MI Attorney General Drops All Charges Against U. Michigan Anti-Israel Protesters
“The group hugged each other, smiled and posed for a photo with their attorneys in the courtroom after learning the news.”
Of course this happened. No one will suffer any consequences, all but guaranteeing that this will happen again.
Again, this is a choice.
It’s happened in NY, MI, California.
The reason terror supporters exclusively try to terrorize people/harass/assault/vandalize/trespass etc in blue jurisdictions is because that’s where they don’t face any consequences for their illegitimate behavior. https://t.co/1DOIUU6OLn

Michigan AG Dana Nessel drops all charges against U-M pro-Palestinian protesters
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has dropped all charges against seven pro-Palestinian protesters arrested last year on the University of Michigan Diag.
The seven were facing misdemeanor charges of trespassing as well as felony charges of resisting and obstructing police. The defendants in the cases were: Oliver Kozler, Samantha Lewis, Henry MacKeen-Shapiro, Michael Mueller, Asad Siddiqui, Avi Tachna-Fram and Rhiannon Willow. All had pleaded not guilty.
The group hugged each other, smiled and posed for a photo with their attorneys in the courtroom after learning the news.
“I told you, ‘it’s a great day,’ ” Lewis said to the others, when their lawyers entered the courtroom from a meeting in the judge’s chambers.
Outside the courthouse before the proceedings began, about 50 demonstrators rallied in front of a sign reading “Drop the charges.” Speakers used an amplifier to address the crowd decrying the war in Gaza as genocide.
Inside the courthouse, the decision to drop the charges stunned defense lawyers, who were prepared to offer closing arguments in a preliminary exam that began in February.
Last month, Nessel faced calls for her to recuse herself for what critics describe as bias in the case. In a statement issued after the court hearing, Nessel defended herself and her decision to seek the felony charges.
“We did so based on the evidence and facts of the case,” the statement said. “I stand by those charges and that determination.”
Nessel criticized Ann Arbor District Judge Cedric Simpson for the slow pace of the case, saying there’d been “months and months” of court hearings without a ruling on whether there was enough evidence to send the case to circuit court for trial.

Of course.
One step closer to vigilante justice and civil war. The judiciary is rapidly losing all credibility and moral authority.
In this case not the judiciary, but an elected official.
So if a GANG of people go and terrorize Dana Nessel in her home, they should expect the same “justice”?
Fair is Fair, Right?
It sounds like Cedric Simpson is a problem. These kids presumably were caught in the act, or not, so the question of evidence should be easy.
If the charges are dropped without prejudice, they could be refiled later.
Or maybe something else went on behind the scenes. But the drawn out process does seem weird.
Or maybe he was simply agonizing over the question of whether there was enough evidence to force even a dedicated cultural saboteur like Dana Nessel to bring them to trial… and failing to realize that there is ever enough evidence.
Further evidence that Leftists are above the law in Blue states.
Looks like parents and students, especially Jewish ones, need to rethink getting an education in Blue states!
