All Criminal Charges Dropped Against Anti-Israel Protesters at U. Texas Austin
“all 79 people who were arrested on April 29 had their charges thrown out”
Of course. We’re at the point where no one even expects the left to be held accountable for things like this.
FOX News reports:
All criminal trespassing charges dropped against anti-Israel UT Austin protesters
Prosecutors in Texas have dropped criminal trespassing charges against nearly 80 anti-Israel agitators who demonstrated on the University of Texas at Austin campus in April during the height of the college campus protests, with UT Austin leaders slamming the decision.
Travis County Attorney Delia Garza announced that all 79 people who were arrested on April 29 had their charges thrown out. At an earlier protest at the campus, 56 arrests were made with criminal trespass charges dropped the following day.
The news comes after dozens of anti-Israel protesters who occupied and barricaded themselves in buildings on the Columbia University campus in April had their charges dropped last week.
“After examining and weighing all the evidence presented, we have determined that we cannot meet our legal burden to prove these 79 criminal trespass cases beyond reasonable doubt, and they will be dismissed,” Garza said, according to Fox 7.
“At the time, I voiced my concerns about the large volume of arrests on the low-level non-violent charge,” Garza said.
Garza said a team of prosecutors spent 90 hours evaluating these cases before a decision was made. She said her team reviewed evidence including body camera footage and hundreds of pages of offense reports, the law and concerns about violations of constitutionally protected rights of free speech.
“We also have the responsibility to determine if pursuing any case is in the interest of justice, in the interest of public safety, and aligns with the values of this community,” Garza said.

“At the time, I voiced my concerns about the large volume of arrests on the low-level non-violent charge,” Garza said.
garza continued
same thing applies to theft
if there is no violence we dont prosecute
garaz also stated that the definition of violence is fluid
for instance
if a maga type says something
that is violence and we would prosecute
but say a police station is burned down by the historically oppressed nike wearing chanel carrying blmplo members?
we wouldnt prosecute b/c they need a way to tel white society that they wont be looked at wrongly ever again
she ended by saying
thanks for your votes and your tax money
Sedition charges against this prosecutor. The cases could have been won by a high school student. They were there, it was trespassing.
Sedition?! Seriously?! Or are you just making up random things?
Even if there were some appropriate charge, it couldn’t be brought because prosecutors have absolute immunity. But in this case there isn’t even a charge.
Anyone really surprised?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to recall that judges and prosecutors were MUCH more conscientious about following all their responsibilities back when lynching was a thing.
