Saying prosecutors should focus on Antifa, judge frees white supremacist in beating
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.
So whataboutism is now law?
That's the purpose of propaganda.
Right wing
mediapropaganda is a cancer on society... They literally formed a separate reality for people to live within.For the right and the people in power, laws are just a mere suggestion. In fact, them breaking the law is kind of a status symbol for them, note that they often apologizes for being caught, not for the deed they did.
In their endgame, they'll be rubbing it into our faces.
