Crimesha's Double Standard

Everyone always knew she was a useless "prosecutor."

And here's more proof that she's simply a useful idiot for the Machine:

• You may not be aware, but for the last four years the public policy of the Cook County state’s attorney’s office has been not to prosecute criminal violations tied to protests and demonstrations if the office deems those actions “peaceful.”

  That means the office as a matter of policy won’t prosecute protesters arrested for disorderly conduct, unlawful gathering or criminal trespass to state-supported land, among other laws.

  Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx reinforced these positions to her staff in a Nov. 15 memo, just as the protests over Israel’s campaign in the Gaza Strip were gaining momentum. Foxx’s office confirmed to us that the policy remains, even as aggressive protests on campuses have reached a point where some of America’s most storied universities have shut down in-person learning. She says it’s right there on the office’s website.

So political non-violent political protests were not going to be prosecuted....until August:

• She told us Thursday when we asked about the Nov. 15 memo that her office’s policy on protests won’t be in effect for the convention. Her office is huddling with other agencies such as the Chicago Police Department, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois, the FBI and the Secret Service on how to handle law and order at the event and are developing a cooperative strategy.

  Foxx, understandably, didn’t tell us the precise tactics envisioned in this multigovernmental initiative, but she was clear that her Nov. 15 memo wouldn’t apply during that time.

So protests that might embarrass democrats at their convention will be arrestable and prosecutable.

Two sets of rules. 

Everyone better do themselves a favor and not be anywhere near Box 1 or Box 2 or named in the narrative of any arrest at the DNC.
