Trump Inauguration Protestors Found NOT GUILTY

in #dtube7 years ago


In this Majority Report clip, we discuss how first six defendants in the J20 protest case were acquitted of all charges after being arrested for protesting Donald Trump's inauguration. During the inauguration protests, authorities rounded up more than 200 people and charged each of them for a small amount of property damage committed by a few people.

With the acquittal, this is a huge with for the defendants' decision to fight the charges in solidarity as a group. Instead of taking individual plea bargains, and therefore acknowledging guilt, the J20 group has stood together and maintained their innocence in the face of what is a dubious charge from the federal government.

What about the Standing Rock protesters? The Democratic primary rigging protesters? Many of them were charged. Those are the important issues.

Thanks a lot for sharing this important news, there is power in number, sometimes!

Namaste :)

Nice post! Their acquittal shows the supreme power of fundamental human rights in expressing their opinions. I follow and upvote you.

Protesting is the voice of the People and I'm fully behind that but when it turns violent, especially when the initial intent is violence then I have a problem. This is exactly what we've seen with Antifa and most already know these are paid soros college kids with no life. Free speech means protecting the most unpopular speech be it these knuckleheads, the klan or whomever.
