DOJ Charges Newspaper Editor For Allegedly Grabbing Police Officer’s Arm At J6 Riot

-

Attorney General recently warned our court system to expect “thousands” of more indictments related to the on Jan. 6, 2021.

Now he's making good on his promise.

Garland's controversially brought charges yesterday at , the editor of The Jewish Press, a well-known Orthodox Jewish newspaper. Resnick traveled from New York City to Washington, D.C., that day to cover the Jan. 6 rally and subsequent riot for his paper.

What was Resnick's , you ask? Allegedly grabbing the arm of a Capitol officer as the officer pepper sprayed some of the rioters.

Hot Air further reports:

Resnick was charged with civil disorder and “interfering with .” I suppose that's technically true and he broke one of the fundamental rules of journalism. You're there to cover the story, not make yourself a part of the story.

But with that said, in any normal criminal proceeding this would almost certainly have been ignored. He was adjacent to an officer who was spraying a chemical irritant into the faces of protesters, and Resnick obviously succumbed to a human impulse to stop him. The officer clearly wasn't injured and suffered nothing more than a momentary inconvenience.

Beyond that, however, we shouldn't discount the fact that Resnick was a member of the press. The original rally was already an obvious story of interest and the incursion at the Capitol Building was clearly historic in nature no matter how you view the actions of the rioters. But if you're waiting for an outcry from all of the journalists at legacy outlets, don't hold your breath. You can rest assured that they won't be riding to this editor's defense or decrying any abuses of the freedom of the press.

Resnick's arrest is just the latest reminder coming from Joe Biden's that they plan to track down every single person who was present at the Capitol that day and do their level best to lock them up for as long as possible. They have shown almost zero interest in prosecuting anyone who participated in the BLM riots or the arsonists from Jane's Revenge who burned down crisis pregnancy centers. But if you're viewed as a Trump supporter, no mercy or quarter will be offered. Dissent is not tolerated.

  1. We really don’t have to put up with this, and there’s an answer to the problem. You all will come to the same conclusion one day.

  2. This has gotten so out of hand. Garland thinks he is above the law, that he can do as he wants just as Wray does. Both need to be gone, fired, ASAP. This garbage has to be stopped.

  3. Say , didn’t Herr Adolph Hitler do the EXACT SAME THING??? “POLICED” the mainstream newspapers, banned organizations , banned public discourse [freedom of speech] , banned churches , banned ownership of any and all firearms, lied , used propaganda, and inflated his reasons for becoming the FUHRER??????

  4. I can understand how the democrats are, they are disgusting to the bone and only go after their political enemies! But the courts that give their blessings to the double standards of justice, what is their excuse for such disgusting behavior in the courts? They should know better than that! Double standards of justice is no justice at all, it degrades the law to third world hellhole standards!!!

  5. do not care if you are journalist or not. it does NOT give you the right yo interfere in LE.

    now with that said this like so many other Americans is an abuse of power by the biden admin and the leadership of our Fed LE agencys. clearly an abuse of the 1st amend (peaceful protest) and freedom of the press. this is an attack on our religious freedom. now before some you jump in YES there were peaceful protestors. so save your time and breath. you would be barking up the wrong tree to deny there were.

  6. The Democrats have been actual Fascist, colluding with MSMedia, Tech to herd the ignorant and Shut Up the uncooperative smart-enough-to-see-the-reality types, for for quite a while now, not quite as violent, but every bit as Evil
