the 46 people arrested for allegedly entering the building illegally.After the charges were dismissed, one protester, “whose entire head
was covered with a ski mask,” said at a press conference that
“the protesters ‘resist the pigs, the police in the U.S.’”“This is standing with Palestinian resistance,” the protester said,
per the Free Beacon. “This is an interlinking of our struggles—
struggles against carceral violence, against colonialism, against racism,
against genocide.” The person also said that the protesters
“refuse to condemn the Palestinian resistance.”JNS sought comment from the Manhattan D.A.’s office.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) wrote that Bragg, “who charged
President Trump with 34 felonies over an internal business
record is letting violent, pro-Hamas rioters go free.”Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) called the Manhattan prosecutor’s
decision “gutless.” The watchdog group StopAntisemitism
commented that it was “flabbergasted” at Bragg’s decision.Gerard Filitti, senior counsel at the Lawfare Project, wrote that
Bragg dropped the charges “for lack of evidence that they were
trespassing in a building they barricaded themselves in.”“It’s time for the Justice Department to step in
and protect our civil rights,” he added.He is very ethical and lets his sense of ethics guide his work. He knows to try to throw Trump in jail on absurd charges (paying off a blackmailer is legal, the blackmailer is the criminal, not the victim). He understands that Trump is be definition the enemy of the people and needs to be in prison, and since the Constitution prohibits Bills of Attainder, he uses the tools available.
He also knows that Jews are “our misfortune” as the goyim say, and that those demanding the elimination of the Jews are doing a public service and should of course not be prosecuted.
Bragg’s perceptions of ethics reflect the mainstream of the American left, and the Democratic party. The problem are the “useful idiots” who enable those with such beliefs to come to power and use their power to implement their anti-democratic agenda.
Alvin Bragg, yemach shemo
