In his sentencing memo Thursday, U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney made it clear why he was letting Tyler Laube off lightly.
It wasnt just because of what Laube did or didnt 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.
Sentencing Mr. Laube to additional incarceration would only increase the disparity between his punishment and the lack of punishment (and prosecution) members of far-left groups who have committed the same violent conduct received, Carney wrote. The sentence: time served, 35 days, rather than the six months prosecutors had sought.
The same day Laube received his sentence at the federal courthouse in Santa Ana, California, the largest-ever prosecution of members of Antifa in American history was going to trial just 89 miles away.
In San Diego, the last two defendants in the San Diego 11 members of Antifa charged with committing violence against Trump supporters in January 2021 were sitting before a jury.
Their nine co-defendants have already been sentenced, some of them to years in prison, for their crimes.
Literally disproven of his claims by shit happening a few towns over the same fucking day!
I definitely remember this ass clown judge's name from prior scandalous rulings, just forgot what they were exactly.
He's a habitual villain that needs to be removed from the bench.
